Eden and Niamh have been so excited to join an Athletics club since Niamh stopped her gymnastics. I waited until we got back from SA until they started so they could start with no interruptions.
Eden was so pleased to see a girl she knows from Brownies there.
So Eden and Niamh joined her group. The coach said they have started on a very tough session day, so I wondered how Eden might cope because running normally tires her out quicker than Niamh. They had to do a circuit of many different activities, each station had a different exercise varying from squats to shuttle runs to star jumps, there were about 10 stations. The coach whistled after a couple of minutes and they had to move to the next station. They kept this up for about 45mins, with a few rests in between, and the last 15 minutes was a relay race that they had to continue to run until the time was up, I could see how tiring this was as it just seemed to go on and on. I really thought Eden would come out and say never again as she was sitting on the floor at every chance, but when they came out they were both so excited and have been looking forward to the next session.
On Saturday we headed of to the park down the road - we don't often go to this park, because it is smaller than Bushy, but it was great for doing some tricks on the bikes down hills and up ramps.
Ciara hitching a ride on Ayla's pram.
So gorgeous to see new life unfolding, spring is so lovely.
And then we headed off for tea at the walled gardens. Eden was so chuffed to get her favourite cake - lemon drizzle cake - this is a recipe I must look for and bake.
