The 2013/2014 Sacramento winter has been like spring instead of winter and we have been enjoying every minute of it! The winter rains came this past week, but we were able to sneak in a visit to the playground before they hit. Our kids are all monkey bar aficionados and, as a result, have tremendous upper body strength. They have now transferred their monkey bar skills over to climbing poles. None of them can pass by a pole without wanting to climb up it!
Here, Natalie and Amanda race to the top of the swing climber!
Once you race up, you slide back down and start all over again.
There is the occasional stop to hang from the very top beam. Wow, this is high!
Next is Will's turn at the balance bar. He loves to hang upside down and turn flips all around.
Once you spin, you can hang on for a very long time.
Natalie poses as she climbs for the top.
Natalie then heads over to the high balance bar and begins to swing wildly back and forth. Although she appears that she will fly off in an instant, she is very coordinated and able to hold on very well.
Natalie takes a quick break to show off the results of her climb.
Will shows us he can do everything his big sisters can do!
Right before we leave, we try riding around the kids playground. Here, Will demonstrates how to ride a two wheel scooter that lights up as you increase your speed!
Last week we showed videos of the girls 1st ride. Here are a few stills of them practicing for the big ride.
Amanda in deep concentration.
Natalie is just plain happy!
