Gymnastics

Claire has been taking gymnastics now for a under 2 years. She started out as a "tot", a class for 2's and 3's.    This past January, she began the "beginner's" classes for 4-8 year olds. She truly LOVES it! This is her second 8 week session and she is really doing well. Here are some pictures of this week's class. I do apologize for the graininess, as I do not have a "high powered zoom" and we were not allowed to stand neat the areas where they practice. Just in case you can't see her, she is the one in the green shirt and black leggings.
