Jack and Jill Went Up the Hill.....

or..... Evie, Evan and friends went up the "mountain" as the kids called it.
What a full day! Today after Evan's little friend, Olivia's birthday party, (which was a blast, thanks, Jen for inviting us!), I took my kiddos to Evie's new school and got her registered for Kindegarten.. I know.. I know.. Kindegarten. *sigh*
Then we got our naps and got refreshed and went back out to enjoy the wonderful, sunny 80 degree weather! Can you believe this?! 82 degrees... in AUGUST! It's been an amazing summer.. Anyway.. we met Hope and kids at the local children's zoo and after that we walked over to the big grassy "mountain" so that the big kids, (Evie and John Michael) could climb up it.

Aaron and Evan were content at first, to play at the bottom of the hill with the stroller.






Then Aaron had to get in on the action bolting up the hill.. Hope, of course had to go up.. Here's Evie coming down the hill with them..


So... before I knew it, Evan was crawling as fast as his little body would allow up this huge "mountain".


As long as he was crawling straightforward things went smoothly. once in a while he would try to sit up and one time he started rolling backwards down the hill.. he quickly grabbed the grass and hiked himself back up with a slightly panicked look on his face.. and then he trekked back up like nothing had ever happened.
Almost to the top...



And at the very top.. see how tiny our stroller at the bottom looks? He made it up completly by himself and looked very proud.



I had to help him down, though.. he couldn't figure it out.. you can't simply "crawl down face first LOL

So, we had a great day! I hope to have a new blog up later with pictures from Olivia's party. The babies were so cute!!

Ta ta for now!
