Gymnastics for Candace

Candace has been asking to do gymnastics for a long time now. After the Olympics, she could hardly contain her excitement. She watched the Women's Team Finals and was inspired. For the past six weeks she's been practicing twice a week and today was the show for the parents. 

Here they are stretching. 

Such a pretty girl.

The uneven bars were her favorite event. 

A video of her on the uneven bars...

Not the best quality, but here she is doing a handstand on the vault. 

Here she is on the balance beam...

They had prepared a presentation for the parents. Here she is watching the other group perform.

And now, here is her turn ...

At the end of each session, they do a series of jumping jacks while spelling out the word, gymnastics. 

Here she is getting her award. We're so proud of her.
