Jump and Jive

Today we went to Jump 'n' Jive, which was really fun. 
I didn't really know what to expect since the girls hadn't been there in a long time.
here's something I'd like to call the Audrey cam:
Genny loved it too.  She was very brave and did the slides all by herself.  I am proud of how independent she has become!

First Canyon run of 2011

Today we took the girls to Palo Duro Canyon to go on a hike.
Us at the trailhead.  We opted to take them on a more challenging trail since we thought Genny would enjoy it more and be more encouraged to keep trying.
My enthusiastic hikers!

Audrey ready to roll out...

Last year, walking over this bridge was a challenge for Genny.  This year she nailed it without any problem!

And even Audrey walked across.

Genny standing on a rock yelling, "I'm brave!"

We hiked up a rocky patch to get up to a rock formation so Genny would feel like she had climbed up a mountain.  It was a tough trek and she did really well.

We found a couple of lizards along the way.
All in all, we made it 1.3 miles down the train and back for a total of 2.6 miles.  Genny did it all by herself and Audrey rode mostly on our backs but walked a good portion of the end once she got comfortable with what we were doing.  It was a fun day.

If you want to compare the picures from last year, that post is here....
