Tumbling and Running!

This past Friday we had a busy day - luckily I was able to work from home most of the day so I could join in on the festivities... Early Friday morning Declan's school had a Boosterthon fun run. Basically you contribute a certain amount of money per lap and the kids run as many laps as they can. It caps the laps at 35 and Declan ran that amount plus some... It was fun as we took the girls who got a kick out of it and we met some parents in Declan's class (plus half our neighborhood was there :-))

Here are some pictures from the fun run... Thank goodness the kindergarten class was early as it was so hot!


Aven...

Declan and the other kids just before they were to take off running!

Aven wanting to get out - we kept them contained as long as we could... Notice the butterfly wings that Stevie is wearing... Hey - it's hard getting 3 2-year olds out of the house and somewhere before 8 am!

Daddy and Bri Bri...

The man - he looks so old here!

Telling them how awesome he did...

Right after the fun run, we had the girls first gymnastics class - basically it was a trial class and then we can decide if we want them to join the class. I think it went really well! Aven and Stevie went right out with barely a look back and it took Bria almost until the end of the class to venture out. She's usually our scary cat, so it wasn't a surprise... As long as she could hang onto her and her sisters socks she seemed to do okay :-) At the end of the class the parents get to go out with the kids for them to show us their moves. All and all, I considered it a success and looking forward to Andy taking them each Friday (especially since they napped awesome!)

Aven on the parallel bars - this did bring back memories for me when I was like 5 and in gymnastics - I remember hating it because I could never do the splits... I'm still one of the least flexible people I know.

Aven was the most engaged and really paid attention and listened to the teacher - Stevie was hit or miss and Bria, well she wasn't having any of it. But hey 2 out of 3 - not bad!

This was once Bria ventured out and her and Stevie did their own thing while Aven was over paying attention.
