A little extra TV lately

There has been a little extra TV watching going on in our home for the past two weeks. We have been having our fill of the "Fulympics" (the Olympics in non-Pumpkin speak!). We have all really enjoyed watching all the athletes and the different sports. Pumpkin's favorites were swimming and gymnastics. We happened to be going to an awesome Olympian Gymnastics Training Gym right after the women started competing on TV. They have an open gym time once a week for those under 5. It is an actual training gym with high bars, vaults, horses, trampolines, foam pits, the springy floor, and more stuff that I can not remember. It was quite an experience. Critter wanted to get in on the action, but was a little too small. I just tried to keep him fairly contained and out of harms way! :) Pumpkin had the greatest time. Every time she would go to do something new, she would stand there and take a deep breath and then lift her arms up. I think she was imitating those she saw perform on TV. She keeps telling people that she went to the "Fulympics". I just love it. I love the fact that I am able to expose my kids to so many neat experiences. They will be able to grow up and learn from all these things. I can not wait to take them back!

A safe place for Critter for a moment....
Until his sister came over! :)
This is her determined look. She was taking swinging VERY seriously. Who knows it might get into the Olympics in a few years! :)
