Children's Museum

We had some time to kill on Saturday before going to a 50th Wedding anniversary, so we stopped in to the children's museum in Commerce.

 Addison the monkey!

Bowling

We joined Kids Bowl Free again this year.  These kids love to bowl.  They get that from Tim. On their last day of preschool we took them bowling.  They did so much better this year compared to last year.  Addison even won a game! I am having so much trouble getting Glade to stay still in the picture, notice his blur! 

 My sweet girl!  She loves to pose for the camera!

Playing catch up...

I have been a bad blogger lately and actually a bad picture taker too.  We have done several things already this summer, but I do not have pictures of them.  So, here is what we have been up to. 

• Hawaiian Falls- Thank you grammy and pappy for the birthday present.  We love to go swim!
• Swimming with friends
• Kids Games- a sports camp
• Sky VBS @ LakePointe Church
• Birthday Parties
• Chores

We had fun on our first trip to Hawaiian Falls. We hope to go back again soon! I am hoping to go this Thursday!

The kids had fun at Kids Games and VBS at Lakepointe.  They came home excited and singing lots of new songs!  I volunteered during VBS so the kids could go.  I am just a little excited that they get to go next year without me volunteering!  Oh the things I will be able to get done!

 This was crazy hair day!  I did not get a picture of Glade in his cookie hat.  They came home with yellow hair!  It was a fun day!

Texas State Aquarium

We took the kids to the Texas State Aquarium while in Corpus.  That is the best aquarium I have seen.  There was even a splash park there.  Too bad we did not know that or we would have taken swimsuits and towels for the kids.

They had a great time feeding the stingrays. 

 
This turtle got stuck in plastic and lots one of it's flippers.  We got to watch them feed this turtle.  He liked to eat shrimp.  I would not want to have this guy mistake my finger for a shrimp...he can do some damage.

 Watching the bird show.

 In front of the dolphin area.  We had to convince them this was not a real dolphin.

We got to get an underwater view of the dolphins swimming.

 The smiling sting ray.

 Glade's favorite...the shark!

We had a great time!  Thank you Grammy and Pappy for taking us to the aquarium!

Seagulls

While at Port Aransas we fed the seagulls. You know the scene from Nemo where they are all shouting Mine, mine, mine?? Yep that is what it was like!

We just threw the bread up in the air and the birds would catch it.  We were surrounded!

 Mom had some come take the bread out of her hand.

Thankfully no birds made a mess on us while we were feeding them!  They had the perfect opportunity too!

Our First Trip to the Beach

We met Grammy and Pappy a couple weeks ago for a stay at their house.  They decided to take us to the beach.  Here we are on our way!

 The kids had such a good time playing in the sand and running in the waves. Addison let Pappy bury her in the sand.  She was buried up to her shoulders after I put the camera away...of course!

 I took them out a little further into the water.  Addison loved it until she saw the fish jump right in front of us.  That is why her legs are sticking straight out.  She did not want her feet anywhere near the water!

 Glade enjoyed letting the waves come up over him!  Needless to say they had sand all over them!

 Here we drove to a different beach in Port Aransas.  We rode a ferry to get there.  The kids had so much fun but would not get out of the car while on the ferry.  It was super windy!!

SpLaSh DaY

We were splishin' and a splashin'

Slippin and Slidin'

First we had lunch outside!

 Then we started with the water fun!  Of course the first thing Glade did was squirt me with the water squirter!

 Such sweet friends!

Addison wanted Ms. Erin to go with her, but she didn't wait for her to slide down with her!  Glade wanted me to go with him and I said no. (I did not have a change of clothes) He said, "but Ms. Erin did it!  Sorry bud!
