Peak-A-Leak

Last Friday Kahlil and the rest of his daycare friends did a gymnastics demonstration at Peak Elite (or Peak-a-Leak as Kahlil likes to call it), a local gymnasium. Melissa takes them to Peak Elite every week to see Miss Maria where they learn to do all kinds of cool stuff like forward tuck and rolls and how to walk on balance beams. Peak Elite puts on a show every year so parents can see what their kids have been working on. It was very exciting and, of course, made me very proud to see Kahlil up there doing his thing!

Miss Maria put together a little story for Kahlil, Sean, Leo, and Cruz to wow the crowd with their gymnastic skills. The gist of the story was this... four friends are walking in the woods on a narrow path (hence the balance beam) when they hear a monster! They look high (everybody jumps up), low (everybody crouches down), and all around (everybody turns around) for the monster. When they see the monster they stick out their tails (everybody puts one foot in the air behind the other leg) and rise their arms (self explanatory) to scare the monster away. When that doesn't work they jump in the air and say "boo" (big dismount off the balance beam).

It was fantastic. The only person who didn't seem to enjoy it was Langston... during the whole show he was fighting to be out there on the beam with the rest of the boys!
