Sports!

Handstand Hazel

So you've heard all about my run club and rock climbing class. While I've been busy with that, Hazel has been taking gymnastics and Turner has been taking a class at the gym called Sports Sampler, which is a class about a different sport each week.

Hazel really loves gymnastics and is great at it. She does all kinds of things; she jumps on giant trampolines, does hand stands, walks on a balance beam, climbs, and swings around on ropes and bars. She practices cartwheels at home all the time. She started taking it in the summer after we returned from our road trip and recently signed up to take it again in the spring. Special thanks to Bubbe for helping pay for her classes as Hazel's birthday present.

Gymnastics day at Sports Sampler

Turner is so excited about Sports Sampler too. Every day he asks what day it is so he can figure out whether he has his class. At the end of each class he tells Mom he wishes he could take it every day.

So far he has done soccer, basketball, gymnastics, tee ball and a bunch of other things. He is the only kid besides the teacher's two daughters. One of the girls is named Hazel, which he thinks is really funny. His teacher uses lots of songs in the class and tons of imagination. They do lots of funny, imaginative things with scarves, scooters, hula hoops and other PE class-type items.
