Handstands Anyone?

While at the park we had to have a handstand contest, of course. This is Dandi and Jessi doing their practice handstands before the big contest.

Stretching out. Loosening up.

Go Sam! Get that leg up there!


Such grace Sara!


Ouch... Hurry up take the picture!

A line up for the camera. The competitors are:
Sam, Jessi, Dandi, Lilli, Tim and Sara

Dandi won every time except for this one. Jessi hung in there just a bit longer. I got three shots of this round as proof. It was a photo finish.

Starting out.

Tim, Lilli and Sara are down, Sam is on the way down.

Tim went back up, but if you look at Jessi just behind him she still has two hands down and her legs almost down. Dandi is already down to one arm and a leg down. Jessi finally triumphs!


They were all doing awesome. It was a lot of fun.

  1. ya, I'm sore. we definitely need to start stretching everyday so that we can actually be flexible enough to smile when we lift our leg up. (and hopefully get it a little higher and straighter).

    and someday i'll be better at handstands than dandi.... someday!

  3. I must admit it...even though it hurts my pride....Jessi did beat one time out of all the MILLIONS of handstand contest we've had. Great job Jess. And yes, we need to get flexible again. It's really pathetic. Cute pics steph.
