Gymnastics Fun!

Today the children took a field trip over to the CMU gymnastics gym. The children first got to watch some of the team members do flips and cool tricks. Afterwards, the children went around to different stations and got to be a gymnast for the day.

 There was an obstacle course each child got to complete multiple times. At the end they were able to kick a ball and a stack of blocks and watch them fall.

 Each child had the opportunity to go down the slide and run back up to the top!

 They swung like monkeys from the bar.

 And jumped on super bouncy trampolines into a foam pit.

Some braved the balance beam

And they finished on the long tumble track trampoline.

The children exercised and gained gross motor abilities during their experience in the gym. Some got to do new skills they have never done before. It was fun for the team members and the kids. The children were exhausted by the time we got back to the CDLL. I hope each child shares their experiences with you tonight. I had a great day sharing a sport I love to do with the kids!
