~ Gymnastics Pro ~

This was a huge trial for Madison. She has always excelled in gymnastics, but for some reason in early June 2010 she started slowly losing her tumbling skills one by one. She started losing her back hand spring tuck first, then slowly others, until she was to the point that she couldn't even do a single back handspring anymore.

I was even nice enough to let Taylor & Madison go and do their own rides together while I kept the 3 younger ones. Anamarie was having a blast!! Brett, not so much. He went on 1 ride with Anamarie, and a train ride with mommy and...
