Tiny Tots Gymnastics

Claire had gynastics class on Monday, and absolutely loved it. She didn't want to participate in the game the teacher was trying to play, but had so much fun running around on the bouncy floor, climbing foam objects, doing obstacle courses and bouncing on the trampoline with the other girls. She ran and climbed for 50 minutes straight and was so tired when we got home she was asking to go to bed! Here are a few pics!

The Beach

We had a great week at the beach last week. We traveled to Kiawah Island, South Carolina about 20 miles south of Charleston. We spent much time walking the beach, exploring the beautiful natural island and enjoying all the resort offered for kiddos and families. Our condo was oceanfront on the 3rd floor, so we had a great view over the dunes and could hear the crashing waves round the clock. Most mornings were spent on the beach, then we came in for lunch and Claire's nap. The afternoons were our time to explore the island. There was a great pool, a nature center with live animals and a children's play room, a park and playground, etc. One evening there was a carnival for the resort families and Claire rode the train twice, jumped (okay sat while the big kids jumped), and danced to the live music. We had a wonderful week and discovered what a beach baby Claire is. She loved to run on the beach, splash in the ocean and puddles left from the tide. She learned lots of new words including alligator and beach! Here is a combo video of the waves and Claire, both taken on our balcony. Here are a couple of my favorite pics from the week!
