Life Escalated

A couple of weeks ago, we went to the Extreme Air Sports place for playgroup.  It was a really fun place. They have a bunch of trampolines and foam pits. They have a kid’s area for the under 6 crowd that just has a trampoline that you can jump off of into a foam pit. Zoe spent the whole hour and half climbing onto the trampoline, jumping into the foam, climbing out of the foam, and climbing back onto the trampoline.  She was in heaven.

Here are quite a few pictures (remember you can click on one and click through them to see them bigger.)

This week, Zoe had her very first dance recital.  She has loved dance this year and was so excited for the recital.  I was a little nervous that she wouldn’t dance at all because she is very easily distracted.  She did great though.  They were so cute.

A few disclaimers about this video.  This is from the dress rehearsal, not the actual recital.  She did much better at the actual recital and it was way cuter, but I don’t have video of it yet.  Also, I took this video.   You will be able to easily see why Kirk is the videographer of the family.  I get caught up in watching the dancers and forget that I am even holding the camera.  You can still get some idea of the cuteness though.

Zoe’s favorite part of the recital was wearing her costume and getting to wear makeup.  She looked so grown up.  It was a little sad for me.

I am so proud of my little girl.  She learned a lot in dance this year and has grown up so much.

Last week, Robby had a piano recital.  He is getting really good.  He has had his recital piece picked out and memorized for a couple of months now.  A week before the recital, he got a new song and fell in love with it.  He practiced it so hard in hopes he could get it memorized and play it in the recital.  He ended up getting it down and so he was able to play it.  I am so proud of him for working so hard.

The first song is the one he has had prepared for a couple of months. The second one is his new song.

Last week, we had great weather, so we went to a beautiful park for playgroup.  It had the most gorgeous tulips.  I had to take some pictures.
