The Olympics have been big here this last week. The girls have been watching them every night for about an hour after Molly goes to bed and then the rest on DVR the next day. Gymnastics has really been on the forefront of their little minds lately. Especially since one of the Fab Five is named Kyla AND we're right on the heels of the new American Girl movie McKenna (all about a gymnast from Seattle). So yesterday when dad brought home a real balance beam that he had crafted at work, they were beyond thrilled. Heidi couldn't contain her excitement and spent two hours on it last night.
Here she is "warming up."
Excellent form.
Kyla was disappointed it was higher off the ground AND
that all those flips and stuff are harder than they look.
Even the builder took a turn.
Of course medals were awarded.
Excited to watch the rest.
Go Team USA!

Really cute pictures. I have a picture of Derek on the balance beam he had built for our girls about 4 years ago!
Such a clever and cute idea! Love it! Such fun memories. And ... you have the cutest gymnasts I've seen. :o)
