Gymnastics Winners!

Today along with the exciting news from Papa Herman and Lois, was a day of Olympics for the girls at gymnastics class. They got to have family and friends attend class and then were awarded with special gymnastics medals. It was a special day for both of them; big brother Akorren is very eager to have his class start in the fall. All 3 of them are now registered for classes that will start in Sept. I was not able to get all 3 of them going on the same day for class but hopefully it will work out. Merlova really enjoyed the classes over the summer and was so quick to pick up the instructions, she seems to have taken to it really well. She always likes to jump for her dismount and will hold her arms up and out saying, "...one two, stick like glue!". Zhivanna enjoyed her classes as well, often times she was the only girl in class, this did not seem to bother her. Her very active energy and willingness to do the moves over and over again is a good learning thing at this age. I think it was a time well spent and with all the muscles you have to use to do gymnastics these ladies are going to be very fit. They are my gymnastics winners!
