Logan's Last Gymnastics Class

Logan finished up another session at Shining Star Athletics this week. He's taken classes here with Coach Kate before and really enjoyed them. I was so happy when I was able to get him into a class this session since he's been asking since the fall to take gymnastics again.

He's learned a lot this time around and has definitely gotten better at a lot of the tasks. When he started in his first session, he didn't even want to jump off a block that was about a foot off the ground. Now he's walking on balance beams and jumping all over the place. It was really fun to get to watch him enjoying himself so much.

Talking about what they'll be doing during the class.
Getting ready to run!
Doing the crab walk!
Warm up stretches.
Once the warm ups are done, Kate sets up "circuits" for the kids to go through to practice their skills. This way they are able to work independently and she can step in to help them as they need it!

Logan completing a donkey kick.
Setting up to do a handstand...
...with a little help. :)
Patiently waiting his turn.
This time a somersault!
Just a little help this time.
Good finish.
Swinging on the bar.
Rolling a ball down the balance beam and into the tunnel.
A little hula hoop action.
Jacob was a great spectator but was even happier when he got to join in.
Tricky! A hula hoop down the balance beam.
His entire class waiting on the rainbow mat for the next circuit to be set up.
Kind of a dark picture but this time he spun around the bar!
I'm sure Logan will be asking if he can start gymnastics again soon!

Logan looks so long all of a sudden. Did he have a growth spurt??
