Mini Olympics 2013

Ally’s gymnastics gym had their annual mini Olympics last week. This year Ally’s friend Stella and her sister Violet have been taking classes at the same time as Ally so the girls got to experience it together.

For the  mini Olympics the coaches put out a variety of equipment and mats and each class does a circuit and shows what each girl can do on that piece of equipment at each level. It was interesting to see the different classes and what they learn to do. The first mini Olympics Ally was ever in she was the same age Violet is now, so it was fun to watch and remember Ally at that age.

Ally’s class always goes last, since she is in the most advanced class at her time slot. I love her look of concentration in the picture on the right.

The tumble track is always a blast – jumping and leaping!

After the show the girls get a blue ribbon for participating.

Ally is with her class and just for you Aunt Martha, two of the other girls are named, Hadley and Gemma. The other two have interesting names as well, but Ally and I can’t remember them right now.
