Jacob's Mayfest-Cypress Academy

Jacob had Mayfest last month. This is Cypress Academy's version of a recital. The kiddos practice a special routine for about a month before Mayfest that they get to perform for all the parents. This is also a time for the kids to show off all they have learned in gymnastics. Viewing all these photos and videos as I upload them here, I realize how bored Jacob was. In classes he can do all these things no problem. During Mayfest he was really just going through the motions. There wasn't anything challenging to him anymore. Since Mayfest Jacob has been invited to participate in a boys only advanced class. He LOVES it!! He is doing things that actually challenge him now, pommel horse, high bar, rope climbing, rings and lots of trampoline work. His coach told me that they only ask the "studs" to participate in this class.

Rob and I are so proud of him.

The coaches at Cypress Academy really go all out to decorate the gym for this event.

All the kids worked really hard to learn this routine

Jordan was really excited to watch her brother do all of his tricks

Jacob on the balance beam, not one of his favorite things to do

The trampoline, on the other hand, is a definite favorite

This is coach Mike, one of Jacob and Jordan's buddies.

Look at that upper body strength!

Running, bouncing and doing flips is right up his alley

All of the kids who participate in Mayfest get trophies and a cool t-shirt. Jacob has his trophy on his nite stand with his swimming trophy from last year. He is so proud of them.

Working on their ROAR!!!!
