Elyse's pre-Olympic debut

Elyse's gymnastics class had a "sports festival" this week where the students showed off all of the skills they have been working on.  Elyse absolutely loves gymnastics.  I think she has a great build for it....not too thin...strong legs....big smile. 

Here she is walking backwards on the balance beam.

The uneven bars are fun........

They had an awards ceremony, with pedastals and music playing. It was pretty fun and she received a new teddy gymnastics bear along with her medal. I can see them having lots of fun together!

The coach invited Elyse to come to the "Rising Stars" class for 3 and 4 year olds.  It's an "invite-only" class.  Wow!  The only problem is that it's at night, right when everything else seems to be happening.  So, sorry Elyse, you may have to wait a little bit before you enter the elite world of gymnastics!
