Beautiful Weekend

Saturday, Jason and I took the girls to the park since it was so beautiful. We made a day of it and brought a picnic blanket, snacks, lunch and smoothies to drink. The fresh air always seems to make the girls ravenous so we wanted to make sure we had enough for them to eat. We took Sofia's training wheels of her bike for the first time. She was a little hesitant to try riding her bike without them but she did a good job. She didn't spend to much time on her bike though since she was having a lot of fun kicking the soccer ball around and trying to play baseball with Jason.

On Sunday we went to a birthday party for Sofia's friend, Jose Miguel. The party was in a hotel in Nebusice which is now easy to get to since we have a car. Sofia got right into the party when the clown arrived. Ali, on the other hand, separated from the party when the clown arrived. Ali has seen clowns before and actually had even seen one of these clowns in particular but for some reason she was very scared by them. She wouldn't leave my side unless it was to be at Jason's side. After a while, Jason got her warmed up and she joined in on the fun with the clowns. I enjoyed talking with the other mom's there while Jason minded our girls and spoke with the other dads there. The party was fun and the kids were very sad to leave. We decided to continue the fun at home with a game of chutes and ladders.
