Gymnastics ~ Jumping for Fun!
I recently went into the gym after one of Chloe’s practices to take some pictures that would fit I ♥ Faces bill of their theme “Jump for Joy”. In doing so I took some shots that are ones to remember. This one was taken after her coach, Mike told her to do begin a dive roll but then bail out of it before the roll. I caught her mid air looking like Super Man! Right after this she face planted into the mat at the end of the Tumble Trak! Too funny for words!

Hi, Heidi! Very cool picture that brought back many memories for me. My daughter (now 13) was a level 7 gymnast before we moved to Kodiak, Alaska, (the land of God’s infinite beauty and no gymnastics). Poor girl really misses those 20 hours a week at the gym, but they have track and cross-country here, so she’s content. I showed her the picture of your daughter, and she had two comments: “Awesomeness!” and “I remember doing that once, only I wasn’t told to do it.” 🙂 I’m so glad I saw your “gymnastics” tag when I was reading your Simple Womans Daybook entry! Thanks for the smile.
Blessings,
Voni

I am glad it brought back fond memories. I am quite sure that Chloe (nor myself) can imagine a life without gymnastics at this point. It is kind of all consuming! My hope is that at some point she will get to experience level 7 just so she gets a chance to have her own routines. 🙂
