My Future Olympians

Every parent has moments when they are so proud of their children and they think the world of them.  Well I am having one of those moments today.  My children are nothing short of AMAZING!  Nothing else to it.  I could see them as future Olympians.

We had our talent showcase today for gymnastics and I was completely blown away from what they have learned in half a year!  Here are some pictures.

First up was the floor routine.  I didnt know you could do a handstand this straight!  You are awesome buddy!  You were excellent at the rest, except the saluting at the beginning and ending :)

Then the mushroom (horse practice) and then parallel bars.  Sometimes I dont realize how strong you are to hold yourself up for that long like that!  Way to go buddy!

Last was the high bar which is oh so fun!  You are getting so strong and good at kicking yourself up to speed.  

Then the pride of getting a shirt and a medal!

Then J'alee gets her turn.  Im sorry sweetie but your floor routine pictures are horrible.  The lighting and the settings I put did not work very well.  But you were great!  Second was the balance beam.  You did so great!  I cant even balance myself this well while walking normal!

 

Then came the vault.  Of course none of the running pictures turned out but we got some good video of it.  All you needed was a little flip on the feet to ensure you got all the way over!

Then the uneven bar.  I was surprised at how well you were able to hold yourself up and how quickly you learned to nearly kick yourself all the way over!  You can also hold yourself up for quite a long time.  It is amazing how much you have improved on the bar!  And to think you were scared of it at first!

 Hurray you did it!  You made remarkable progress too!

At the end Jamis couldnt restrain himself any longer...and neither could I!  What do you expect for a 5 hour event from a little one!

 Thanks to coaches and trainers!
