Friday iPhone Dump #213

Last Friday, Jacob's school had a Writing Celebration where we were invited into the library to spend some time with them.  They had written a series of books and were to read them to us.  Jacob wrote about a person named Connie.  It took me about 3 books to realize Connie was a boy.

Hannah was excited to go but more excited to play in the library!

On Saturday, we headed to Minute Maid Park for Jacob's Boy Scout Fair.  Friday afternoon, Hannah had gotten her new glasses but that didn't go well.  By Saturday morning, she loved them!

The Scout Fair had a little bit of everything and A LOT of people there.  Jacob got to sit in this cool racecar and make faces.

They also got to play dress up which is right up their alley.

And Jacob stuck his head in a dinosaur's mouth.

Later, Randy fixed the picture and Jacob likes this one better!

Since we were at the Astros ballpark, we took some pictures with Mickey.

That afternoon, some neighbors had a derby and crawfish party.  Hannah was so proud of herself that she finally held a live crawfish.  Too bad I ate him later!

Jacob just looking tough.

So the kids would also enjoy the derby party, Kristen made this.

On Sunday, we headed to Lorena for Logan's confirmation.   Sadly, this was the only picture I got.

The other Logan (also known as friend Logan) came to play with Hannah one day and they wanted to watch Trolls and eat popcorn.

Rocky got his summer haircut this week but refuses to take a good picture.

And, we are FINALLY almost done with our outdoor patio.  Randy did a lot more work than me, but I did pick the cute throw pillows.  Nevermind that our tv is playing KidzBop, we still think we're cool!

Friday iPhone Dump #212

Sorry this is a few days late.  I really hate to disappoint my one reader out there.  But, better late than never.

This post should really be called our trip to LEGOLAND California.

We have one picture that is NOT from LEGOLAND.  For Randy's anniversary present, I bought us tickets to go see Daniel Tosh in College Station.  My mom came in to keep the kids.  Which automatically means they go to McDonald's for ice cream.

On Sunday, we got to San Diego around 10:30 (California time) but we weren't doing LEGOLAND that day and we couldn't check in to the hotel until 4pm.  So, I found this place called Belmont Park which is an old amusement park right on the beach.  It was really fun.

Our favorite part was the wooden roller coater built in 1925.  Although Hannah couldn't ride it, the three of us loved it!  Hannah had plenty of other stuff to do.

She liked these cars which went pretty slow but then slung you around the corner.

There was a decent place to eat right along the beach there.  None of us have ever been to California and it is SO BEAUTIFUL!!

Walking along the pretty beach.

Jacob will cooperate to take selfies with me.  Hannah was too busy.  And this is how Randy acts...

Hannah really liked these bumper car things too.

Jacob and I snuck back to the wooden roller coaster.

And on the carousel.

The next day was our first day at LEGOLAND.  We had a blast.

That night, after dinner, we found another beach near the hotel.  These pictures do not do it justice.

Day #2 at LEGOLAND!

We had so much fun and they are at a perfect age for LEGOLAND.  Hannah could ride everything (and did) and Jacob still enjoyed it.  However, we realized that he won't enjoy it long since it didn't really have any big rides.
