Today is the first day in a long time without swimming or a birthday party. The first real thing on our list was gymnastics.

warming up by going backwards

He has always liked hanging in rings - and then he likes the sudden dismount.

Then rolling backwards over the "hot dog," he had a much better landing on his next time through - that was not filmed.

We tried showing him the women's gymnastics final from last Thursday, but he fell asleep. That meant he would be up later, so we went for a bike ride.

It was too dark to play under the bridge, so they settled for the playground.

They did decide to go to the bridge, just to check it out. It was a bit graffitied. I will send in a form to let the city know. At least the graffiti didn't have any bad words that I needed to explain.

I gave him Heidi's bike light so he would have fun shining the path home.
