Uncle Joe's Pogo Stick Challenge

A birthday gift from Unlce Joe, Aunt Nancy and Sebastian.

Just mom's opinion, but Vincent is the best pogostick jumper in the land.

Uncle Joe put him to the test.

zig zag across the line of the circle, one jump per side.  took him a few dozen tries, but he did it!

dribble and jump - no problem

jump this high!

no problem!

Party Time

The treasure hunt begins,

To Vincent and friends,

This is a special day.  This is the day I finally tell the location of THE SECRET OF THE GOLDEN LEOPARD. Hidden here in this park.  

To be sure you are worthy of this treasure you must find and follow the clues to, THE SECRET OF THE GOLDEN LEOPARD.  Baaaaaaaaaah!

I will test your strength, your smarts, AND YOUR COURAGE!  If you succeed the award will be great!  If you do not, well then, my face can become even more red and angry!  

UNCOVER the secret before it falls into the wrong hands.  

WORK TOGETHER. And do not be greedy.  Booby traps have been set for those that are greedy.

I believe you are all ready for this adventure.  So I wish you good luck!

this weekend

Saturday, after Leon through a maraka and broke the tv, and after we jumpstarted the car, we four went to the Mcclellan Ranch Junior Nature Musuem.  Then Vince tried ice skating with Gabbie, at the Cupertino Rink's open house. Of course Vince was pretty good.

Leon was feeling better today.

Laser tag after 19 holes! Watching the orientation video in this cartoon room.

Back at home, we watched The Lorax.  Leon kept giggling at the movie, like when the fish got squirted in the face with toothpaste, so Vince kept rewinding it.  

They sure are a fun duo all day long.
