Six Flags Trip #2

Well, we went to Six Flags, AGAIN!! It was much cooler on this trip than last time (just a week and a half ago), believe it or not!! It was overcast most of the day with a nice breeze blowing.

We started our day on the Log Jamboree. Next we visited Thomas Town where the kids played and actually got to ride on Thomas! We also rode the Mine Train, the Wheelie, several rides in Bugs Bunny Town, and everyone's favorite... The Monster "Presentation" (that is what Cade calls Monster Plantation... LOL). We didn't get to ride everything but we had a GREAT trip and can't wait to go again!!

Trip to the Zoo

We went to the zoo today with the MOPs group from Cropwell (MOPs = Mothers of PreSchoolers). We had a blast!! We watched the sea lion show and saw lots of animals... monkeys, tigers, lions, camels, etc. We rode the train and the carousel, played in the Foam Zone and the fountains, visited the butterfly exhibit, walked & walked & walked some more, and of course... we sweated a TON... (it was 98 degrees!) Here are a few pics...

P.S. Cole did not make this trip to the zoo... it was just way too HOT for him!! He stayed with my sweet friend, Dorita, and enjoyed the day playing and having fun in the air conditioned luxury of her house!! Thanks again Ms. Dorita... we LOVE you, BUNCHES!! : )

My Little Farmers

I am very proud to show off the hard work of my 2 little farmers! Cade and his daddy planted a small garden this summer and we are finally reaping the benefits. We are picking at least 8-10 ripe tomatoes a day and about 7-8 bell peppers so far. Wes and Cade are also taking care of a watermelon vine that will hopefully produce at least one small melon for Cade to enjoy. They have a pumpkin vine that is full of blooms. Cade is checking it often in hopes of finding a baby pumpkin for the fall.
