Circus

We took the kids to the Shrine circus this weekend. This was Ryan's third time (thanks to Grandpa) and he was super excited. A funny clown had some fun playing hide & seek with him as soon as we got inside the lobby - he got a kick out of that! We saw acrobats, dancing bears, magic with poodles and most exciting - TIGERS!! At about the 2 hour mark the kids had enough so we left. I was disappointed that there were no elephants! Oh well - maybe next time!!

Sunday morning at the playground

The weather is finally nice - 70's and 80's this weekend. We enjoyed the morning at the playground! Here are some pix.

Ryan is hiding on his sister! :-)
It's more fun climbing UP the slide than going down!

Playing in the dirt

The weather was pretty nice this week (50's and 60's) so we all ventured outside to play in the dirt and rocks - fun for the kids, lots of laundry for mom!

Ryan climbing on the rocks - and yes, the digger behind him was in action

about 100ft from where we were playing.

Da boys

A little dancing..

Here is a video of Ryan, Gavin, Jessica and Isabelle dancing to the Polar Express. Who says it has to be Christmas to listen to this CD!!

Ryan's First Baseball Game

Six weeks of instructional baseball culminated in our little slugger's first game. He had a triple and a double in his debut. Video evidence of the triple is below:

And here are some other pics from the day:

He finally earned his baseball cards!
