Ellie has been taking "gym-nak-stiss" for over a year and still loves it. Her favorite is working on the bar and she loathes the "bean". She's also not a fan of the stretches and splits! I don't always get to watch her since her darling sister feels the need to explore, entertain, and climb the bleachers each week. You can only imagine how excited and optimistic I was to take the iPad with us the first week after Christmas. Wow, did it work! Sadie Kate drew, colored, sang songs, and generally stayed out of trouble the entire hour freeing up Momma to watch Ellie. I kid you not when I say she smiled the entire hour. She absolutely loves gym-nak-stiss!

Ellie's least favorite part of gymnastics...the "bean".

| How Sadie Kate likes to spend her hour of gymnastics. |
Ellie and I took Mark and Sadie Kate to their first UA gymnastics meet a few weeks ago and it was a hit! There was enough crowd participation to keep Mark entertained and enough popcorn and Sprite to keep Sadie Kate happy. Ellie, I should add, was quite pleased with the cotton candy. It was fun watching the events with Ellie since she is now familiar with each and they held her attention much more than in previous years.

| Did I mention we went on the coldest night in January? Boy, was it cold, but thank goodness for the Tide Ride! |
oh, yes! We always seemed to pick cold nights, too!
