Festivities

Anders and Jorja are 2! Two! But before I get ahead of myself with the whole Anders and Jorja's 2nd B-day Bash topic, I want to share a few pics from our adventures last weekend. In the span of two days, the kiddos marched in a parade, acquired a set of tattoos, bounced in a large, inflatable castle, and rode Thomas the Train.

On Saturday, Anders, Jorja, Tasya, Scout and I met Gailyn and her Tae Kwon Do troupe. We snuck in as parade participants -- despite our lack of proper Tae Kwon Do garb.

On our way to the parade staging area -- where we spent a good 45 minutes waiting and waiting and waiting...for our marching debut.



Scout smiling (or something along those lines) in anticipation of her first parade participant experience.



Anders, with a mouth full of mango, relaxing in the wagon.



Jorja, also with a mouth full of mango, ready to roll.



Gailyn taking a moment to hang with the kiddos.



On Sunday, Gailyn, Anders, Jorja, Tiff, Joe, Jackson, Brain, Cashell and I headed to a Day Out with Thomas the Train adventure. 3 adults vs. 6 children (ages 6, 3, 2, 2, 20 months, and 3 months). All of that with 0 strollers. Whew.

Anders and his first tattoo.



Jorja and her first tattoo.



On the train: Gailyn, Jorja, Jackson, and Joe. Off the train: Me, Tiff, Anders, Brian, and Cashell. There were so many of us we had to ride this train in two installments.
