A bar in the yard...

It's official people, we now have a bar in the backyard!! No, not THAT kind of bar....a gymnastics type, upper body strength building bar. Thanks to the totally awesome Brian Moon, father of the incredibly sweet Ashton (teammate of Holley's), and husband to the astoundingly wonderful Tanna, Holley will be able to practice her kip and do chin-ups and pull-ups in style. Don't worry, no "flippy things" will be allowed, and the bar is high enough that Allie can't reach it to try to copy Holley. !

While the "men" worked, Holley and Ashton jumped on the tramp and then climbed trees.
Ashton thinking "Holley what in the world is wrong with your mom? Why is she taking all of these pictures of us?"
Holley answers "Oh, you'll get used to it! She's always following us around taking pictures!"

Proof that a gymnast will practice their routines anywhere!! Even hanging from a tree!!
Wonder what two gymnasts sitting in a tree talk about??
I knew there was a reason that I liked this sweet girl!! She's a Red Raider!!! Guns Up!! (notice Holley swinging from the branch)

Scott was in charge of adding the water to the concrete.
The men hard at work
making sure everything is level....

The men congratulating each other on a job well done!!

The finishing touch. Foam to protect the bar when it is not being used.

Meanwhile, in the front the girls continue to climb.

Ashton is used to the camera by now
Thanks Mr. Brian for making the awesome bar!!! It will get hours of use I'm sure!!

Bye Ashton! Thanks for the fun afternoon!!! Come back again soon!!
