The Climb

This is Abby and Lauren's first year on the gymnastics team.  They were selected this spring to work towards competitive gymnastics.  They start on level one, and each spring they're evaluated, and move up accordingly.  Competition doesn't begin until level three (whew!), and while it is obvious that they are no where near competing, it's amazing what they can already do after just over a year in gymnastics.

For some reason the parent gallery always seems to be amazed when they climb the rope.  Tonight I snapped a picture of each of the girls working to make their way to the top.  Below the action shots are their individual pictures from this season.
