 Simon is ready for 2nd grade! |
 Simon's silly sisters |
 "Do they seriously have to follow me like that?" |
 The girls help Simon set up his desk |
 Me: "Why are you guys dressed in helmets and shin guards?" |
 Them: "So that we can attack this bush, duh." |
 Artistic collaboration |
 It's beautiful when they work together |
 A refrigerator-worthy creation |
 Simon with his new palm tree "Fred" |
 Annie decorates herself |
 Another fancy outfit |
 Simon works on his piano songs |
 Music makes him happy |
 Kristina can ride a bike! |
 Expedition to the park |
 Annie is speedwalking to keep up |
 "No paparazzi, please" |
 Family baseball |
 Simon works on his skills |
 Kristina wants to play |
 But she feels left out |
 Solution: let's go climb some things! |
 Working up her nerve |
 This girl can do anything |
 "Someday I'll be able to do monkey bars, but not today." |
 Aggressive climbing #1: starting in the middle of the bridge |
 Aggressive climbing #2: up the outside of the slide |
 Aggressive climbing #3: doing the splits in flip-flops |
 "If you want to see aggressive climbing, watch my sister." |
 Aggressive climbing #4: on top of the monkey bars? |
 Like I said, she can do anything. |
 "Hello down there." |
 Simon climbs a tree |
 Watching the clouds |
 "Why is our driveway wet again? It never rains two days in a row." |
 Kristina goes out to explore |
 Wow, our street is a little river |
 Perfect weather for curbside wading adventures |
 Good thing we have swords to combat the monsoon water |
 Simon is home; baseball game got rained out |
 "Simon, come check out these puddles!" |
 You don't have to ask him twice |
 Very impressive splashing |
 Annie is a good splasher too |
 Now he's just trying to get my camera wet |
 Water is a real novelty when you live in the desert... |
 Annie is ready to dry out |
 Aftermath |
 Heading out for a bike ride |
 Kristina can keep up! |
 She learns to start on her own |
 Time for a shade break |
