Inflatable Wonderland

We spent several fun days at Inflatable Wonderland this summer. My boys love playing there. Last week we had a fun morning there with our cute cousins Landon and Luke. Carter had always been apprehensive in the past but this time he was ready to play. He crawled right into the Sesame Street inflatable and bounced and giggled. It was too cute! Lots of energy was burned and lots of fun was had by all!!!

Shark!!!!  Aren't they funny?

Awww, Carter likes Elmo.



 

Cooper's First Date

Some of our dearest friends have a little girl name Reagan that is about a year younger than Cooper. She and Cooper are so cute together. This summer at a birthday party, they hopped in a battery powered truck and Cooper drove Reagan around. We joked that it was their first date. It was so adorable! Who knows someday it just might happen. I sure hope Cooper picks precious girls like Reagan to date when the time comes.

Well, maybe not today. =)

ZDT's

Well, more summer fun was had by my boys at ZDT's in Sequin. The big boys love that place. The trampoline bungy thing and ballcity room is where they spent most of their time.

He was so close to the ceiling!!

     They also went on the roller coaster simulator. Colton loved it and Cooper wanted to love it. =) The worker told Colton all about the emergency stop button and well--it was pushed right away. Cooper wanted out. Of course when the door was opened then he said it was okay. Ultimately, he decided to skip it.

Sweet Carter tried the little car and alligator that move but they were pretty jerky and he wasn't a fan of that. He liked to play on them when they were still though. Also, the ballcity does some loud noises that scared him so he just hung out. He liked watching his big brothers run around. Thank goodness Mammy was along with us to stroll with him and load him up on snacks. So he still had fun!

The Witte

We are down to two weeks of summer so we are squeezing in all the summer fun we can these days. We headed to The Witte Museum to see the Dinosaur Exhibit with Graham, Grady, Aunt Hillary and Omi. Poor Carter was scared because that area was dark and the roars were a little loud so Omi took him to see some other stuff. (That explains why Carter is only in one picture.) But my big boys loved it! The dinosaurs were large and active.=) A few of them even had buttons that allowed you to move them and make them roar. There was also a small area where you could "dig" for fossils. So fun!!! The perfect end to our fun morning was meeting Cody for lunch afterwards --that is always a treat.

Children's Museum

Colton and Cooper love the New Braunfels Chidren's Museum and now Carter does too. We made a trip there last week and they all enjoyed every minute. They all love playing in the grocery store section and Carter loved pushing those carts that are just his size. Colton was so sweet and helped him "shop".

The big boys "tiled a kitchen", rode in a kayak and fished.

All of them loved driving the ambulance but Carter spent the most time there. He had a blast turning on the lights and turning the steering wheel.

Since this was Carter's first trip to the museum, he was checking everything out. He spent a little bit of the time in a toddler area but for the most part, he roamed and explored it all.

Even Carter's beloved Pooh Bear made the trip. =)

Playnastics

One day while Colton was at daycamp, Cooper, Carter and I went to J and R Gymnastics for their playnastics. Cooper loves to bounce around there and swing from the rope into the pit. Carter loved exploring the toys in the toddler area and just running around. They had a great time and we were all worn out when we were done.

Happy Camper!!

Colton went to TbarM daycamp again this year and had a complete blast!! I have to say I am so impressed with everything this camp does. I love that it is Christian based and Colton was learning about the Lord each day. But he was also having so much fun swimming, playing games, playing in the "fort", competing and enjoying "the blob." Each day had a different theme...Shipwrecked, Mission Impossible, County Fair(no picture), Alpha Vs. Omega. Colton loved getting into costume and you can just feel the excitement from all those kiddos.

Landon and Colton

Each year at the end of the camp there is a closing ceremony which is so neat for Cody and I to go to. They show the parents the songs and chants they have learned and wrap up what the week was like. Then we have a little group meeting with the counselors. They give each camper a certificate based on a character trait they see in them during the week. Colton's was Understanding. They said that during "Batter's Box" (bible lesson), that he always knew the answers to the questions about the lesson and was able to really elaborate on what he learned. Once again, he made us proud! Here are some pictures from the week.
