Our week with Rocklyn: Country Mouse City Mouse

While we didn't get to spend much time on the farm while Rocklyn was here, Hale had a good time showing Rocklyn all the other ways in which he likes to get dirty. Wednesday evening I had the kids in the little swimming pool and then Hale decided he wanted to play with his tractors in the dirt. This is how it went:

Mom: Hale, don't go in the dirt when you are all wet! You're going to get all muddy and dirty!

Hale: Yes, Mom! I DO go in dirt and I DO get muddy dirty.

Rocklyn: (with look of total sincerity) I don't get dirty!

I realized it was going to take a lot of energy to keep the kids clean, so I just let them have fun.



And true to their words, Hale did get dirty...



and Rocklyn did not.







At the end of the week Hale and I headed to Bellevue and experienced the fun of being "city mice." Rocklyn invited us to her gymnastics class and the kids had a total blast. I wish they could do it together every week.





Hale totally proud of himself.









Next Grandma Gloria took us to watch the Blue Angels practice over Lake Washington. The kids thought it was pretty cool.



We had a lot of fun at Rocklyn's house - especially going down the slide into her pool! This is the kids playing "funny face" in the mirror before bath.
