Family Movie Night and Gymnastics Greatness

(All these were taken with David's new camera! It ROCKS. We have no idea how to use it yet though, so these are all just on 'auto'. Hopefully we'll get better at it!)

Our city does fun stuff in the summer. We've been hitting the "Concert in the Park" series a few Fridays lately. But this past weekend was "Movie in the Park" night. FUN. Only, made for a late night seeing that they couldn't start it until dark. BOTH girls stayed awake the entire time! So, getting up for church the next morning was a bit brutal after getting home after 10pm. But SO worth it!! Here is B hanging out in the stroller for the first time out of her carrier. Enlarge this one to see her GORGEOUS baby blues!! :) Gotta love those Beaver blue eyes.

B is just so laid back. She sat there the entire time, ate, smiled, chilled. :)


Some peas for our Sweet Pea.
Reagan was really into "Horsey" with Daddy.

One of my faves of her recently. :)

Here she is LITERALLY jumping back on the horse.

Pointing out the characters to Daddy from Madagascar2. We have the first one, never seen the second. So, she was excited!

I put B's seat back flat, but she never zonked. R kept going to check on her to make sure she was doing ok. Sweet girl. It was really fun, and we look forward to the next one!

*Warning: LOTS of pics here. Mostly for Grandparent viewing*
Our big girl started gymnastics this summer! And oh man, does she EVER love it!! Yesterday was her second day. Her class is for 3s and 4s, but they let her in it even though she isn't quite 3 yet. So it is obvious that she is the youngest one. And the new kid... some of these kiddos have been here for 2 years already. But her coach said she is doing really great! Here is her class and another class getting warmed up... not sure what they are doing. But that is her cute little hiney in the black leotard.

There are only 5 in her class, which is awesome. As is this face she is making....

Here is her "pike" with her arms up. :)

She concentrates SO hard... it is really cute. To us at least. :)

Watching intently on what she is supposed to do next.

Each station has about 4-5 activities on it, and they change stations about every 10 minutes. This was Beam... they had several balancing things to do here. Including crawling on the beam...... then walking it. Her coach (Dan) does an AWESOME job with her... always looking out for the little kid. :) She had never done a beam that was not on the ground before, so he was sticking close to her. But the second time... she did it all by herself!

"Ta-da!" He makes sure they salute everytime they finish. This may be her favorite part.

Nope, her favorite part is the pit. She LOVES the "blocks." Here she goes swinging!

While she was swinging he hollered at her to pull her feet up to the bar... and she totally did it! And kept them there while she swung! I think he was even surprised... he goes "WOW! You really did it!" Then she got to let go and fall in after about 3 swings, which she loved.

All of these pics are not as good as they should be with our new camera because they won't let us flash in there. And they are taken through the glass window. So these are a bit blurry. But Here is another winner for Reagan... the big trampoline!

Jump to the end and "Ta-da!"

Finishing her "cartwheel." She actually does pretty good with it! (and by "good" I mean better than some of the other kids.)

Somersaults!

She LOVES how bouncy everything is in there! This girl loves to bounce. You can just jump off the mat and...

"Ta-da!!" Getting the hang of it.

See?!? :)

Just more bouncing in the line.

Time to go home. "Ta-da!"

And here is Brooklyn the entire time we are there. She REALLY liked watching all the action. She was squealing nonstop!

Here's some video... again, mostly for grandparent view-age. Some are longer than others, but all hilarious to us!! I just love that she loves it so much! You'll really be able to tell how little she is compared to the others.

The "bars" station. They were supposed to cross their ankles on the bar and swing, but she liked this instead I guess!


The last 5 minutes, all the kids in their gym get together for something fun. Parachute, bouncy castle, something. This time is was a "bear hunt." There was a bear hiding in the gym and they found it in this corner. They all had to RUN away back to the "tree" by "crossing back over the river," etc. It was hysterical.

Whew! Ok, kudos if you made it all the way through that!!! Hopefully we'll get more figured out on the new camera for even better posts soon!
