Whirligig

Lucy had a gymnastics show at the Seattle Center. It was Whirligig weekend again so it was fun for us to go and have the kids play in all the bouncy houses afterwards.

Warming up and getting ready

Hitting the playground for a bit before heading to lunch

We had two wiped out girls on the way home. They both fell asleep in the car in very similar positions

Autumn Leaf Festival

We took a quick one night trip to Leavenworth for the Autumn Leaf Festival. We had a lovely time walking around downtown and partaking the the events.  The kids decorated their bikes and even marched in the kiddie parade.  It was a blast.

Lucy tried out the climbing wall

Kate made it halfway up the stairs before coming back down.

Lucy coming down the slide

This is all I have of Jaydon - his feet jumping - he was too fast.

Bike riding in the parade

Kate waved the whole time, it was pretty cute.

The kids watching the parade

We headed home at bedtime so the kids slept in the car, it worked out pretty well.

Lucy's Gymnastics Performance

Lucy had a gymnastics performance down in Seattle at the Whirligig event at the Seattle Center.  She did such an amazing job, she was nervous going in but she did the whole routine, including saying her name into the microphone in front of the audience.  We were so proud of her and it was a lot of fun, not to mention all the bouncy houses to play in after the event.

Then enjoying the bouncy houses after

 

 Bummer, we can only post videos that are less than 15 seconds so while we have a couple cute ones of her performance we can't post them here.  Sorry, the highlight was her doing a donkey kick (like a handstand but don't go up all the way and over rotating to end up flipping over anyway, she was surprised and just went with it).

Mark turns 1

Mark turned 1 and had an amazing birthday party and a local bouncy house place.  We enjoyed getting to spend time with some friends and bounce to our hearts content, the adults got to take part in everything which made it especially enjoyable. 

Olga and Mark

Kate wanted to try out the cyclone blast, she was content to just be in the cylinder without paying for the air.

Their own version of the Big Balls

Mark was pretty partied out!

Happy 1st Birthday little man.
