Gymnastics

Starting this Fall, Evie participates in gymnastics every week. The first two times a parent is allowed to stay and watch, but after that it's drop-off and pick-up. Thank goodness there's a fabric store in the same street, so Liz and Felix can keep themselves busy.

Of course we forgot to bring a camera those first few times, but yesterday Evie arrived early, and Liz was able to snap a few shots of the little gymnast.
The ever-dorky Evie cheese smile.
Evie shows how quickly she can run.
(gotta work on those sport settings on the camera...)
Evie's teacher is Juf Esther. Juf means miss or teacher in Dutch.
Here she helps Evie perform a somersault.
Besides running and doing somersaults, the children also get to go on a trampoline, horse, climbing rope, balance beam etc. Yesterday they were also working with a jump rope. Evie seems to really enjoy going to gymnastics every week. Maybe it's because she gets to wear all pink? Or because it located in a "real" school? Or maybe just because it's fun and she can let loose a lot of energy! Either way, whatever makes Evie happy, makes us happy. Hopefully she'll continue to enjoy it for a least a few years.
