Gymnastics Class

We had an exciting gymnastics day ... Banty was still in town from Mommy's bday weekend ... and Daddy's just happened to get to come home from work really early ... There electricity went out in there building and they got the day off ... (totally random, but we'll take it) So Ellie got to take Banty and Daddy to gym class !!! And this time Mommy got to take pictures !
We were so glad Daddy finally got to go and be a part of class ... He's been wanting to go every since she started ... but we go on Tuesday mornings.... (and no... I didn't blog that fast, this was last week ...)
She just zooms right down that balance beam ...
Flipping over the bar with Miss Cindy ...

Playing with the balls .... They get to do this every week and Ellie always runs to make sure she gets the purple ones ....
So glad you were able to come and be a part of gym class Banty !!
Daddy helping Ellie pop bubbles with her feet ... Every week they use a different body part to pop the bubbles ...
But Ellie's favorite is still popping the bubbles on her tummy ...
