Little Gym Halloween Party

On of our new favorite Halloween traditions is to go to the Little Gym Halloween party!! It's always a fun time getting to see everyone in costume playing! This year we went to 2 of the parties! We went to the first party, which was for the younger kids, so Violet and Ella could get down and play in the gym for the first time! Then we went to the second party, for kids Lily's age, so she had some of her friends to play with!


The girls had so much fun exploring! We had to let Lily just wander herself, because Ella and Violet were both taking off in either direction, splitting Sean and I up. Lily found her own fun though playing with the teachers and her friend Emma who was also at this party! The girls loved the gym though! I can't wait to play with them every week at the gym!

They loved playing with the shakers! Ella was all smiles and laughing when we were playing with those!







Lily made a new friend!


Getting a ride on the parachute:



Lily was a big show off because she was one of the oldest kids there! She showed Mr. Jake that she could walk on the beam without anyone holding her hand! Miss. Lori was so proud to see how she has grown!


Violet checked out the low bars while Ella tried to escape!


Ella checking out the bars, trying to copy big sister Lily:


Violet was a hoot this whole party! We've discovered that she has a "thing" for males. She just seems to be drawn to them. And this party was no exception! She spent a lot of it crawling into random mens laps, hanging out for a bit with them, then crawling off to find a new lap to sit in! She only does this with men though. Very strange girl!



Ella was showing off her brand brand new steps all party! She kept getting up, and taking 2-3 steps, then falling! All of the teacher at the gym, who have been watching the girls grow up this year, were amazed and excited for her!




Ella actually threw this ball! She's gotten really good at throwing already!


Meanwhile, Lily was playing catch with Mr. Jake!


The girls found Mr. Brad on the floor, and made themselves at home! Violet spent most of the rest of the party in his lap!


Though she also checked out Mr. Jake's lap too!


Ella thinking about climbing the stairs:


Violet, our climber, racing up the stairs, showing her sister how it's done:



Lily showed the girls the big cheese and doughnut hole:


Dancing with Daddy:

Ella showing off her steps to Miss. Tanya:



Violet dancing with Mr. Brad! She made his day I think!


Onto party #2!


Isaiah Jumping!
Daddy was Lily's ear keeper! This party got a little wild with all the kids running around (and it didn't help that Mr. Jake started a huge chase around the gum!) so we kept the girls at arms reach for this party, so safety!


Isaiah, Lily and Charlotte, getting ready to jump:


Lily started "helping" her friends off the block! "Here, let me Help you Charlotte!" :


Big jump Lily!!! (Notice she's jumping with her feet together, and she lands on her feet! Very exciting!!):


Ring around the rosie with Miss. Erin (Who Lily now calls Miss. Tinkerbell ever since this party!)


Basket hangs with Miss. Tanya:

Doing a flip on the bar with Miss. Lori's help (Have I mentioned we miss her terribly yet?!?!?)




Getting Stampers from Mr. Jake:

The parties were a big hit with all the girls! It was get for Lily to just get some free play in the gym again, and for the girls to explore it for the first time! I can not wait for next semester, when it will be their turn to start classes!! I know they will have a blast after seeing them at this party!
