Ninja continues

So last week we went to Boston. Lots of awesome stuff including a very cool playground within walking distance of mom's house. C was totally psyched about the new challenge.



The lily pads were fun, but nothing compared to the giant web (which I didn't get as many pictures of since I wanted to actually spot this one).

Perhaps a professional rock climber when she grows up?


Someone's in the kitchen with Michaela...

And they seem to be having a good time :o)

Dog pile

Nothing better than a giant couch and a lazy Saturday morning...

Carpe diem

I go back to work tomorrow. I'm all sorts of torn up about it, but rather then dwelling on tomorrow I decided to take advantage of today. M & I had lunch out with Alex and we did a lot of this:


Good napping habits can wait for another day - today the most important thing was snuggles.

Cruisin

Yesterday Alex and Charlotte went on some errands, with the vague plan to maybe look at some tricycles. Then I get the following text:


Apparently they decided in the store that trikes were for punks, and to move right on up to the two wheeler. Crazy.

They ended up skipping the iron man bike, and selecting a nice pirate themed one instead. After rest we took it out and it was clear that bike was certainly the way to go.


Mind you, this is her very first time out on this bike. All I can say it's a good thing we have jogging strollers.

Most impressive part:
When coming around the path in the park she missed a turn on a downhill and ended up down in a drainage ditch. I put the break on the stroller and ran down after her. Pulled out the bike, and pulled her out. She was definitely crying, but after a minute or two got RIGHT back on the bike and was off again. The girl's incredible.

Here's the movie of the first 100 yards:

Ninjas

So if you haven't seen the video of an ex-gymnast destroying an obstacle course on the TV show "America Ninja Warrior", you need to. It's awesome. Here's the clip:

How is it relevant to this blog you ask? Well apparently C is already in training.

Moving on up

They started transition visits at daycare today. C got to spend a little time in Raccoon house. I found this on their Facebook page - apparently Raccoon house = construction worker school :o)
