Madeline's Gymnastic's Holiday Showcase

12/19/09
The YMCA held their second annual Holiday Showcase for the kids to demonstrate their talents.
Here is the room in which Madeline takes her classes:

Here she is entering the showcase. This was only the beginning of her wild behavior:

(Side note: a lot of these pictures are dark because of the room and because of my camera. hopefully, you can see enough to get the idea)

Here's Madeline pointing to Mommy and Daddy:

The first thing she did was demonstrate her use of the floor balance beam:

Then she went through that circle thing and then over some other thing :)

They were to go through the obstacle course several times, just like they do in class, but for some reason Madeline was just being too wild. She normally does the obstacle course great during class, so I don't know if it was the audience or what, but Madeline was being "that kid" that day.

This is one of her favorite things to do. She holds on to the bars and puts her feet up on that round thing and then rocks:

Here she is galloping (because she still has a terrible time jumping) down the Trampoline:

Lining up to receive her trophy (she was pretty well behaved from this point on because while the older kids were performing their gymnastics I had to threaten her with leaving without her trophy, which she was beyond excited to get. Between that and the coaches having a talk with her, she straightened up)

Coach Callie giving Madeline her trophy:

Running to show Daddy her trophy:

She just stood there and stared at it for the longest time:

Still examining it:

Still looking it over:

Here she is with her awesome Coach Callie. She was very good with Madeline throughout the classes and I'm looking forward to Madeline having more classes with her:
