So this summer the girls found the hula-hoop. They had played with them at a couple of places and so I finally broke down and bought two for the backyard. Morgan took to it pretty fast, and Elizabeth tried to mimic her sister the best she could. At the beginning of the summer Morgan couldn't do it for too long, but these videos were taken near the end and as you can see Morgan has it mastered. I especially like the comment "Can I stop now?" because she can go on and on and on....
Elizabeth on the other hand isn't as skilled in the art of hula-hooping (or hoop-a-looping). I'm not sure if it's the lack of hips, or she lacks the coordination, but she sure does give it a try. By the end of the summer she took to just shaking her whole body in order to keep the hoop up as long as possible.
Maybe to get us through the winter months I will show them the hula-hoop game on the Wii Fit...that might keep them occupied for a solid 15 minutes!
