The Little Gymnast Strikes Again

In the spring, Dahlia continued going to a gymnastics class every Sunday, where she repeatedly impressed her parents with her athletic ability. She hated the warm-up routines and would often hide in the corner during "socialization" time, but once it was time to use the equipment she was mostly smiles and off and running.

On the balance beam, a perennial favorite:




Swinging like a monkey on the low bar:




Doing the "crab walk" on the uneven parallel bars:




Showing off her skills with some help from her favorite teacher, Craig. In the first picture she's hanging off the high bar, and in the second one she's showing off her strong arms by hanging upside down:



It looks like Dahlia's almost ready for the Olympics!
