We didn't have much planned for this weekend (which is always how I like it!), but we did end up finding some fun things to do.
Rheault Farm was having a spring event on Saturday, so we decided to check it out. We didn't get there until within the last hour of it, so I think some of the activities had already started to wind down.
Brynn added to this mural they had going when we first got there.
Then we checked out the beetles, bugs and spiders this guy had. The ones in the jars were alive.
EWW!
Next they planted some bean seeds in these little dirt cups. We thought they could transplant them into the garden once they got going. However, then I set the cups down by the face painting station to take pictures and then by the end had forgotten all about them and ended up leaving them there. Oopsies.
This guy was telling Clara her plant might grow as tall as the one from Jack and the Beanstalk.
We finished off with face panting...
Clara coerced her artist into doing her hand and also her face. She asked for a 'golden wolf' for her face.
Brynn got the Deathly Hallows symbol (from Harry Potter) on her face and this flaming volleyball on her hand.
Clara trying to finagle another one for her hand.
My dad always played basketball with me growing up and it was always so much fun. Brynn wanted a hoop so last year we got her one for Christmas. She always asks me to come out and play with her, but usually then Clara is left out, so she and I team up together. Brynn plays very aggressively and I'm constantly reminding her to remember their age difference. Clara and I try to pass the ball to one another, but Brynn is hard core defense, and we usually just have to walk up to each other and try to place it in each other's hands. Haha. It was such a nice night on Saturday evening, and we were out playing some ball, so I asked Dana to video us.
After yet another game of BB ended in tears from Clara, we reminded Brynn about playing ball together nicely. Next thing I knew, they were 'racing,' and Brynn let Clara win every time. :-)
All winter Brynn begged to go to SkyZone. It never really seemed to work out, until the rainy, gloomy day we had today rendered them restless in the house apparently. Daddy is fighting a cold and was going to try and get some rest in the afternoon, so I thought it seemed like a good day to check it out. We just started out with a half an hour time slot as I thought for sure 30 minutes of straight jumping would wear them right out, but I underestimated them. They were still raring to go at the end of our first half hour, so I went and paid for another half-hour session.
It was so entertaining watching them bouncing and doing flips.
I don't know who this girl is, but she leaned over to Clara while in line and said something to her. It was just cute.
Clara would seem to get lost in the foam blocks. I can't imagine how much child sweat is on those things. Gross.
Brynn had to often rescue Clara and pull her up from the pit.
