Cameron liked the dragon ride, but couldn't figure out how to make his dragon go up and down.....he spent the whole ride up in the air -- but had a lot of fun!
Seattle Center had a bunch of these inflatable rides set-up in the center. Cameron loves bouncing and sliding down them. He didn't like the lines that he had to stand in to get on them, though. (Actually, maybe it was me that didn't like the lines!)
We were out at The Center yesterday to watch Megan perform with her gymnastics team. She did a great job again and we had a fun day seeing Mike, Stacy, Megan and Alex. Unfortunately Rena and Maleah were sick so Jeff stayed home with them. Rena was NOT happy when Cameron & I left the house without her -- and she didn't even know where we were going. Luckily Cameron didn't rub it in to much when we got home and we haven't shown her any pictures yet!

The gorilla's were a big hit........and I almost skipped right by them on our way out -- glad I didn't. Maleah has a jungle book that she loves right now and she especially likes the gorilla page. You ask her what a gorilla says and she pounds her chest and says "ouh, ouh, ah, ah".
Cameron is with his friend Sydney here looking at a really BIG snake......I could have done without seeing that one! Here's Maleah and Sara in front of the fish tank. Here are the kids actually all sitting in one place at the same time. It's Rena, Maleah, Cameron, Sara and Sydney. At this moment Rena wasn't real happy to be at the zoo. It was a pretty cold day and Rena didn't like cold hands -- we didn't have gloves with us so we wrapped a hat around her hands!!Saturday, March 10, 2007
It's hard to tell, but Rena was NOT happy to be having her picture taken. I tried everything I could think of to get her to smile and the only thing that ended up working was fruit snacks!! I had to hold a bag of fruit snacks above the camera and then after each smile she got to eat one (that's our Rena -- anything for food!). She also did like the hair thing that the photographer gave her to wear -- she thought she was a princess!

The girls got new bike helmets today and now everyone is protected and ready to ride! We went down to a local hospital that sells the helmets and does free fittings. Cameron already had a good helmet, but the girls needed new ones. Luckily they really like to wear them -- they even wore them this afternoon when they weren't riding their bikes. Now we just have to hope for good enough weather to get outside and use them!!

Cameron & Rena started swim classes on Tuesday. Since Rena is now 3 they can be in the same class and I don't have to get into the water with either of them! They are both doing really good. Rena was a little upset on the first day, but they have a cryer (actually he's a screamer) in their class and I think that upset her. Plus, she didn't know where I was towards the end. She did great today (despite the fact that the screamer is still there) and she's already taking about going back next week!
Surprisingly, Maleah has been happy hanging out with me while Cameron & Rena swim. She is even happy when we are right by the pool and she is buckled in her stroller. I sure hope this attitude continues! :)
