Gymnastics!

Chris and I have always said our kids would need gymnastics because there is a good chance they will be tall and uncoordinated, so Brynne is taking gymnastics. There have been a couple of days where she didn't seem too interested, but I think she likes it overall.

They have several different rotations set up, but it's mostly just everyone doing what the kid wants to do. Here is Brynne jumping on one of the trampolines.

Crawling through a tunnel:

She can't actually hold herself up on the bar, but she likes to sway back and forth and say swing, swing.

Probably the most favorite part of class for all the kids is getting to go into the "big" gym! This is where all normal sized (instead of toddler sized) stuff is. There is also a giant slide. Brynne always wants to go down, but will never actually do it once she gets up there. I went down with her once and she went down once, but since then she won't do it.

I have always wondered how gymnasts learned to do their crazy tricks without hurting themselves all the time. Well here is how, this is a pit with foam blocks that is under the uneven bars. If they fall, they have a super soft landing!

Here she is at home practicing her somersaults. She is getting really good at them! She is also much closer to being able to jump. I guess the class is paying off!
