While the summer Olympics were going on, Marquel would not miss a session of the gymnastics. She was completely taken in by all of the tumbling, flipping, vaulting, and watching the bars routines. You just couldn't get her away from the T.V. at this time. While watching the USA Girls Gymnastic team compete, Marquel asked if she could take gymnastics. I said yes, and then started looking into tumbling and gymnastic programs. Marquel's two good friends had also seen the gymnastic competition and were talking to their mom about picking up the sport. After a couple of weeks of searching for a place for her to go, I found SUU's gymnastic program. We signed her up, and that is now all that she talks about. Gymnastics are every tuesday and thursday from 6-7. The girls get to work on the balance beam, the bars, floor, and trampoline. They also have to climb a rope and try and touch the bell.

That is so much fun for Marquel. Sounds like you guys have been busy, busy. Congrats on your new car too. :)
That is so great. It's sounds like so much fun. I'm glad she is doing it with friends too.
Can I take Gymnastics too? I couldn't keep my eyes off the tv while they were on either. She looks like she is picking up on it really well. How fun! Hope things are going well for you all! Congrats on your big win too!
That sounds like so much fun. Braxton is in a tumbling class so next time you come down you and Braxton will have to get together and show each other your mad skills.
