Three Little Climbers

 I'm too tired to make this much of a post tonight but before time slips by -as it always does- I wanted to get these pictures up. We had a super fun day with our three littles. The big kids were doing their own thing so we loaded up the kiddos and headed for Seattle Center. 

There is a fantastic new park near the EMP. Or at least it's new to us. The kids could have climbed all.day.long. The girls are such climbers and seem to have no fear of heights at all. I think Jo's only intimidation was all the other kids. 

Millie is a monkey to the core

Look mom, we're twinning.

This guy on the other hand. He's a little more fearful. Funny how impulsive he can be with some things but when it comes to heights he's pretty cautious. But it only took him a couple tries and he was all over that jungle gym. The girls cheered him on and Amelia would wait for him at that top.

Just a little perspective. I had a few butterflies.

This cracked me up. The story of our lives..."daddy is allergic."

Of course there was shaved ice after all that climbing

And a little bit of playing in the fountain before heading home

This is a perfect picture of their personalities. Z the outgoing, do the opposite of what mom says. Amelia, I want to follow the rules but I'm going to push the boundaries as far as possible. And Josie, the rule following, keep everyone else accountable and hang in the back until someone needs my help.

See what I mean

It was a strange feeling not having the big kids with us. We are realizing that more and more this might be the case. They are usually great sports about doing the family outings but the gap sometimes feels so big and their schedules so packed. But I will keep pushing for the family days all together for as long as possible. Like until they're bringing their kids along.
