Last day at the splash pad


The splash pad closed yesterday for the season. I'm not sure which of my boys was happier to be there. I'm sorry I won't have this option for a morning activity anymore.  There are still warm days to come.

White bread

We have this contraband loaf of white bread left over from BBQ on Friday night.  Calvin got his first taste then and has been waiting for moment to get it again.

While I was making breakfast this morning he snagged it from the counter and shoved a piece in his bread hole. 
And this is him when I told him he couldn't have another.

Texas Tour

We took our little Texan on a tour of his great state this weekend.  Unintentionally of course.

Saturday we went to Houston to pick up our new family truckster.  We intended to reward Calvin with a trip to the Houston Zoo, but it all took way longer than we anticipated and we decided he could run around the mall we passed on the way home instead.  Honestly, he probably didn't know the difference.  We all ate a depressing food court lunch and let Calvin run the halls and play in the toddler area.   It wasn't much different from when we take him to our local mall on hot afternoons.


To make up for his (my) disappointment we went to San Antonio Zoo on Sunday.  Rode the park train and saw the hippos.  He was most interested in the discovery house, which was really a play room.

Hi Grandma!
You can see how sweaty he was, so it was a welcome air conditioned break.























Then we stopped on at a natural spring fed pool on the way home.  The had a baby wading pool with a water slide!  Calvin couldn't get enough.




We decided to skip Dallas on Monday and opted for a jog around the lake with his best baby buddy, more playground time and lunch at Phil's ice house (burgers and yet another playground).

This mama was counting on baby nap time to take one of her own, but Calvin didn't like that idea.  After a weekend of way too late bedtimes and equally early wake-up calls, he decided he didn't need a nap.  So we played some more.  Happy Labor Day!
