Gymnastics Day

We have a friend in our ward whose daughter is part of gymnastics.  They travel to the Tri-Cities every week for her practices.  They told us about free gymnastics day and invited us to come.

There were a couple of little performances for people to watch.  I thought these were cool and some of the older kids who did flips and twists were really good.  I have to admit the gymnastics is my favorite part of the Olympics to watch. 

There also were times where the kids could play on the different gymnastics equipment.  Adam liked going down this little slide.

Up high was a spot for slightly older kids that Whitney and Rachel spent most of their time at.  Whitney is waiting in line to jump into the pit.

And in the pit.  Both girls spent at least an hour jumping into this foam block pit.

Each jump led to big smiles so it must have been quite fun.

Megan liked this car track and spent a lot of time sliding on it.  Even Adam did this a couple of times.

Megan climbing onto the double bars.  No crazy flips were done but she showed off her balancing skills.

This was Adam's favorite spot.  It was a long thin trampoline.  Unfortunately, only one kid was allowed on it at a time so you had to wait for your turn a lot.  But Adam still loved it.

Maybe one day we could get our kids involved in gymnastics because they all had a lot of fun here.  But I don't know if they would actually like being told what to do versus having free reign with the toys and equipment.  Still a fun day.
