play and more play

 sunday afternoon my friend and i took the older kids to a love production of the lion, witch and wardrobe.  it was the first time the older kids watched live theater.  it was a good performance, i was impressed with their adaptation. 

 monday was a surprise visit to hop, skip, jump.  i was able to get nate on the climbing wall for 5.00 for an hr, so i threw in a day pass for the girls as well and we spent 4.5 hrs there.  we have no plans for march break so i figure this can be a part of it.  i followed joey around for a while but mostly spend my time sitting, drinking coffee and talking to the other mom's.  so thankful for the great group of mom's that i can hang with

 found these two on the course

 she is getting so big

 nate did the climbs

 so. the highlight of the day for all of us was this.  ellie was able to climb the walls as well!  some one didnt show up and amanda offered her the spot for free.  ellie was by far the youngest climber and she KICKED their butts!  she is so much like my sister.  she set the goal in my mind, to climb all the walls and touch the button at top.  and she did.  she refused to quit until she did it

 and i found joey like this! 

 she out climbed all the kids.

 i was so proud of her.  she is the athletic one for sure

 and she did every wall!

 listening to the instructions. 

 the last wall

it was a great day.
