weekend fun

Saturday started off early when Dode took Isaac and some of Isaac's friends mountain biking at the Pilchuck tree farm.  They ran in to the search and rescue out there practicing and were told they looked like part of a group of some sort, it was the friends of Isaac group.  Dode is a good sport to take this many kids.

In the afternoon, we took the kids to the park.  On the way there, Miriam said, "I sure hope they have a firepole."  They didn't so later after we got home, I guess she decided it was time to attempt ours.  (For those of you who aren't aware, we have a firepole inside our house.) Down she went, too fast the first time and hurt her foot.  We thought that would quench that desire for a while but within minutes, she'd set up pillows and blankets at the bottom and was going down the pole over and over again.  She is such a daredevil!  We've had adults who've decided they don't want to do the pole after looking down the hole and here is our four year old petite premie doing it without fear.  (I'd originally written "princess" but Miriam has informed us that princesses don't go down fire poles!)
