Summer Fun!

In about 3 weeks Jackson will start 1st grade! He has spent the summer at summer day camp at the YMCA, but is SO ready to head back to school. He went on his first field trip with camp on Wednesday to the Fort Worth Zoo and was a little disappointed because he didn't see a lion.

Last week Jacob and I took off a few days for a Stay-cation. Jackson experienced several "firsts". He went to Six Flags and had a blast! His favorite ride was the Runaway Mine Train, but also enjoyed another ride that you get totally soaked on as well. The next day we went to Hurricane Harbor (water park) and Jackson had a good time there. On Saturday we took him to a baseball game, Grand Prairie Air Hogs. This was a great choice for his first real sports event. Before the first pitch had been thrown, he was already asking how much longer we were going to stay. I think he sampled everything they were selling at the snack bar. He just not really into anything sports related. Things got better when their mascot "Scout" appeared and Jackson watched him entertain the crowd for the rest of the game. I'm really glad we chose this over taking him to the Texas Rangers at $60/ticket.

While we were out having fun with Jackson, poor little Austin spent the days with Nana recovering from the hand, foot and mouth virus.

Here are a few photos of our fun!
