On this beautiful Veterans Day, I chose to take Evie to the open gymnastic time in Laurel instead of playing outside for what will probably turn out to be the last warm day of the year. Oh well. I made plans to meet our new playmate there, so we were indoors this morning.
The Fairland Sports and Aquatic Complex in Laurel is quite impressive. Auntie Laura clued us in to the open gymnastic time for walkers- 5 years old. Not only is it a great activity for $5, but I also found the Curling Club! I can start preparing for the next Winter Olympics!
Evie had a great time running, throwing, and climbing.

| A little wobble on the dismount. That's a minor deduction |
 |
| A long trampoline, which was just an elevated running surface to Evie. |
Uncle Sam and Cole showed up as well, which was good since Evie and George both have pregnant mommies! Uncle Sam maned
the center for infectious diseases foam pit for us.
 |
| Throwing the foam squares was a super fun activity |
 |
| Thinking about it... not that brave yet |
 |
| Evie just sucked her thumb while in the pit. I'm waiting for ring worm to show up |
Evie lasted about 45 minutes of the hour allotted time for the little tikes. She just motored through the gym with no issues walking/running on all types of mats. I thought the floor exercise mat was neat. I almost starting doing back flips.

It was definitely worth the 30 minute trip to Laurel. We will go back again!

Since they don't know how to jump yet, I told them to dance-
that means bend your knees and shake your rump. |

Looks like a fun day. Early training for the Olympics. Love Pops and Paula
I never would have thought about checking out the gym. Just looked into the gym right next to daycare and they have a program form 1-3 year olds that sounds similar to this. Looking forward to next year for different things to do.
So glad you venture out with Evie...gives me ideas on what I can do with Lukeman!
Looks like fun....you are so good at getting Evie out and about....I'm starting to feel like a boring mom!!! Keep posting - it's giving me ideas!
Jackie- keep in kind that I am home every day with Evie. We both get cranky when we are home too much. I have to get out to keep sane!
There is a place that does open gym in Columbia a few days a week. I haven't been there before but you may want to check out the website - it is called Amelia's and it is on Berger Rd.
Keep us posted on the ringworm. Ick. :)
