My Little Rockstar

Instead of continuing traditional gymnastics lessons this fall, we enrolled Tessa in a tumbling program.  This has turned out to be a great decision because she LOVES it.   

Woo Hoo!!! It's Tumbling Tuesday!!!

This fantastic facility is right by our house which is a plus for me.  A plus for Tessa is that the high school cheerleaders work out here too, including the state championship team.  They are pretty incredible to watch.  Tessa's hour lesson is devoted to floor and trampoline work, her favorite parts of gymnastics.                  

Tessa may or may not be a future cheerleader, that is up to her, but she sure is cute/loud/coordinated enough to be a one if she wants to be.  Go Rock Star!!! 

MARC Family Day

Ryan's work had a family day with food, games, tours and a chance to get beyond the security gates at Michelin.  Since he transferred from the plant next door to the Research and Development Center, I hadn't even seen his office.  After getting something to eat, we took the grand tour.

This picture makes me laugh, Tessa looks like she is about to fire off an e-mail.   

 

The crown is courtesy of the craft center in the princess room.  I think we were the first ones (maybe the only ones) all day to name all of the Disney girls in the contest poster.  Giselle, Melody or Jane may have stumped some Disney novices, but not this family.  Tessa colored and made her crown before we moved on.  Different rooms had different Disney themes.  We raced a remote control Lightning McQueen, rode with Peter Pan in the elevator to the second star on the right, saw a little bit of the Lion King and shot laser guns with Buzz Lightyear.  It was impressive how much effort the employees put into this project!  Here Tessa is just kicking back in Daddy's chair. 

Outside there were bounce houses, slides, rock climbing walls and more.  Tessa climbed right up into this big rig.  Can you see her little face peaking out? 

 She is ready to roll!

Michelin has been very good to Ryan and we enjoyed getting to see where Daddy goes every day.
