Gymnastics

Tonight the girls started gymnastics.  They have been in tumbling for the past 3 months and love it, but a time change for the summer session forced us to switch.  They were in the same tumbling class, but now they are in 2 different classes.  Neither one had a problem with it though.  Larissa was a little hesitant since it was a new teacher and sissy wasn't going with, but it turned out both classes went upstairs to warm up together before splitting up, and by then Rissy was just happy to be there.  Both girls had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave.  In this class they do more of the balance beam, rings, uneven bars, as well as the trampoline and other things they used in tumbling.  They loved trying the new equipment. 

these were the best pictures I could get.  sorry the videos are sideways.  For some reason when I take them on my phone they transfer in sideways and I can't figure out how to rotate them.

That's Larissa in the black leotard.  I think she's on the trampoline here

you can see her legs only as she flips back
