What a day!

Poor John got in at 5am this morning after going to Austin to see a band with his friend, Cory.  Then, this morning--we loaded up the boys to go to the beach with June and her family.  We ended up staying at the beach for about a half hour, because it was freezing.  The boys were  having fun splashing around, but we were bundling up with towels and sweatshirts, and we weren't able to stick it out for too long.  The 59 degree temperature wouldn't have been so bad, if it weren't for the strong winds.  So, we decided to go to Moody Gardens to the aquarium.  The boys had a really good time at the aquarium.  They have seen a lot of fish on the television, but this was their first time to see real fish.  They thought the Penguins were really neat!  It seems like it take me a while to load pictures from my camera, but I will try to do that soon.  After the aquarium, we went to eat at a seafood restaurant.  I guess all of the fish at the aquarium made everyone hungry for seafood.  Poor fish!

The boys took a nap on the way home from the beach, so they were ready to play again when we got home.  We went to the park, and they had a great time.  It just happened to be the neighborhood Crawfish Boil, so there were a lot of people at the park.  I gave the boys some cotton candy for the first time, but they weren't interested in trying it.  They did like twirling it around in the dirt and using the paper cone as a bat.  They had a really good time playing on the swings and slides, and they really enjoyed the tire swing.  It was hard to pull them away from the park, but I bribed them by saying that we could go home and watch "Cars."

They LOVE this swing!  They are still wearing their swim tops from earlier.

Andrew was having a great time pushing Sam and Will.


After putting the boys to bed, John and I ordered some food from the Thai place outside the neighborhood.  He's cleaning out the car right now, and if we have time--we may watch a movie!  So, it's been an eventful weekend.  :)

Will loves his cars!

Leen has been in town, and she bought the boys some cars from the movie "Cars."  That is their favorite movie at the moment--especially Will's.  Last night, we all got a good laugh watching Will try to hoard all the cars in his hands.  He spent about 5 minutes trying to get 4 cars in each hands.  He kept dropping them, but he would continue to try over and over again.  It was so funny.  We were all laughing and cheering him on at the same time.  So cute!

Will is obsessed with Cars 2

It is official--Will is obsessed with Cars 2, but he hates Cars 1.  He could sit and watch Cars 2 for days, but if you even try to put Cars 1 in the player, he goes into a rage.  Oh Will, we love you, but you are a stinker sometimes!
