Emma Kate had fun helping Savannah celebrate her 5th birthday at Monkey Joe’s today. The kids had fun bouncing and sliding; what could be better than lots of jumping followed by cake?! Happy birthday to Savannah!

Emma Kate completed her spring semester of gymnastics today. After doing some bar work, the girls received their medals for working so hard this semester. Emma has been working to master her cartwheel; and last week, she even did a handstand into a flip-over back bend!
