Logan's Last Gymnastics Class

Yesterday was Logan's last gymnastics class. Since January, he's been going weekly to Shining Star Athletics and learning lots of fun gymnastics moves. It was a great class with just 5 kids around Logan's age. Jacob and I dropped him off every week and he did the class on his own, he loved it.

My mom joined Jacob and I yesterday for his last class to watch what he had learned, it was great!

Sitting on the mat waiting for class to start. I think Jacob thought he could just sneak in ad join the class.

His coach, Kate, is asking him what animal he would like everyone to be to run across the room.

He chose for everyone to be a TIGER! (Better than the camel he picked the week before...still not sure how one would move like a camel!)

One of the other kids decided they should be giraffes!

Getting a bean bag to practice balancing.

Jacob watches closely.

Getting ready to stretch.

Smelling their stinky feet!

Upside down!

Preparing to jump off the red block. This was quite an accomplishment for Logan!

Walking up the wall to do a handstand!

Swinging on the bar.

Getting ready to "spin the cat" with help from Kate.

Finishing the flip.

Waiting on the rainbow mat for his next turn.

Jacob continues to watch patiently.

Doing star jumps on the trampoline.

At the end of class, Kate had them all get up on the block and do a "ta da" and then she gave them a treat and a list of what they had learned.

Yay!

He did his "tada" so fast, it was hard to get a picture! (Picture taken by Mom)

Great Job!

Logan loved every class he took. Hopefully we'll be able to sign him (and Jacob) up again sometime.

It sure was fun to watch! And Jacob was so good, staying off the mat once the class started. I loved seeing Logan's confidence!
