The Gymnast

Sophia had her final gymnastics class (until next fall) last Wednesday.  They finished up the session with an open house for families to see what the students have been learning during class.  All levels and ages of kids were represented.  All the way from the pre-schoolers learning the basics to the teenagers doing floor exercises and bars.  It was a full house with standing room only, but I did manage to snap a few photos of Sophia showing off her moves.

Sophia always ends the night with a time or two on the monkey bars outside before heading home.  She thinks it helps to build up her arm strength for gymnastics…or maybe it’s just a lot of fun.

I missed my opportunity to photograph this Gerbera daisy in the warmth of sunshine that we had earlier in the week.  Instead I photographed it in today’s gloomy, overcast weather.  This pretty little flower was a gift from Sophia for Mother’s Day.  The bloom is almost finished, but I am eagerly awaiting many more blossoms from one of my favorite flowering  plants.
