Active Spring

We have been doing our very best to keep our children as busy as we can. Evan and Nick wanted to both do the exact same thing, or I guess I could say, that Evan wanted to do exactly what Nick was doing. Lizzy wanted nothing to do with what Nick and Evan were doing. All in all, it created for lots of driving all over the place and plenty of games all through the week.

Nick has been looking forward to this soccer season all year long. This has been shown to us with his asking repeatedly for new shoes and soccer jerseys. He has collected quite a few as you have probably seen from our past blogs. Nick had a great season and was the top scorer for the whole league. The only game that he did not score was that last one out of eight games. He had ten shots on goal and hit every car behind the goal, but not the goal itself. Evan just wants to play anything. He told me after one of his last soccer games that he wants to play in every sport ever. He might be successful, I tried as hard as I could to think of a strange sport to ask about. As you can see, Evan has some focus issues but had such a good time in every game.

Liz just wanted to try something different, so she took an indoor climbing class. It was strange to see her going up a 20-30 foot wall but she had a great time. The hand grips were done in a fun way. It was fun. Liz had a really good friend with her.

We also did some extra things since the weather changed from cold, wet and windy to warm, wet, and windy. The spring was beautiful here and it was time to get out. We saw a falconry exhibition. We tried to see if Katy could get picked up by the bird but were unsuccessful. Nick also had to play in a spring concert for band. We were all surprised that his band could play for an entire hour. A whole hour. The band was good for a... whole.... hour.

At the same spring concert, the kids had some fun, too. Bungee trampolines anyone? Here is a spiffy picture of Liz showing off her skills. This is her doing her mission impossible impersonation.
