Grace the Gymnast

Thursday, October 18 was Grace's FIRST night of gymnastics!  She was SO excited to learn how to perfect her cartwheel and hoped to learn how to do a "crab walk".  Actually, the entire family was excited to see Grace at gymnastics.  Mommy, Daddy, and Kaitlyn all went along to watch our little gymnast.  At the end of her class, we all greeted Grace at the gym entrance.  She ran out all smiles and exclaimed " I wish it was LONGER! Can I come Back TOMORROW?"   Kaitlyn LOVED watching big sister.  She would often yell "Grraace" from the balcony (where we were watching).

 Above is a picture of Grace attentively listening to her teacher (also named Grace).

Somersault time on the bar.  By the third time she was doing this task all by herself!
