Ice Skating and Gymnastics Meet

Alexis started ice skating lessons on Saturday - it was pretty cool how they lined them up against this movable wall and then pushed them so they could learn what it feels like...Alexis loved it...we were a little surprised because some kids were screaming... Alexis is third from the left. Sorry for the not so great cell phone pictures...I didn't want to take the camera and intimidate her. Here she is again along the wall...she has the purple pants on.

The main thing they practiced in this first class was how to get up from being down....she is second from the right.And here she is trying to get up...

And there she is up...she was not quite sure what to do from here but that will come with time...next Saturday, mommy is going to start lessons so someone can take her on the ice for public skate...I am excited about learning again (last time I skated was in high school).

Then on Saturday night we went to a University of Denver gymnastics meet...wow, this was pretty amazing...it was sold out and standing room only. The guest of honor was Nastia Liukin - she had a question/answer session and then watched the meet. Below is a picture of her giving out the awards at the end. Alexis remembered watching her on TV this summer...
