Fossil Rim

Yesterday, we took a trip down to Glen Rose, Texas to go see the wildlife. Fossil Rim is a 9.5 mile driving tour through the nature center. You get to feed the animals from your car...those that are daring enough to get close. There were a few animals that got up close and personal and sometimes even downright pushy. The zebras refused to leave until they got their fill of food. Here is Scott...and the zebra...posing for a photo.

The kids LOVED it, although Wesley got a bit frightened by the large animals and those that kept wanting to stick their heads in the car window. Laina was a little more brave but still refused to let them feed out of her hand. I didn't blame her...it was slimy!!

Bush whacking

The kids took part in chopping down the big bush. Although they were more of a hindrance than helpers, they at least got to learn that owning a house is not all fun and games. Well, not sure if all that was conveyed in the message but they got to wear cool garden gloves and play with neat tools!

Lickers!

The kids took turns licking off brownie mix...a trick taught by Daddy. No eggs in the brownie mix...special Wesley recipe...so Mommy was somewhat OK with it. It was fun to finally see them SHARING, even if it was a bit messy.

Soccer Party

We had Wesley's White Lightning end-of-season soccer party at our house. Fun in the somewhat chilly pool, grilling out and all the soccer pros received a trophy and T-shirt. No MVP award was given, but Wesley would have definitely been in the running! :)

Why not duke it out?

So Scott thought it would be a brilliant idea to purchase a set of boxing gloves for the kids....until he realized that he probably should have bought 2 sets. The boxing was fun...until the screaming and crying and real fighting over who gets to wear the gloves started. So the compromise...each one gets a glove. When will Daddy learn???

Lien's Birthday at Build-A-Bear

The kids had a blast at their first ever Build-A-Bear experience. Here were born Rexy the Dragon and Jonas the Jonas Dog. Not sure where and how Laina learned about the Jonas Brothers but she was dead set on that darn Jonas dog, also sometimes known as Rocky...in a Buzz Lightyear outfit.
