I know I'm a little early, but we will be on vacation and I don't want to post to the blog from the hotel.

Eight years of marriage, twelve years together and three children. Our love is strong, our determination even stronger, we are only just beginning...

Brave Bella

It's tradition for our family and friends to have a lamb roast every year around Easter to signify the sacrifice of the lamb. This year, one of the people there had rigged up ropes for climbing and Bella couldn't wait to try. He was a logger by profession so his skills were quite amazing and he was very patient with her as well.
As soon as she was hooked up, we couldn't get her out of the tree!

I think we have a future logger on our hands! She even removed a few branches while she was up there. At one point she had to have been at least 40 feet in the air! I was surprisingly calm with the whole adventure.

Oh, a little side note. Cameron had absolutely NO interest in trying this.

Bikes and Such

Our new favorite activity when ever the weather permits is bike riding. Cameron has just figured out the pedaling thing and loves his Thomas bike.

Logan's vehicle of choice is the rocket..could he be any cuter?

Spring Sun

Finally some weather to be happy about. We took a trip to our favorite park and had a little fun in the temporary sun.

Beach

Us Leonardsons are brave in the cold. We decided to take a trip to the beach and play in the sand even though it was absolutely freezing! All bundled up and trying not to get too wet, we did some digging, ran, splashed, and drove our RC car.

We even got to watch a few ferries and nearby trains.

More "Science Center" fun

Our science center membership is paying off. With all the rainy weather we have been having, it's nice to have somewhere fun indoors to go play. The kids really love the dinosaur exhibit and here they are sharing a footprint.

We got to see a really cool IMAX movie about the ocean. Logan actually wore his glasses, cool!

Bella and Cam loved it of course. Cameron waited patiently until the end of the film to see the shark.
