The Little Gym

Melissa was kindly invited to join Kiera for 'bring a friend day' at The Little Gym in Langley. Melissa has joined her once before and LOVED it, so she was very excited to be going again! 

This time a little added treat was that we drove together in Kiera's van. The girls were very thrilled and for the first few minutes they laughed (their phony laughs) together as loud as they could. It was amazing that baby Riley managed to sleep through this racket!

Things settled down (thankfully!) and the two girls sat hand-in-hand...

First at The Little Gym they sit around in a circle with the teacher. The teacher encouraged them to do different things, like a donkey kick or summersault. 

Then they ran (hopped, skipped, jumped) around in a circle.

Next they jumped on this large air-filled trampoline thing.

Then they lined up and continued on to the different gymnastic stations...

Here they followed instructions for each mini circuit style gymnastic course. It is amazing what these little kids can do given the right-sized equipment and instruction... for example I never would have encouraged Melissa to scale the parallel bars, and here she was doing it.

The balance beam...

The high-bar...

Parachute time...

After class we had a nice lunch in Fort Langley and a little walk through the shops. Thanks for nice day Farha & Kiera :)
