Frosty Challenge

Before we had closed on our new house, our kids were signed up for gymnastics. Ha! And actually, they had their first class the day after we closed. It is a homeschool class that meets on Friday afternoons, which is nice because it does not take up an evening.

Last month they advertised they would be doing a "Frosty Challenge". I had missed a couple of practices due to a new baby, and I wasn't exactly sure what all the challenge would entail, but we went ahead and signed the kids up. $25 a pop! Ha!

I had also seen that this past week was Polar Express week and to wear your pajamas to class. I was a little confused with the challenge and pajamas, so we wore our pajamas and we brought extra clothes just to be safe. Ended up they were the only kids in pjs, but they looked so cute and rolled with it! Plus Ally had on her Frozen pajamas, so fitting for the Frosty Challenge. To be honest it is about the only pair of pajamas that is not a princess dress!!

The challenge was more of a time for the kids to show their skills to their parents. We were able to go out on the floor and walk around and watch, which was pretty cool. I loved walking on the floor, so bouncy. If I wouldn't have had Mae on me in the wrap, I may have broke out in a floor exercise, complete with cartwheels and dance moves! Hahaha!

Super proud of these kiddos. They both have improved since starting and they also enjoy it. The gym is first class and we love all of the teachers. Only thing is that it is 30 minutes from the house, which isn't terrible, but just wish it was closer. Below are some pictures of the kids in action.

Here are some videos of the kids.

Below is the group of 6 gymnasts that participated in the challenge. Their class is four times this size, but I guess we were the only ones up for the challenge! ha!

Great job Jase and Allyson!!

So this is Brandon, Ally's friend. Every Friday they see each other and it is the cutest thing. The first hour of class is structured and teacher-led. The last 30 minutes is open gym/free time and the kids love it. They get to run around and do whatever they'd like. For the past month and a half Brandon and Ally run around together for the entire 30 minutes. And sometimes they'll even hold hands. It is really sweet and innocent. On our way to class she'll tell me "I can't wait to see my friend, Brandon."
