Gymnastics, the Zoo and Hopefest…oh My!

We have been very busy.  The kids started gymnastics a few weeks ago.  Landon is in the Dynamites group and Sienna is in the parent/tot group.  Landon loves, loves, loves gymnastics and can’t seem to get enough.  He loves the running, jumping and most of all falling into the foam pit they have.  I have been the one to help Sienna in the parent/tot group and for most part she does well, but the occasional I’m going to run off on you happens.  Both have learned how to do “safety falls”, straddles and pike jumps.  My favorite part while watching Sienna is when they are supposed to jump apart and then together.  She has the words apart, together down pat, but can’t seem to get the brain and the legs to work together.  It is pretty cute to watch it.  She also has pretty much become a pro at somersaults. 
We also attended the Zoo’s member appreciation night.  Both kids loved this event as well.  Landon was able to pet a porcupine and both were able to feed a camel.  Sienna’s highlight was riding on the carousel, multiple times.  I have to admit it made me slightly dizzy, but she wanted to keep on going.  After two times and Landon being super patient while watching us, I decided that was enough of the carousel. 
The kids and I also took in Hopefest last Sunday when it was 91 degrees.  They had fun bouncing on Games To Go equipment, playing games and eating.  Sienna’s favorite thing was riding on the ponies multiple times.  I think she ended up riding them a total of three times.  She is much my more adventurous child.  Both kids had a great time and can’t wait again for next year.
