Every year, the Oregon Gymnastics Academy puts on their June Jubilee, where family and friends are able to come and see the kids perform a short routine, as well as their beam, bar, and trampoline skills.  Franny did a really good job, especially considering the large number of kids and viewing guests present.  I was really proud of her—I could tell she was very nervous, but she did everything she needed to do and did it with exceptional poise.  During her weekly class, I only have the opportunity to see her gymnastics in very small bits and pieces, since I am with Cole in his class at the same time.  Needless to say, it was really fun for me to see her, as well as fun for her to have me watch.  At the end, the had a very small award ceremony where all the participants receive a certificate and trophy.  It’s really nice for the kids to have a chance to showcase their skills and be rewarded for their hard work.  Once Kindergarten starts this Fall, it will interesting to see how we fit in the various activities that she has always been involved in.  I do hope that this is one that she chooses to continue—not only does she really enjoy it, but she is really good at it, too!
