Gymnastics

Today we had our first KinderGym gymnastics class at the Menlo Park Rec. It's a 'parent participation' class to run around on the foam blocks and trampolines with the babies, play with balls and hoops in the attached gym and tumble on the equipment in the gymnastics equipment. Francie loved it! She was squirming out of my arms from the upstairs area to get down on all the mats and took off running. She calls it "nast-as" and talked about bouncing on the trampoline and saying bye-bye to the "chute" all day... she has been entertaining us with all her new words and phrases, this morning Ollie was barking at a squirrel or something outside and she busts out with "NO BA-KING OW-WA!" We went to lunch with Dad at Jeffrey's after class and then spent some time re-organizing at the office before heading home to watch Landry's TV debut on "The Doctors"!

Francie didn't have any fun on the trampoline ;)

Daddy surprised us and walked over from work to join in on the fun!

Estelle is in the class with us too!

"What do I do with this hoop thing?"

Just pose for Mom Francie ;)

She looks like such a big girl in her "ninja outfit" as Dad called it (she had lots of pink accessories to go with it but we had to lose the Uggs, Jaknit sweater and bow to play)

and Dad helped Francie try to learn to throw a ball

Francie's friend Jasmine and her mom Parvin are in the class too

Parachute time!

Dad saves the Doo who didn't want to get off the parachute for the next activity

Francie stood completely still the whole time we were under the parachute singing wheels on the bus...

I think she is in shock.

"The wipers on the bus go swish-swish-swish" ;)

Anatomy of a somersault

Lifting a medicine ball that weigns half as much as she does

A perfect 10!

The Heffs all had fun at gymnastics class :)

"When are we coming back!?!"
