Chalk Bunnies

Although the girls have been loving gymnastics, I'm not sure how much we will be in the gym this summer, so I took a lot of pictures during the last couple of practices. Here are just a few :-) ...
 




















Alyssa loves beam. Probably her strength at gymnastics right now is her flexibility. She has worked very hard at it.


 Emma's strength is probably how hard she works to make every movement perfect. She loves all the details.


 Doing her best to vault like the big girls.


 

 

 
 

 This is quite possibly my least favorite gymnastics skill ~ EVER! Windmill circle around the bar. They are really painful until you learn the exact technique needed to get around the bar. Think bar burns on the inner thighs ~ Ouch!!


 


 

 Almost in sync with their handstands.


 She was so proud when she learned how to do a one-armed cartwheel.


 A coaching moment between me and Rebekah?


 She loves the gym {and is pretty comfortable there too, from the looks of this pic}! Alyssa looked at this picture, laughed, and said, "She thinks she's hot stuff!"


 Sorry about the blurry pic, but Emma always runs down the runway for vault with this same happy expression on her face. Anyone who has ever tried to vault knows that it is entirely impossible to do a good vault while you're smiling this big, but it seems to work for her! She loves vault.


 Like big sister, like little sister.

Wow, just from looking at pictures, it looks like Emma is pretty good! Close to level 4?? I love Rebekah's purple leo :) Alyssa looks so tall in all her pictures... maybe it's just because she's so thin... she's built like Nastia Lukin (sp??)
