Skating and Gymnastics

Last week the weather was really nice all week so we took advantage and went skating. I took Ivy once when the older two were at school and we went two more times after dinner. Going that often was just what Ivy needed! She figured it out and is coming along nicely on her skating skills! One night there was a hockey game going on in the big rink so we skated on the small rink and we were basically the only ones there! Chris and the kids played a little hockey and we just skated around. It's nice to have this rink less than 2 miles from our house. Makes for an easy, quick activity in the evenings!

Last Saturday Mya had her first gymnastics competition of the season. She was pretty nervous and excited about the whole thing. She competed at JO level 2 (I'm just figuring out what all of this gymnastics lingo means so if you don't know...you're not alone!) and did the beam, bars, vault and floor. She has been enjoying gymnastics a lot and did really well! It's a little like swimming in that she competed for less than 2 minutes total, but we were there for 5 hours:) Chris took Max and Ivy to swimming so he watched it on video afterwards. We are very proud of her and are excited to learn more about this sport along with her! Next competition is in early March.
