luke and gymnastics

July 29, 2008

this first video is of luke on the rings.  you’ll notice that he looks over to his right during the event b/c my mom was sitting close by.  she must have gasped or something, she did the gasp thing right as i was pushing luke out of my body, he was crowning.  her gasp made me think i was pushing out an alien for real, or that something went horribly wrong.  i’m not going to let her sit so close anymore due to her inability to control her gasping.

he was only one that did the rings, the other boy was a level 2 and was a bit more advanced than luke and did his specialized routine on the pummel horse.  it takes quite a bit of strength to do the pummel horse, have you ever REALLY looked at gymnasts? they are strong.

the floor routine, he originally asked them if they had any john lennon in their selection (swear to god), they did not, so he settled for lenny kravitz.  close enough.

picture of luke and his big sister, she’s very proud of he.
