The Rainforest Cafe

Since our summer days are quickly coming to an end, we are trying to fit a few day trips in our schedule. Today we headed to The Rainforest Cafe with the Judd family.Brock, Addison, Emma & Natalie

Brock was trying to blow out our dessert.

This picture is in the wrong place....more on that later in the post.

Welcome to the rainforest

Outside the mall

We ended our meal with a sparkling volcano....brownie, ice cream, cool whip drizzled in chocolate. YUM!

Brock thinks he is the king of jungle

After our meal, we were visited by a real live frog.....sort of!

We had a great day!

Mesquite Rodeo

On Saturday night, we headed to the Mesquite Rodeo with two other families from the fire station. The kids always have a good time at the rodeo. We paid money for Addison to ride a horse...I'm not sure why!?! She enjoyed it though. Brock didn't want to have any part of it. But the next time we go, he is going to do the mutton bustin'!!

Gotta love those ears!

Fourth of July Part II

Last night we headed to the lake. Sadly enough, this was the first time Addison and Brock had ever been swimming in a lake. Addison never missed a beat. She headed into the water without fear. Brock, on the other hand, had to investigate the water for living creatures. Once he figured out the water was clear, he decided to go out and play with the kids. Before he got out there he said, "This water really freaks me out!" Brock checking things out

We had a great time with good friends and good food. A very special thank you to Tom and Mona for inviting us!

Happy Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July!!

Our celebration started out by riding in the Rockwall parade. The kids enjoyed throwing candy and waving the flag. Although it was hot, the had a lot of fun. After a quick lunch, we headed to Aunt Sallee's and Uncle Blaine's to see Uncle Danny. Their house is one of A & B's favorite places to visit. Addison & Brock loaded and ready to roll.
