Backyard fun

So, this stuff actually happened a while back (2/17) but it could have been just today because we have nice weather most of the time. Anyway... it's actually not very often that the kids will go outside and play. I have to send them out and even then they have a hard time staying out there unless I go with them, especially Kemiah. So I take some pictures of them doing all their tricks and we pick rocks out of the yard, to help make it a little more kid friendly. We need the rocks out the main gate so that it won't be so muddy when it rains. I just thought you'd like to see my kids playing. If you don't, then go to someone else's blog. ;-)

Here's Xiomara before she got brave - she had to get used to it.

Here she is going all out - and she really liked it. "See my trick, mommy!?"

Here's Benjamin climbing on the free bars. We were supposed to get supports but it hasn't happened yet so if they aren't careful the bars will slide apart.

This is one of his favorite tricks. Of course, right after he did it I heard him say, "You can climb up there but don't do my trick." I don't think anyone listened to him.

Here comes Marissa, ready to do Ben's trick.

Next was Emily, a little nervous but she made it.

Xiomara was very unstable. I helped her get this far and then made her stop so I could take the picture and then helped her go the rest of the way. I couldn't get a shot of her hanging though, it didn't last long enough.

This is one of her favorite things to do. But if I'm inside she'll go out for a little while and then come back inside to be with me but she loves to wear her shoes.
