Gymnastics year one.

This fall we also started "GIN-NASTIKS".

We have been wanting to do this for a long time but just got around to it.

She LOVES it!

 

This bar set was really difficult for her but she worked SO hard at it.

The goal was to put both feet on the bar.

She kept trying to lift her foot up there but eventually figured out that you have to pull yourself up closer with your arms.

When she finally got it, she was so proud!

She turned to me and gave be a thumbs up!!

 

 I also didn't realize how strong she is. She held her self up in both these position for a loooong time.

 They also get to do the trampoline, practice cartwheels, the balance beam, somersaults, etc.

Look at those tiny tip toes!

 

 

Baylor Parade 2017.

Last weekend was Baylor Homecoming and since we are near the route, we walked downtown to be a part of the hoopla.

 

 

 For the kiddos, that means mostly getting a ton of candy.

We have watched from campus a few years and one thing we noticed is that there is a lot more candy given away at the beginning!

 We went with sweet friends and accidently dressed the same!

The floats are always my favorite part and these were the best two.

 How cool is the Monopoly one??!

There was so much detail - the silos, murals, and a WV mountaineer in jail.

 

 



Soccer year 1.

We decided to try soccer this year. Baylor hosts a little camp/league.
She did pretty well. She enjoyed it, mostly, so that's all we were really interested in at this point.
As the year went on, she realized that she wanted to score goals and was pretty unhappy if she didn't.
She controls the ball really well and even though soccer is the one sport I know nothing about, I was able to recognize that she follows direction well and is a very good listener.

It was a good season and a great introduction to team sports.
