Kids Gymnastics and Kids Sports
Gymnastics - An International Sport
National flags hang from the ceiling of a gymnasium in a local town signifying the international and universal appeal of the sport of gymnastics. My kids take gymnastics at this gym, and as I watch the kids tumble, jump, climb and occasionally wave at me through the glass with big, proud smiles, I'm filled with admiration and respect for the sport.

As this school year comes to a close, we race towards summer with a pent up fervor for spending time with family and friends, longer days, time outdoors and simply put, emerging into the light of day. We thirst for summers past at the beach, family cookouts and all of summer's delights.
