Jaime's new toy

Jaime called me one day this summer and said, "Mom! we need to get this Boulder thing for handsprings!"  She tried to describe it to me but I just didn't get why it was better than all the toys we already have.  A couple of weeks later, Amy and Ashlyn were at NorCal Congress (annual gymnastics training) and Amy called and said, "Ashlyn and I saw it! We have to have this Boulder!" So I'm still scratching my head about what the heck this thing was.

But, I figured three women can't all be crazy about the same thing without being onto something good. So they ordered the Boulder... and as soon as it came onto the gym floor the entire rest of the coaching staff fell in love with it too.  In fact, we loved it so much that I immediately ordered a second one in a different size so we wouldn't have to arm-wrestle to see which class gets to use the Boulder each day. 

Pictured above is Miss Gina with Katie B. from our blue class, working on back handsprings. And now you know what a Boulder is!

GO DIABLO!
