Father’s Day Camping

For Father’s day it is our tradition that instead of a card I get a cookie cake card. This year Levi picked out a robot for the decoration.
This is part of why I get the cake. It gets shared. Levi really enjoyed himself.
I mean REALLY enjoyed himself.
It was quite a mess. Luckily his shirt matched the icing.
That weekend we went camping with our friends Ann, Jessie and Olivia. Levi and Olivia had fun swimming. At least until Levi discovered Olivia didn’t like being splashed. Then it devolved into two year olds hassling each other.
There’s our rooms for the night.
We brought some Duplos to provide entertainment. They had fun playing together. Olivia would tell Levi what to do, and he would ignore her. It was like they’d been together forever.
Getting ready for bed.
This is actually taken while he was asleep. He did a great job.
Here we are getting ready for breakfast. We had a good meal and then went to go check out the park.
Levi wasn’t very good about sharing his chair though.
But Olivia shared her wagon with him.
Yeah, we have ferocious predators at our closest state park. Of course when we went looking for them we couldn’t find a single one to show the kids. They are normally laying out sunning themselves. I think it was too hot though.
Looking for gators.

Touching a snake!
Oooh, soft.

And our first alligator sighting of the day.
There are also buttons that can be pressed to make animal sounds. Levi spent most of his time here.
The final group shot before we left.
I’m sure we’ll do more again in the future, once Olivia’s little brother is here and a little older.

End of Year Party

Levi had an end of year party at school. We attended a chapel service where most of the classes sang a song or 2 and then went back to their classrooms for snacks and playing. The teachers put together a really nice scrapbook for the year. His teachers were so great this year. They love Levi so much and truly care about him. We are praying that we have such good teachers next year too.

Ms. Hilarie and Levi. He is into making silly faces when we take his picture.
Enjoying a cup of lemonade (hence the face) and snack mix.
Ms. Kelly
Waiting for chapel to start. He wouldn’t go up on the stage to sing so he sat on the front row and watched. He knew all the songs and sang them from the pew. Silly boy.

Anniversary Concert

For our 9th anniversary Kendra and I went to a concert.  KSBJ is having free concerts in Kemah all month with some of my favorite bands.  Here we are together in a self portrait.

The first band was a group from Australia named Revive.  We hadn’t heard of them, but they were pretty good.

I snuck in a quick shot of my date between bands.

Apparently the concert wasn’t exciting enough for her the whole time.

There was a pretty good size crowd there.

Even some staying in the hotel at the boardwalk.

Then Hawk Nelson put on another great concert.

Complete with beach balls and crowd surfing.

Afterwards we all got in our cars and waited in traffic for an hour to go home.  That’s the main problem with that place.  Kemah has no scheme for handling the traffic that the location creates.  Complete traffic failure.

Beach Fun!

Saturday July 10th we went to the beach. We went with my Mom and Charlie and had a great time. Somehow we didn’t get any pictures on our camera of the 3 of us. After we were done we went and ate at The Spot on the Seawall. We had never been before. It was very tasty and we enjoyed eating outside.
