C's play date at Pump It Up

S teaching her "class" - she even had them organized from
kindergarten to older "kids"(see smallest to her left, those are the
kindergarteners!)

These sweet friends are moving:(  We will miss them so so much!!

The kids found these under the couch(we'd forgotten all about

blankets and snacks:)
