Memorial Weekend

For our holiday weekend we decided to drive to the coast again this year and go to the Texas State Aquarium and the beach like we did last year.  We got up early on Sunday and drove to the Aquarium first.  We got to see the dolphin show when we first got there then made our way to all the other animals.  They have a great playground for kids to play outside so we ate lunch and let Cadynce play for a long time.  She had fun chasing all the birds and standing under the fans that blew a mist on her.  When it was nap time we headed for the beach and Cadynce slept on the drive there.  The beaches were packed so we just found the closest one that was open and parked.  We got to play for a while before the clouds started rolling in.  Cadynce had a blast and it was a little more fun this year since she was a year older.

Monday Don worked outside for several hours putting rock on one side of our house.  Grass won't grow and it's become a big mud pit that the dogs like to get dirty in.  Cadynce had fun helping Don with her little plastic shovel and he would let her ride in the wheel barrel which she thought was really cool.  We just enjoyed the rest of our day hanging out and we went to the pool with the rest of the neighborhood.  View album for more pictures.  Click here for videos.

Happy Mother's Day

Cadynce and I spent our morning helping at church while Don was on his way home from his friends wedding in Chicago.  Don got to spend some time with his family with the wedding so close to home.  Don got home after Cadynce's nap and we went straight to the pool.  Anytime we ask Cadynce if she wants to go to the pool she starts screaming "YES" and tells us to get our swimsuits on.  She likes to take her duck so she can throw it and swim after just like we do in swim class.  She is learning how to hang on the side of the pool then put her feet up and push off the wall to me.  She is a little too brave in the water which makes me a little nervous.  Her arms and legs do not stop when she is in the pool and she has a hard time keeping her mouth closed so she drinks a lot of water.  The other day we were driving in the car and she had her baby with her and I heard her start singing one of the songs we sing in swim class and then telling her baby to keep her mouth closed.  It was great listening to her be the mom.

For dinner we went to a burger joint we love called Bigz.  They have a great area for the kids to run around and play.  We ate outside and played while we waited for our food then again when we were done.  Cadynce loved being able to run around and chase her football.  View album for more pictures.  Click here for videos.
