Lex has been in tumbling now for two years. He's signed up for recreation and so doesn't get the opportunity to compete. The gym displays their trophies around the facility and Lex is always wishing for one. A few times a year, the gym puts on a fun meet which is for all gymnasts to show off their skills and get prizes. So, Lex & Isabel expressed an interest in participating and signed up for this event. It was a lot of fun watching them show off the new skills they've learned. When I sometimes go to watch Lex or Isabel practice, I don't always get to see what they are doing because the seating area doesn't have a view of the entire facility. They are getting so good & so flexible. Who knew my kids could bend so far?!
The kids all warmed up together and then split off into their appropriate age groups & levels. The girls had four events while the boys had six events.
Isabel Event #1
Lex Event #3
AWARDS CEREMONY
p.s. Lex's "rolling eyes" look lately for pictures comes from his dad. Shane does this quite often when I take pictures of him & I think Lex has caught on. He's been such a ham for the camera lately & so funny & expressive.
FUN BUCKS
For the past few months, the kids earn "fun bucks" in class for good behavior, attendance, listening, etc. They save up their fun bucks to spend at events such as these. Isabel chose a tootsie pop & cinderella mini-frisbee. Lex chose two bouncy balls in which he gave one to his dad to share.
