Parkour



We recently decided to let the kids try out some classes and Jackson chose Parkour (also called free running). I call it unstructured gymnastics for boys - there is lots of running, jumping, flipping and doing tricks off of things in your environment (like walls). He loves it.
He takes the class at a gymnastics center (Caleb also has preschool there but it's not gymnastics based). They put on a holiday show that Jackson was really excited to participate in eventhough he had only had three classes. The parkour boys were dressed as "lumps of coal" and they did a little obstacle course to show off their tricks. After watching all the perfomance, Hailey wants to do cheerleading and Maggie wants to do gymnastics :)


This is only picture we have of the kids with Santa this year. Hailey was kind of mad that she didn't get to sit on his lap and tell him what she wanted :)
