Gymnastics Day 1

Today was Maddox's first day of gymnastics.  It went well.  We did multiple things but the trampoline and the foam pit were his favorite by far.  He didn't want to leave either and was quite distracted doing other things.  Over all we had a great time.  As you can see Maddox has no fear.  He also liked coach Ashley. 

The Day of the Dinosaur

Kate, Maddox, and I got to spend the afternoon at the Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary.  They have a dinosaur exhibit along one of the Nature trails.  The dinosaurs move and make noise.  It was Maddox's first Dino encounter.  He loved it, I think he's hooked.  Here are some pictures.

Scarborough Renaissance Festival

We spent a wonderful Mother's Day at the Scarborough Renaissance Festival.  It was a lot of fun and almost everyone dressed the part.  From knights to monsters to fairies, we saw it all.

We ate everything in sight.  Turkey legs, Gyros, Baklava, root beer and Maddox even mixed in some pizza.

Maddox played grab the Duckies.  We were suprised to find out where Clint has actually been hiding all this time.

Maddox Caught Red Handed

The Highlight of my entire day was the family elephant ride.  I can't believe I actually got to ride and Elephant.

Maddox Also got to ride a llama.  He yelled llama all the way around the ride.

Maddox and Mama enjoyed the petting zoo.  Their goats, llamas, chickens, rabbits and even a big turtle.  Maddox and Mama got to feed the miniture horse

Maddox got a bell from a monster.  He was told to ring it any time a monster was near.  It signaled that he was a friend to the monsters.  We used it later in the day, It worked!

Maddox loved the folk music.  He is a huge Noobler fan!

My First Bike Ride

We took advantage of the warm sunny day and took our first bike ride.  Dad hooked up my new seat, Mama dressed me, and we all put on our helmets and went for a ride.  I had a blast!
