Champion Gymnast

David is an awesome gymnast! He can do the splits and make a bridge and smile at the same time. He can walk on the tallest beam, do 15 chin ups on the bar (more than anyone else in his class), do a front flip OVER the bar, and hang from and swing on the high bar then fearlessly jump into the pit. He can do tuck jumps, split jumps and seat drops on the trampoline then come to a quick stop in the blink of an eye. And the obstacle course. Well, that's a breeze. His instructor says, "Watch out with David! If you blink, you will miss him. He is so fast!" David does 3 front rolls, then off to a cartwheel, then up the ladder to hang on the rope. Down the rope, another cartwheel, then swing on a rope and drop into a hole. Fearless. Then a big back sommersault over a large mat, a big twisting jump, then start it all over again. FANTASTIC! Daddy, Mommy, Zachy and Pop Pop watched in amazement at the whole routine, then watched proudly as David accepted his trophy. (Psst....I think he got Mommy's gymnastics gene :) Big smile) Way to go David. Is there an olympic gold medalist in the making???
