First day of gymnastics

Hello all,

The pleasure of watching your kids truly enjoy an activity is wonderful. Tonight, Jennifer, Diane and I watched Ali and Zac participate in their first gymnastics session. I know that Ali was in gymnastics when she was 3, but this is so much better than before.

Let me start with Zac. He took to tumbling like a duck to water. He was swinging on rings and walking across the balance beam without hesitation. We were all shocked at how comfortable he was from the start. He was always trying to go faster and make it around the circuit before the rest of his class. Nothing could get the smile off of his face. He was in his element. When it was his turn to bounce on the trampoline, he was ecstatic. Wow, to watch him come alive with excitement was great. Great job Jennifer! You deserve all the credit for signing Zac up for this activity.

As for Alexandria, she was having fun as well. Her practice started off with stretching and jogging around the facility to prepare her body for a workout. She was focused on her teachers instructions and did her best to balance and tumble on queue. The reason we signed Ali up for gymnastics was to allow her to continue to work on her flexibility and strength training. Both were noted on her report card. Now she will be in an environment that will promote a fun activity to get stronger and more coordinated.

I am proud of both of my kids. I'm so happy that you enjoyed your first lesson at Mercury Gymnastics.

Good night,

-Andy
