Little Gym Recital

Last Monday Isabelle had her end of the semester Little Gym Recital. The bad news is that Dave and I were having serious technical issues that day. After about 10 minutes of recording our video camera died and then half way through the recital my digital camera died. I can not imagine a bigger nightmare, both of the cameras dying and at a recital.. Urghh! Here is what I did manage to get before the camera died =(

All of the kids make a grand entrance. Once their names are called they run across the carpet and then jump on the spring board over the jump rope and land with a big Ta-Da!

When doing the balance beam they pretend they are going to become butterflies. Iz was squatting down in her cocoon after worming her way onto the beam, and when she arose she was a beautiful butterfly. (Arms in the air flying)

The Little Gym Choo Choo Train, and Mr. Forest helping Isabelle do her "Popsicle arms" on the bars.

She can hold her arms straight for a long time, then jump down, hands in the air and a loud "TA-DA"

As previously mentioned both cameras died so we were not able to get the award any pictures of the award ceremony. It was so sweet, Mrs. Kirstin got up and introduced all of the kids one by one and said something nice about them. When it was Isabelle's turn she said that Isabelle is always willing to try anything that they ask her to, and she is never shy to speak what is on her mind. Finally she does everything with a smile =) Love that girl, I added that not Mrs. Kirstin. Here is Isabelle with her new medal a few days later.
