Playing at the Park Part 2

Playing at the Park Part 1

We didn't have ANY parks like this when I was growing up!!! Why do all of the best kid's things come out after I am already too big to play with them?! This park is HUGE!!! Next time I go, I am going to count how many slides it has. Also, in a month, they will be turning on the spray park- all FREE fun!

An Olympic's Souveneir

Ms. Barbara lives in Canada, right where they held the Winter 2010 olympics! She sent Jaden and Morgan poctcards and pictures of her country. We used them during homeschool when we studied Canada and the olympics. They checked out the mascots, and had coloring pages to go along with it. Then, when the olympics were over, and olympic stuff was on sale, Ms. Barbara asked them which mascot they liked best. They both liked the Sasquatch called Squatchi. We made a trade- I sent Ms. Barbara items from here in exchange for her sending 2 Squatchi zipper pulls. The girls LOVE them!

Fun in the sand & sun

Texas weather, what can I say? It was such a beautiful day!!

5 Little Monkeys Song @ Friday School

This is the hyper version of "5 Little Monkeys". Morgan loves it! Can you tell?

Meet Up with Out-of-Towners

I forgot to post these pictures from January. The lady (Neely) that used to watch Jaden & Morgan while LeCount & I worked full-time had moved gotten married and moved to another state 2 years ago. She came into town for a few days, and we met up with her and her 2 new kids. All of us adults were surprised to see how much each other's kids had grown. The kids went right on playing like they hadn't missed a beat or been away from each other.

Babe's is an experience

Morgan loved helping herself to the corn... and more corn... and more corn... Oh, and you HAVE to lick the serving spoon!

Water while you wait for your name to be called. Yummy!

We went to Babe's a couple of days ago. Have any of ya'll ever been there? Our family had never been, but it was an unforgettable experience. When we got there, there was a 1 hour wait for a table, so the girls played on the farm equipment for a few minutes. Then, we moved to an open waiting area with all kinds of chairs, heating lamps, sinks to wash your hands with soap, bottled water with cone cups, easily accessible restrooms (without going inside of the restaurant)- total comfort!

After our wait, we got a table. We ordered 2 entrees. LeCount got the chicken fried steak, and I got the pot roast. We always just get the entrees for the two of us and then split it with the girls. The RARELY eat more than a few bites. This time, they went to town with the food!! There were non-stop biscuits and 5 veggies!! We had endless corn, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, and salad! Talk about the yummiest vegetables you have ever tasted! Morgan ate a whole family-sized serving of the corn all by herself! I can't write any more of this post because it is making me want to get in my car and go back! The food is definitely addictive!

Blacksmith Shop

There is something about rusty old farm equiptment and trains that draws the attention of children. When went to Babe's, and they had all of this equiptment outside. It worked out perfectly because the wait was 1 hour, so the girls stayed busy climbing on the tools & looking at the train.

Totally Cool Gift from Grandma Frances!

Grandma Frances sent us a deposit for a sand box, a check for $25. I found this cool sand table for $45, and LeCount bought the blue sand. Not bad for a small investment. The girls LOVE it! Apparently, they have pink sand, too!
