We had a GREAT last day! We began at 7 again, ate breakfast and headed off to conditioning for the last time this week. I am sure the kids are THRILLED about that (especially Rachel's abs and Chase's legs ;) ) Then we headed off to the ropes course, which was a FANTASTIC time! Everyone went two times (except Katey because she was afraid of the height). But it was a really fun and challenging time! Then we went to afternoon class and had an excellent day! Katey did a rudi on DM, John worked rudi out and full out on tramp, Chase and Rachel were flipping TONS of doubles on rod floor, and Caitlyn learned a back half on trampoline! It was a great finish to the end of camp! We then went to dinner and back to the gym. Rachel flipped a few more doubles with Tom and Chase worked double pikes on tumble track. John worked some whips and twisting. Caitlyn did her Whip Back Tuck, and Katey worked some more front twisting! We took the evening pretty easy and headed back to the gym only one more time today for one last hoorah. The kids did their last tricks off the tumble track and trampoline before heading back to the canteen to enjoy a free pizza Chase and Rachel won for everyone! The kids find out tonight who of their group wins the TAP award. Those chosen get to come back to camp for $300 off the last week! 

**I have tried to upload Katey's rudi, but for some reason, it is the only video that says "failed" so I am SO SORRY I cannot get that up for everyone to see :'(**

All in all I think we are ready to come home but are going to miss learning and working all the new skills the kids have gained this week. We are excited to come back to good Internet, TV, and all that good stuff (especially hot showers and home cooked meals!!!) We were so lucky to have such a GREAT coach this week. We would not be where we are without Tom!!!!!!!!!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S THURSDAY ALREADY!!! The kids woke up at 7, we ate breakfast and then headed to the tumble gym for morning conditioning with Tom. They did plyometrics (LOTS and LOTS of jumping!) We then went to the tumble gym for a mini work out on Tumble Track and then we headed to the pool for some log challenges! And yes, even I jumped in! It was not the warmest of days, but the pool was EMPTY and we could not resist! Let me tell you all, I was the UNDEFEATED champion of the log (ha, yea right). But it was a blast swimming with everyone. After swimming we headed to the Grill for some burgers and hot dogs. After eating we went to the arts and crafts area and we all tie died t-shirts. After that we all went to the gym and played a game of cards before class. Class was really productive today, we split into two separate groups and the kids got A LOT done today! John, Rachel, and Chase worked spotter double tucks on DM, Katey worked lots of twisting, and Caitlyn did her RO, FF, FF, Whip back tuck on tumble track for the first time today!!! We just finished dinner and are hanging out at the canteen a bit before we head back to the gym! The kids are now shocking each other with Bridget's electric gum. It is QUITE entertaining... Tomorrow morning we do the ropes course! And it is OUR LAST day of practice!! :(

What a GREAT day it has been! The kids are continually impressing me. They are working so hard, they are ALWAYS in the gym and learning so much! We met for breakfast and then did the conditioning again this morning! The kids are getting sore, but they are doing awesome! After conditioning we went to the Tumble Gym for some Double Mini work with Tom. We spent about an hour working on DM. Rachel and Chase worked fulls and double fulls, Caitlyn worked spotter back, barani, John worked into his 1/2 Out Pike and Katey worked on Rudis. After DM Rachel and Chase decided to do some bungee tramp! They flew pretty high! Then we headed to the Pit Gym and had a mini photo shoot :) (sadly minus John- he was on a walk with one of the other tumblers). It was a fun afternoon. We then ate lunch and headed off to afternoon class. Our afternoon was FILLED with doubles by Chase, Rachel, and John. Katey worked more twisting and Caitlyn worked some whips, she took a fall but toughed it out and she's all good now! :) Rachel and Chase did RO, W, F Double Tuck on Tumble Track and then they and John did Double Tucks on Floor with Tom spotting. Tom didn't touch Rachel on the last one she did! As Chase says, we are all going to be BEASTS when they come back home!! So proud!!!! :) We just finished with dinner (Chicken Parmesan) and are chilling in the canteen before we go back to the gym with Tom later in the evening to do the open workout! I hope all the kids are telling you how awesome they are doing! This is just the HALF of how great they are all doing! After a little workout we all decided to take an evening easy! I met Chase, Rachel and Caitlyn in the Barn Gym. We spent the evening Riding the mechanical bull, jumping at the velcro wall and rock climbing. We also made a quick trip to the gas station to get a deck of cards. It was a GREAT evening of relaxing and having fun. John and Katey are making new friends in the cabin and hanging out lots with them.
