Caught In Action!

Mark and I thought we would share a couple of the pictures that were taken last Saturday at gymnastics class. As you can see, Finley is a natural monkey and loved to swing on the rope and climb the bars. Joshua, on the other hand, seemed to enjoy the trampoline and the tunnel - no big surprises there (sorry it's a little out of focus)! The class is 45 minutes long and began with some floor exercises that included the kids running around in a circle and freezing in place. From there, we switched to climbing, jumping, swinging and roiling on a round cylinder. then, it was off to the tunnels, balance beams and bars (neither Joshua nor Finley seemed impressed with swinging on the bars / hoops by themselves). Finally, the class ended on the trampolines - where the kids were encouraged to stand and jump on the tramps all by themselves (without the parent's help). The J-man was more partial to sprinting accross with bounding strides.As you can see from the picture below, by the time the 45 minutes are over and it is time for a stamp; Joshua was pretty beat!

The rest of our weekend was fantastic. We were able to enjoy the weather outdoors and have some great, quality time with our little family. The 2 concerts were great (Watchmen and Blue Man Group) and the party for G-G Helen was lot of fun and Joshua was a huge hit with all the friends, family and animals.

Take care,

J
