We had more visitors this weekend while Bryan was at his baseball clinic in Portland. Alisa, Ben and Kaitlyn came out for an overnight. Kaitlyn is a month-ish older than Shannon and it was fun to see them together again.
We went to the park and the girls got a ride in the wagon.
Mitch rode his new bike there and he's getting really good! It is a balance bike, which lacks pedals. The idea is that the rider develops his balance and will then be able to skip training wheels and move straight to a regular bike. Plus, crashes are less likely since his feet are the power, a la Fred Flinstone.
MBJ soaked up the attention of Ben and Alisa. Ben pushed him in the swings and Alisa was kind enough to do art with him. The glitter glue was a major hit!
Thanks for coming, Waibels!
As a side note, Shannon has now officially learned the word "no". It was blissful before now - why did I not appreciate it more? She LOVES to say no, repeatedly, and seems to relish a negative response to each "yes" I give. Lovely.
Looks like a good time, glad you had company while the husband, father was away doing valuable baseball stuff! Mitch is pretty good on that bike and nothing like a Red Ryder to move around in. Love, Grandpa J and Grandma J, too.
