Gymnastics

Rachel's extracurricular activity of choice this year is gymnastics. She did ballet last year, but wanted to switch to gymnastics this school year. After her first week of gymnastics she declared, "Gymnastics is so much more fun than ballet!" I'm so glad she's found something she enjoys. And she has the perfect little petite, yet strong, build for gymnastics. Last semester she was at Gymtex and on December 17th they held a Parents Night so the children could share with us what they learned. For about an hour Rachel did different routines. At the end she was awarded a medal, which she was thrilled about!

Here are some pictures (it was really hard to get decent pictures from where we were sitting and where Rachel was normally doing her stuff, but we did our best):

Andy was able to get one decent video when one of her routines was right by where we were sitting:
