Our Attempt at a Group Photo....

Things seem to be going pretty good. 3 standing kids all side by side, 3 smiles.... what could go wrong?

Hmmmmm I don't know maybe Clementine falling?

Wagon Train

After Ben quit they sat there for a minute wondering what they were going to do. A light bulb went off in Kyren's head......

"O.k. Charleigh, just pull on the handle right there and I will sit in the wagon."

She gives it a try.....

She pulled and pulled and it moved about a foot. She was grunting and breathing heavy like she was going to explode. Then she climbed back in with Kyren and waited for me to pull them one more time.

Kyren had me pull for a while and when I was exhausted we asked Ben. It was FREEZING! It was miserable out but Kyren and Charleigh were not phased, they wanted to keep playing outside.

After the jump on the hill,

Going fast, I wish I could have gotten a better picture of the kids faces.

This is where Ben said he was done, Kyren is looking at me with his sweet pretty please face and asking me to pull again, I did one more time and I was done.

Kyren is wishinf he didn't give Charleigh the noodle, and really wishing he hadn't taught her how to whack hime with it.

When he went down hill he would run, and then the wagon would jump over the very bottom steep hill. GOOD TIMES!

Charleigh and Kyren went outside to play and when I went to check on them I couldn't find them. I found them in the backyard and Kyren was pulling Charleigh all over, he is such a lil' sweetie.

Up hill and all! Kyren even gave Charleigh a fun noodle and instructed her on how to hit him with it. Charleigh wondered what she did to get do lucky!

MAN DOWN!

The petting zoo...

We met Melissa and Grace at the zoo one weekend in March. Melissa is the girl who sat next to me in xray school and who had Grace a couple weeks after I had Charleigh. Charleigh was sick so I debated on if we should even go or not but we did an although she wasn't her usual self she had fun visitig with Grace. When we would see a new animal, Grace would want them to sit down, so when we saw the goats she was in heaven. Many of the goats were already laying down so Grace used them as her personal seat. Charleigh saw her and of course she did the same thing. It was so funny how the girls sitting on them didn't even phase the goats, they just went about their business and let the girls relax like they do it for all of the visitors.

Dumbo

When they were meeting for the first time that day. They had to check one another out and be sure that they wanted to play with each other.

The elephants were one of both girls' favorites. Grace was a bit aggravated that the elephant would not sit on her command. She just kept saying SIT! SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT!! Surprisingly he never sat.

Giving hugs in front of the giraffe's

Watching the hippos.

Look out! Grace was such a good girl and let Charleigh drive the entire time.
