Scenes from gymnastics camp

Amelia and Lola have completed their required gymnastics camps and are gearing up to start weekly classes in September. This was Amelia's third camp, but Lola's first time to take to the mat. She's been waiting patiently as possible and was so happy when it was finally her turn.

Amelia is getting some pointers on her form from her instructor Miss Laura, who is tackling her first year as the owner/instructor of the gymnastics school. I have faith she will do an excellent job.

Miss Laura watches as Amelia performs the L-hang, which, if the look on Amelia's face is any indication, is not an easy skill to do.

Getting a ride in the donut is Amelia's favorite part of class.

Miss Taylor picked up the speed when she propelled the donut causing Amelia to squeal with delight.

Getting a big hug from Miss Laura at the end of camp.

Amelia had to have a hug from Miss Taylor, the assistant instructor, too.

Lola is learning from Miss Laura how to do a forward roll on the wedge.

Look at those ponytails fly while Lola performs her frog jumps!

My brave little girl took to the high balance beam like a duck to water.

Lola may be little, but she's strong.

Miss Laura dishes out a big hug to Lola, who is proudly displaying her blue ribbon for achievement.
