Loudoun Sports Bounce

It was a cold and rainy Tues. so I took the boys to Loundoun Sports Bounce. It's basically a huge room filled with all of those blow-up bouncies and slides that people rent for birthday parties. It was PJ day. All of the kids got in for $5 if they were wearing their PJs. Great deal for an hour and a half of exercise. They had a toddler room for Drew which is where they are below, playing basketball.
This was the only bouncy Drew could go into but he had a lot of fun.



Jack really wanted to play basketball until he found the slide.


He went up and down this one for about a half an hour straight. He was sooooo sweaty when we left.








He then tried the giant slide! See the video below.

Exploring the back yard

We had a beautiful weekend and spent most of it outdoors with the kids. Here Jack is finishing the last of the raking.
Drew loved playing with the balls in the backyard.

Always so happy! And loud!


All the leaves bagged up! And yes that is Drew RUNNING across the backyard. That kid is fast!



Digging for worms





More ball fun.

Countryside

Our new neighborhood is really a great place to live. It has walking trails throughout, a catch and release pond, playgrounds, pools, tennis courts, basketball courts and a clubhouse. The boys and I went for a walk Fri. March 19th and ended up at one of the playgrounds. Bridge to pond
Catch and release pond

Jack throwing rocks into the creek by the playground


Jack didn't feel very well so decided to take a break in the stroller



Drew felt fine and tried out everything



Whee!!!!!!!!!!



I've just come to terms with the fact that Drew is always going to have a scraped up nose


This is why!!!!!! He just has no fear!



Still not feeling well






The snow caused a lot of damage to the trees in our neighborhood. This one got completely uprooted.















Big Apple Circus

We went to the Big Apple Circus on Thurs. Mar. 18th. The Big Apple Circus is a non-profit organization that supports many charities. All of the animals (Dogs and Horses) are rescue animals. We went to the park across the street to wear the kids out before we had to go inside.
Jack checking out the circus from the park.

Drew, Riley and Jack entering the circus. Of course they were
all holding hands the second before I snapped this picture.



Heather and Riley



Me with the boys. Jack thought the band was too loud.


















The kids loved the dog act. They would dance
and the dogs would run between their legs and
over their backs etc. The second the dogs came
out Drew shouted "DAW" and started pointing.
