Lil' Gym Birthday Party

The girls went to The Lil' Gym this weekend to celebrate the 2nd birthday for some of their boy/girl twin friends. I was really excited about taking them because I've been wanting to see how they like gymnastics. They both had a lot of fun, but Emily seemed to be more willing to try new things.One of Abigail's favorite activities was the parachute. They tried to get all the little ones to do all sorts of tricks with it, but it usually ended up with them just shaking it and making big waves.
Seeing Double....The girls are patiently waiting for the next activity. They are sitting by a set of identical twin friends. These girls are about 4 months older than the girls.
Emily enjoyed several of the gymnastics activities. The balance beam was among her favorites. She was pretty good at walking holding Daddy's hand, but the lower beams with the handle bars were lots of fun for them both.
I'd have to say that the rings were Emily's absolute favorite. She would climb up onto a step right behind them, grab on, and swing down. She could this this for long periods of time, but we had to practice taking turns, as there were a lot of little ones there.
