Heather turned 7!
She had to make her way through the laser beam maze:
Then cross the pit of lava without touching:
And solve math problems to know which squares were safe to step on:
After her 3 trials she uncovered her treasure, a new bike!
Unfortunately, I had a focusing problem with school pictures this year. So Heather and Corinne’s pictures are pretty bad. I couldn’t tell on the camera, so I didn’t find out until I looked at the pictures on the computer later, so no retakes. Lame.

“The World is a Rainbow”
“Love Grows”
“Goodbye”
Heather was losing interest in dance this year, but we got her to stick with it through the end of the year. We had to travel 45 minutes to Chabot Community College for the recital, along with a mandatory dress rehearsal on Memorial Day that lasted hours past her bedtime (so unnecessary for 6-year olds).
Anyway…..
After getting my camera prepped, I left it at home. As the recital was 45 minutes away (did I mention how that annoys me?) there wasn’t any chance of going back for it. So I had to rely on the pictures taken by the studio (which I do appreciate).
Okay, here’s the only thing you may actually care about–a couple of pictures and a video:

“Recital” is probably not the best word, perhaps “exhibition.” Either way, Heather’s gymnastics class showed off their skills this weekend. The pictures aren’t great. It’s tough sitting outside trying to take pictures of things happening inside where there is considerably less light and often times significant backlighting. But, I did what I could. Enjoy.
She was a little nervous to start. She just moved up to this level about a month ago. She went to 2 classes, then was out for the 2 weeks before the performance. So she didn’t know the little opening dance very well and is clearly behind most of the other girls in the level, but once things got going she had a good time.
