Our little gymnast

When we first moved to Florida I was looking for some fun things for Sadie to do around the area. One of my neighbors told me about a gymnastics place around here that you can go every Monday and Friday for $5 and let your kid run around, jump on the trampolines and use all the equipment. So for months I was taking Sadie there and then I decided to enroll her in a class. I am so glad I did. The girl loves it and always looks forward to tuesdays when we get to go see Coach Jean and learn how to do cartwheels, front rolls, handstands, triangles, pike, straddle legs, tucks, do tricks on the tumble track, swing on the rings, do tricks on the balance beam and so on. Hey, I have even learned a thing or two about the sport. I can't wait to see Sadie take Gold in the 2020 Olympics.

warming up is always a good idea before exerting your muscles

I think it is so fun to see Sadie use all these things she has learned at home. She has become a little monkey around the house climbing and swinging from everything.

Awesome! I didn't have the upper body strength for gymnastics, but lucky for Sadie, she does. But watch out those Germans don't convince her to join their Olympic team.
