Jenna's Gymnastics

I'm embarrassed to admit how long it's taken me to finally sit down and figure out how to upload a video clip to my blog. I decided that tonight I would figure it out no matter how long it took. It took literally less than 30 seconds to figure out. I can't believe it! It's been on my to do list for months now. Anyway, now that I have finally figured it out, I'll probably be posting a bunch of videos I've been saving up to put on this blog.

The first ones will be from Jenna's gymnastic routine tonight. She started practicing gymnastics on her own in second grade. We had her in a community rec class for a few months, but I didn't like how the teachers failed to teach the kids how to fall or be safe. It seemed like she was falling and getting hurt at every practice. I pulled her out after one session. But even after a year or two without classes, she was still interested in gymnastics so we decided to try The Little Gym in January. She'd gone there when she was 4 and I remembered that they focused on safety. She's had a great time and her two friends from our neighborhood signed up with her. Here are her routines:


(Please ignore the screaming 6 year old in the back ground. She was a little nervous about doing her beam routine.)







It may have only taken a few seconds for me to figure out how to post these, but it's taking nearly an hour to upload them to blogger. Any suggestions from those of you out there who have more experience in the blogging world? I just transferred them from my camera to my computer and then clicked the little video link button and selected the video from the "my pictures" folder. Thanks!

Good job Jenna!

My videos take forever to upload onto Blogger. I am not sure how to make that faster, therefore, not many videos on my blog!
