.spooky meet.

This past summer Gage took a tumbling class through the Peak. When it was over his teacher invited him to join the tumbling team. He was pretty excited at the thought so we signed him up with the intention of seeing how it went and deciding later if he really wanted to join.
Class started after school did and he had class twice a week. His team class on Tuesday nights for an hour and a half and then his trampoline class on Thursdays for an hour. It was pretty busy for us the nights he had class and it became like a second home waiting for him to get done. They had a parents night in October to explain how being on the team worked (basically how much money it would cost) after that we decided that we'd drop him from the team class and just keep doing the trampoline class for fun. It was very expensive with meets and such and we just decided if he wants to do that when he gets a little bit older, we would...but for now with him only being 6 years old we'd just continue doing it for fun.
Since he'd been practicing on the team for about 6 weeks he was eligible to participate at their tumbling meet in October. We decided that would be his crowing finale to all the work he did preparing for the team.
He competed in 3 events: trampoline, tumbling and double mini. He received a score card at the end of the meet and a metal. So proud!

Here is Gage and his coach, Megan Reeder (she's dressed as a spider for the event). She's fabulous, we love her.

The facility is horrible for photos. We did get video of Gage's routines. I uploaded them to you tube so you could see them better. This first video is Gage telling us his routine for the trampoline. I laughed every time he told me all the moves in his routine, sounds pretty complicated if you ask me.
