Blowing Bubbles

We haven't gotten the bubbles out for such a long time- Andrew and Natalia have seemed so uninterested (either that or they would get really excited, then just dump out all their bubble solution as they dipped their wand!) Today, they had a lot of fun blowing bubbles, without even spilling! ... and yes, their coats are in the washing machine now!

Natalia's first day of gymnastics!

After watching Andrew at gymnastics so many times, Natalia is now old enough to participate! She was so excited! She was jumping up and down with a huge smile on her face though out the time she was there. Andrew had been showing her what to practice for the last couple of weeks - like the handstand to the wall (above).

A Family Adventure

Raja has had an itch to go exploring the last week or so; when Martin Luther King Day gave us a day off, we decided to take advantage of it. We drove about 1 1/2 hours away to Idaho City, which is the former capitol of Idaho. On the way back we stop at Lucky Peak, where the kids got to watch a kite fly and play!

On the drive up, after a lot of time on winding roads, Natalia got car sick. So, Andrew donated his undershirt and I, my sweater, so she could have something clean to wear. She thought is was pretty fun to wear our clothes!
