Planes and Bikes

OK finally downloaded some more photos so I thought I should update the blog again!

About 2 weeks ago one of the ladies in our mothers group organised with one of the local flight schools at Norwood airport a chance for the kids to tour some aeroplanes.  Well I can definitely claim these kids as mine - They abolutely loved it - even if it was 300deg out there on the tarmac that day.  I had so much trouble trying to get them out of the planes to give the other kids a chance, but hey I'm glad they liked it!

Lately Lexies being having fun riding her bike down the driveway, unfortunaly she can't quite get up the driveway yet so this afternoon I took the kids down to Bird Park in Walpole and we took the bikes with us.  Lexie was able to ride around without any problems on the basketball court there.

And finally just a shot of Josh at Benny's birthday Party.

Extreme Coaster

Well we finally put all that money that Gran Gran has been giving to Lexie and Josh for birthday's and Christmas' to good use.  We bought Lexie and Josh an "Extreme Coaster"  Its really just a slide with a car but the kids love it.  They had found one at the local indoor play center and loved it so we thought it'd be a good investment.

Both Lex and Josh have had a ball with it and there hasn't been a day so far that I haven't been pestered to go out and play with it (lucky the weathers been OK).

Speaking of weather we had some fun the other afternoon/evening when a tornado went through central Massachusetts.  From what we can tell it came to within a couple of towns of us, but luckily we saw nothing worse than a great thunder and lightning storm with lots of rain.

Lexie is still going great guns at swimming - shs had her last lesson of the term last we and I was told to skip Level 1 (she was in PreSchool level) and go straight to level 2 for her next set of lessons so they start in two weeks time.  I'm amazed at how far she's come in the last 10 weeks.  Here's a video of her swmming across the pool by herself with just the bar bell for support.
