Little Gym with Avery

Avery has started Little Gym on Saturday mornings. She loves it! From the very first day she's not been shy or afraid and has ran around trying everything.

She looks like a total pro to me! 

She obviously needed a break.

Always a crowd favorite - the balls and bubbles!

So much fun to go through some of the same things with her that we did with Ross. It definitely shows a difference in their personality. She's not afraid of anything and Ross was just the opposite.

Funland

Ross and I went to Funland with some friends and he had such a great time! He loved riding the cars - he really loved riding everything though. :)

Emma and Ross ended up on quite a few rides together. As it turns out Josh is a bit afraid of heights.

 

Back on the car ride but this time the motorcycles. They did the full handlebar lean the whole time.

Caroline and Emily was there with us too. This ride spun in cirlces but you could also spin the middle part and your car with go in even more circles. Makes me sick to even think about attempting to ride it.

Roller coaster fun!

 We decided to have a snack and while doing so they found the water mister.

Much fun! We followed it up with pizza at U.S. Pizza. Can't beat that in the life of a 4 yr old.

 

Brad caught this great video of the kids and if you watch closely around the 20 second mark Ross kisses Josh. I just love it. They are truly good friends. You can also hear them yelling "Boo! Cardinals" to Brad as they spin by him. They did that a lot that day.



Mother's Day with Meme

We had a late get together for Meme for Mother's Day b/c they were on quarentine for a couple of weeks. You'll also note that there is not one picture of Meme - I didn't notice that until today.

Uncle Steve is so good with his niece and nephews!

Avery was all over the place!

Can anyone find Avery? This girl loves to play hide and seek!

Where's Avery?

We did get a picture of Grandad. I think Avery is fond of him.

We had a good visit with everyone! Pizza and playing. You really can't beat that.

Also, if you ever wonder where Ross is - he's always there but the little crazy rarely lets me take his picture anymore.

Swim Lessons

At Grace the juniors and seniors get the option of going to swim lessons in the spring. We definitely signed Ross up. The classes were split into different groups based skill level. Ross was placed in the "please let me just sit on the step" level.

He did get more adventurous as the weeks passed.

Note the "stair sitters" are all boys.

Not the best picture but on the other side of the pool are the most advanced - all girls. There were 2 other groups not pictured and they had both boys and girls.

 

Ms. Karen did so great with the boys. If they weren't relaxed she would sing to them as she tried to get the boys to float on their back. Loved her.

Here Ross thought he was actually putting his face in the water. He popped his head up and was so proud of himself.



The kids all had a great time for the 6 weeks of swim lessons. We need to keep it up.
