We had a wonderful time in New Orleans this past weekend! As I gather all the pictures and organize them I will add them to page along with the full story of our events, but I just wanted to go ahead and share this photo of Ada. She has a blast at the "Princess Party"!
Ada has started her gymnastics class. She will take this class every Tuesday till the first week of August. She loved it! I stayed and watched her along with all the other "gym moms" who were quite willing to tell me about all the great things she will learn how to do. She is taking this class from a real gymnasium that trains girls for Nationals and Olympic tryouts so she is learning from the best. Thankfully, her preK-3 class does not involve the strenuous work ethics of the older girls, and is only about having fun and learning the simple steps. I think Ada's favorite part was when she was able to jump into the "pit". This was on the other side of the gym from me so I had a hard time taking pictures but it was quite exciting to watch due to the fact that Ada disappeared below ground. There is the long springy runway they got to run as fast as they could down then jump into the "pit" that was filled with foam. The first little girl ran her heart out then came to abrupt stop at the end and refused to jump, her teacher threw her in, once the little girl climbed out and Ada saw that she was in fact alive, well, Ada thought this thing was great. She took off down the runway and into the deep unknown she went. A few seconds later she was climbing out ready to skip over all her classmates to try it again. Needless to say, she has asked several times about when she will be able to jump into the "pit" again. I'm so glad we got her into this class because I think she really loves it!
