Gymnastics

Ever since Hamp's big Alice In Wonderland performance back in November, he has been on a bit of hiatus as far as showing off his skills and talents...

... but Sam on the other hand has been quite busy!
Between his piano song and his 1st grade show, Sam has spent December on a performance run.
Last, but possibly most exciting, was his gymnastics showcase.

He has been given a great foundation in tumbling over the past year or so through Meeker Rec center programs. But in September we enrolled him a level 1 class down in Rifle (45 miles south!) to see if he would enjoy pushing himself a little farther and trying some new skills.
Turns out - it was a great experience and he has done some really amazing things in 3 months!

Jason, Hamp and I went for family showcase night and were so excited to finally see what he had been doing...

The warm-up skills alone were pretty challenging - but he loved it!





He enjoys the class so much ~ and after watching all that he can do now we are happy to see what he'll be doing this spring in level 2!!!

  2. What a shame this place is such a long drive for you, Sam seems to take it so seriously and is actually really good! Do I see some gold medals in the future??? ~ J
