My daughter's preschool went on a field trip to a local gym. She had SUCH a good time, and she did really well. They did all kinds of activities from practicing different kinds of jumps on the trampoline, hanging on the monkey bars, and walking on the balance beams. Four different classes went at the same time and cycled through four different stations. At the end they all came together to play with the giant parachute.
Before Edward was born, Elizabeth used to attend The Little Gym every week, and she always had so much fun there. We were so sad when they closed down at the end of 2007.
I took over 200 pictures while we were at the gym today! I had to do a lot of playing with the settings, as it was a tricky place to shoot in. Of course it was indoors with artificial lighting. Some times I couldn't get close enough for the flash to work, so I had to slow down the shutter speed and boost the ISO. Other times the white walls and my daughter's white shirt totally blew out. Fine tuning in Photoshop afterwards took some time, but I'm learning some new techniques from a book I just got, and I ended up with a pretty decent set of shots.
