Toddler Tumbling

This past Saturday we took Penny to a Toddler Tumbling class in San Anselmo. It was recommended to us by Xenia who had taken Macin the weekend prior. It did not disappoint, nor did Penny's enjoyment.

As soon as we got there she was off and exploring. The large room is filled with mats and trampolines, a foam pit, different levels to climb and jump. Large balls and rings.

Plus a swing that is pulled by ropes that flies the kids up in the air. We weren't ready for that (read: Mom and Dad weren't ready for that) but the trampolines were definitely a hit.

She's got the movement, just needs some air :).

She spent some time in the foam pit, Dada got into the action too:[gallery type="rectangular" ids="5938,5943,5934"]

There was also a big parachute that the kids would sit on and the parents turn it in a circle:

And then the kiddos get underneath and the grown-ups balloon it up in the air:

Penny also claimed it as her own for a bit at the end of class:

Xenia and Macin and Sal arrived for their class a little early so we spent a bit of time with them:

It was such fun morning! Both Gabe and I loved watching Penny have such a good time. And we actually got a bit of exercise following her around :). We will definitely be going back to Toddle Tumbling soon.

One more video… even though it's mostly the back of her, that voice is so precious!:
