Weekend fun

Another fun weekend... We went to the zoo Friday morning. The night before we had quite a wind storm come through, but by the morning, it was beautiful - if not a bit chilly - and the animals were up and moving around. We stopped by the sting-ray exhibit and even got to feed them. Although Rebecca enjoyed watching, she wasn't too sure about actually touching any of them. Maybe next time...






Then on Saturday, we all went to the park (enjoying the "cool" weather while we've got it!) and Rebecca is now riding her bike without training wheels really well! By the time we left, she was riding confidently and was able to start all by herself and ride up some of the hills. Now we just have to work on her stopping without falling over... Here are some pics and a video.

Riding a Bike

After Rebecca's success on her roller blades, she thought it was time to start riding her bike without training wheels. Thankfully I have a husband willing and able to run after her! Although he did say it was my turn next time... She did really good considering this was her first day:

Here are some pics from last weekend with her rollerblades (and Chloe on her scooter). You'll see mom had to get hers off the shelf and dust them off. Although, I think Grandpa Moore is probably the most skilled rollerblader of the family right now. Sad, but true. ;-)

We posted this on Evelyn's blog, but want to make sure you see it.

Springtime fun

Now that I'm (Colette) working a 4x10 schedule (4 days a week, 10 hour days), I have every Friday off. So we're taking advantage of our nice AZ weather (while we've got it) and have gone to the Phoenix Zoo and Desert Botanical Garden the past two Fridays.

Zoo:
This was Evelyn's first official outing that wasn't to the doctor's office, so we tried to get a picture of the girls all together, but Chloe was being 2 that day and didn't really want her picture taken.






Garden:
The garden had the Chihuly exhibit and the butterfly garden on display. The girls LOVED the butterflies, although Chloe wasn't too thrilled when they actually landed on her, but Rebecca couldn't have been happier!








Rebecca playing hockey

We signed Rebecca up for a free 4 week hockey clinic this past month and she loved it! She started out not knowing how to skate and by the end of the 4 weeks she was able to "skate" (a combination of marching and skating), but more importantly, she was able to stand up on the ice after falling down, all by herself. A big accomplishment for her! Here are some pictures:
