Cousins at Yaya's

 I was feeling particularly brave and took both of my kids to visit my mom in University Place. She had already picked up my nephew Nolan in the hopes that Sissy would deliver this baby of hers already. (She didn't.) But Clementine loooooooooves Nolan and had a blast.

 The whole time we were on the go on this mini-"vacation." The first night, we took the kids to the park Sissy and I used to visit as kids (although it looked nothing like this when we were kids).

 There was lots of rocking climbing,

 and swinging,

 and dancing a jig on the picnic tables.

 Meanwhile, Dutch watched the light through the trees far away from his crazy cousins.

 Then there was some piano playing

 while Dutch appreciated the tune from the couch.

 As per Sissy's request, we took the kiddos on a bike ride. Clem's had her balance bike almost two years while Nolan is just getting started. We were all hoping Clem would be able to show Nolan how very fun bike rides really are.

 There was some bike riding....

 sort of...

 mostly, there was bike stopping.

 But then this happened, and the bike ride was all over.

 Clementine found a "stage" on which to perform a hula/ballet. She tossed her helmet aside, threw the bike on the ground and danced her little heart out.
