Yesterday was Hunts' Annual Exhibition and Picnic Fundraiser. Ember has been asking for the last two months when the picnic was going to be! During the month of August and the beginning of September, all the gymnasts at Hunts earn tickets by doing new tricks, or just by practicing their tricks well. Then at the picnic they can use the tickets they earned to "buy" prizes. Ember ended up with 282 tickets! Then at the picnic there are little games and things that all the children can play to earn more tickets.
First, however, is the exhibition. This is where all the gymnasts, from tots to level 10, perform the routines that they have learned. For parents who don't know much about gymnastics, this is a time to learn about the progression of the skills that are being taught to the gymnasts and how they build upon each other. Ember did so well at doing her tots pad drill. She had her class right before this and she tried very hard to learn the level 1 floor routine, but didn't quite get it all. Next year!
Then it's off to the park for the picnic, games, and prizes. This year we were lucky to have Uncle Josh and Aunt MaKayla there to help with the kids. ***Thanks you two!!*** It would have been pretty crazy without them. Can you imagine me trying to carry 4 plates and a baby?! Ember and Lincoln had so much fun playing the different games.
The night was wrapped up by going to Frogurt and playing some ipet on the PS3. Overall...a successful day! (sorry about some of the poor pictures, I suck at using my camera indoors.)
