A fun day

Yesterday we got out of our post-Christmas blues! Hooray! We spent the morning around the table, working on thank-you cards and other projects. Just being together. Just chatting. Fun.

In the afternoon we headed out for a free hour of gymnastics and rock wall climbing at a local gymnastics academy – part of the parks & rec department promo. It was a madhouse of people, but the girls had a great time. Some neighbors came, which made it even more fun! The pictures are terrible, but I just don’t have the professional camera required to take good pictures in a gym. My big lens came in very handy, but it doesn’t have a low enough f/stop and I don’t have a big enough flash to take really good pictures in that situation.

In the evening we were invited to the L’s for dinner, cookie decorating, and games. It was super fun – Mrs. L is the music teacher and we {heart} her! What a good day.

 Sarah’s turn!

Elise loved the gymnastics. Here she is hanging from a bar and is about to drop into a huge pit full of blue foam squares. Apparently on Elise’s 2nd round through the gymnastics course, she told her instructor, at almost every station, “I know how to do this. I already did it.” Sheesh.

  Becca & Elise are such good friends…even on the gymnastics floor.

Time for headstands!

Beautiful cookie, Elise!

Thanks, Mrs. L for a fun night!
