On June 22 Mikayla had her last regular gymnastics and we celebrated all she had learned throughout the year with a Victory Day celebration. Each gymnast waited for their coach and then they each got to do a routine with their coach. It is amazing all Mikayla learned this year. Here is a few collages of the day!
The first activity was Vault. The kids do the greeting pose and then run down and do the jump splits onto the mini "vault."
The next activity Mikayla did was bar. She did a monkey swing and also balanced on the bar.
The next activity Mikayla did was balance beam. She had to do a v-sit and then toe-knee touches on the beam as she walked. She has come a long way on the beam and can almost go across it completly independently!
The last activity Mikayla did was a floor routine. She did a somersault and a straddle jump. I love the ending pose...such a true gymnast!
At the end of her routines, she got a trophy, which she thought was the coolest part. Her coach for the year was Miss Moriah-she was so proud of all the accomplishments Mikayla made over the past 9 months. Grandma and Grandpa Schenk came to watch her too.
While we are taking the summer off from weekly gymnastics, Mikayla is enrolled in a few mornings of gymnastics summer camp and we will resume going in the fall. But Mikayla is also going to do soccer this fall!
