Ava Tries Gymnastics...


Waiting in line at the bars

Ava getting a turn on the bars

Even a flip!

Balance beam: low one first
 

Even a flip on the high beam from the child who is scared to stand on our kitchen counters!

Her whole class of 4-5 year olds

Luverne offers so many wonderful community education activities for young kids.  It was hard to pick which ones to put Ava in this summer.  We have never tried gymnastics and they put on a little class that lasted four days, one hour per day which was a great introduction.  Of course, Ava was super excited to go (huge change from last summer prior to preschool when she was scared to try anything!).  She knew many of the girls from dance or preschool.  They did some elaborate stretching as a group and each got their turns jumping on the trampoline and doing flips, walking on the balance beam, and the swinging on the bars.  Ava really seemed to like it although wasn't able to do many of the activities without assistance.  You could really tell the 5 year olds that had taken a whole year of gymnastics already.  She is disappointed that it's over and asking what we are going to do next week!
