Cruisin’ the Hood

What is Marin’s favorite activity this spring??  RIDING ‘BIKES’!  She cruises around our cul-de-sac like she owns it!  With her horn a-beepin’ and her basket filled with rocks, grass, sidewalk chalk and any other ‘treasure’ she finds, she thinks ‘biking’ is the bee’s knees!

Giddy UP!

A young gal in our neighborhood is a horse trainer and she offered to take Marin and her boyfriend, Oliver for a ride.  So, we took her up on the opportunity and the kids had a ball.

And then he settled in just fine!  Whew.

Marin was keeping a watchful eye on her boyfriend waiting patiently for her turn.

Our little cowgirl enjoyed her ride, but was very serious.

She talked about Esperanza and her ‘fast ride’ for a week!

Sesame Street Live

Most kids love Elmo, but after seeing the live show, Marin came out favoring Grover!  The title of this show was "Elmo’s Heathly Heros” and the monsters pretended to be superheros.  After the show, we asked Marin what she liked about the show and she said, “Grover lost his super-ness and that was very sad.”

Dancing vegetables, singing monsters and a flying Grover made for a morning filled with lots of super-ness!
