Tiny Tots Sports Class

September was probably our busiest month this year.  On top of Aurora playing soccer, school being back in session, and the craziness of everyday life, we signed the girls up to participate in a Tiny Tots Sports Class.  Aurora did the class a couple years ago but Savannah is old enough now that they got to do it together this time.  The class was twice a week through the whole month of September.  The first day we went to class we were happy and excited to see Savannah's friend Kaia was in the class also so I got to catch up with my friend, Alycia, which was great!
It's always nice for all of us when they can participate in activities together.

He's such a great baby!  He was always so good to just sit and watch the girls.

Hop scotch!

Savannah struggled with hop scotch to start with, but then the instructor had her do "star-pencil" like they would do for their warm-up jumping-jacks and she got it in a snap!

The highlight for all the kids was at the end of each class when they got to do the parachute.  The girls loved this part!

At each class they got to try out a variety of sports and work on building their sports skills.

I was glad they got to be partners for this activity.  Most of the time they were in separate groups.

Rori likes to be first in line almost all the time. Maybe it's a first child thing?

Love these cute kiddos!
**Little side note: I thought it was really cute that Savy wanted to wear her cheetah pants to the last class because they help her run super fast! ;)  Cutie.**

It really was so fun for them to do the sports class together--and with Kaia.  It's so much fun to watch them growing up and learning new things!
