Last week Ainsley participated in a gymnastics and cheer camp. She loved spending the whole week (8am - 5pm every day!) doing gymnastics, practicing jumps, and learning a cheer routine. She also made lots of friends with the 'big girls'. On the last day the parents were invited to come watch their routine. They also each got to show off some of the skills they learned. Ainsley did three very perfect forward rolls. She's still working on her cartwheel.  Here is the video of the routine. She got to be one of the girls on top of the pyramid (although she was too scared to fall backwards for them to catch her). She's excited to take up gymnastics again later this year! (she's in the back left wearing a pink and blue leotard)

Last weekend Nana and Papa came for a quick visit before the start of various summer vacations. We hadn't been strawberry picking yet so, even though we knew it was the end of the season, we found a small local farm that still had some berries available. The kids had a great time collecting berries, and they got a trip on the tractor hay ride. After the farm we headed to the Virginia Aviation Museum nearby. The kids had a great time learning about airplanes with Papa, a former pilot.

For your viewing pleasure, here's a little photo show of Ainsley's year in kindergarten. So hard to believe she's going in to 1st Grade!!!
