Hoopla and February Fun

We had a super mild February.  The weather was great for Covenant's Hoopla event.  We didn't make it last year, but this year we went and the kids had a lot of fun.

Annabelle and I went to the pep rally that morning.  Here's a pic of Caden sitting with his class and other Explorers and 1st graders.

 

Annabelle enjoyed watching the cheerleaders. 

 

One of the activities that evening was a zipline.  Annabelle didn't want to do it, but here's a pic of Caden.  

Annabelle and Caden climbing through an inflatable obstacle course.  Annabelle loved this, and went through it over and over again. 

Going down the slide at the end of the obstacle course. 

 

The kids decided to clean out their piggy banks.  Annabelle chose to buy a slack line for the front yard.  Caden used his money to buy a soccer goal.  The first goal we received was missing one part, so they shipped us an entire new one, so we now have two soccer goals in our front yard.  Here's Annabelle walking the slack line. 

 

The night that I took all the money out of their piggy banks, Annabelle said, "I want more money!".  To which I said, "Well, you will have to make more."  That night at bedtime, she decided to make more "money".  I went in to get her the next morning, and I found her piggy bank full of her fake money :).

 

Caden had a long weekend for Presidents Day.  Friday we went to the Science Museum.  A selfie outside.

 

Caden "working" in the construction area that he has loved since he was little.

 

Caden and Annabelle both played in the "Farmers Market" area for a long time.

 

Time for a craft.

 

The kids both chose to kick a soccer ball in the sports analysis area.

 

Caden had his 100th Day of School during February.  Here's a pic of his class; front row: Kaylie Bailey, Annie Pattison, Reagan McKay; back row: Owen Jensen, Henry Buja, Maverick Penley, Mikayla Horner, Levi Webb, Andrew Collins, and Caden.

 

Annabelle had another trip to urgent care this month.  She climbed up on the counter in her bathroom, and she accidentally pulled on the curtain, and the rod fell and bonked her on the head.

 

All bandaged up with a little glue and tape. 

 

Her friend from preschool, Lily, had a tea party birthday a few weeks ago.  A reluctant selfie with Mommy.

 

She decorated a crown and a wand. 

 

The girls lined up.
