It is time for Morgan to shine in her athletic abilities. She started taking gymnastics about 3 months ago and for the most part enjoys herself. But tonight she was so different from the rest of the weeks. She actually was participating in the different stations. She usually runs around and does opposite of what the coach is asking.
Tonight they practiced jumping to the lower uneven bar, they had to jump a good distance to reach the bar. They jumped off a block and then swung back and forth on the bars. Morgan took to this like a monkey.
Morgan proceeded to jump like this about 15 times in a row and finally her arms started to tire out and she jumped 3 X's in a row and missing the bar each time but was persistent on getting up and trying again. Here is Morgan in action!!!
The Jump
The Swing
She was also very daring tonight on the Rings, I guess you could say she really enjoys the events where you get to swing :)
Her most favorite thing to do each week is play in the pit. They get to do this for about 10 minutes at the end of each class. It is a pit full of foam blocks, and they use the trampolines and then dive into the pit. As you can see Morgan always finds her own way to enter the pit.
Cameron joined us tonight as well and had fun bouncing around on the trampoline track.
