Open Gym Play

On Monday after the first day of school (next post I'll write), I took Clara and Emma to free Open Gym playtime Kidville had, and it even included a bouncy house! We plan to go back tomorrow for some kid friendly ziplining, but we'll see :) I'll update you if we decide to.

Almost all of the photos I took were during a video, so there wouldn't be much new. I'll post the videos, and then any of the photos you see here are when I wasn't videoing. But most of the time I was just playing with the kids and having fun! :) Plus my kids were completely spoiled by all of the Lulu time they got when Bryan was away and hoped she'd join us for a little while, and she did! (It's nice having our tots class place so close to my parent's house!)

Trampoline fun (though they call it the "Tumble Track" there):

Climbing around:

More Tumble Track:

Emma can climb up the slides now! (say what!? I know!) Scares me half to death, but still awesome! Keep those motor skills up, baby girl!

Just being cute:

Then they got a chance to play in the bouncy castle! hooray! And Emma was a MUCH bigger fan this time than she was the last time she got in one. The videos I'll post didn't do her justice. She had lots of happy feet going on, and kept playing even after Clara got out!

And then Clara got brave and wanted to attempt rock climbing all by herself:

Proud of herself!

Monkey see, monkey try

I'm proud of her for trying something new without prompting! go girl!

 I helped hold Emma up so she could play on the bars too, but Clara doesn't really need help anymore.

Slide time

Silly girl

 One of Emma's new favorite things is to hold a ball and say "CATCH!" and then throw it at me. Then, when I have it, she holds her hands to her chest and says, "CATCH!" again and starts giggling when the ball softly taps her and rolls to the floor :) It's a pretty stinking adorable game. I've got to get Bryan to film it some time. 

"Catch!!"

A little balance beam action

And that's it for that! The girls had so much fun and were pooped out when we got home. It was pretty much dinner, books, songs, bed.
