Harper and Rielee started a 3-day gymnastics camp today in Rainier. Harper was so nervous, even saying she was "terrified". Ava didn't want to do it, but Harper begged her to please come and watch, she had to have her there. Harper did really well, so did Rielee. They worked on somersaults, (Harper struggled some with the backwards one), cartwheels, handstands, the balance beam (Rielee had to do hopping on it, which was difficult, she said),
and the bars (really hard, both said).
They had a long warm up at the start which included a lot of running and stretching. It was a busy 2 hours. When Harper got in the car she said "boy, I'm gonna sleep good tonight!"
Ava told me after the camp that she might want to try it, too, sometime. So when Harper started practicing her handstands and somersaults when we got home, I suggested Ava might practice a little, too. But she changed her mind and said she'd stay with soccer or maybe a dance class.
She put on her dance outfit and some music and did some major dancing.
