I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for ICE CREAM!!!

I organized a tour of the Baskin Robbins ice cream parlor in our town for my 'moms' group. We enjoyed seeing where they keep their ice cream cold, how they make waffle cones and of course eating a yummy sundae.

the freezer...L said it felt like Austria.

at the end everyone got a sundae, L & Lil C's consisted of vanilla ice cream with multi-colored sprinkles

Hanging out with Mommy

Lil C's new thing is climbing up on tables. I am constantly watching him for fear of him falling off, but this child has NO Fear! As I was working online the other day he decided that he wanted to sit on my desk and watch me type and look at different sites.

L peeking in on me...notice Lil C in the background, climbing up on the dining table.

YEP! Sitting on the dining table and looking in at me because he knows he isn't supposed to up there.

the aquarium...

The Dallas Aquarium located in the Fair Park area has to be one of the biggest disappointments of all time. So, we took my grandmother to the Dallas World Aquarium in Dallas' West End. Although pricey, this is the aquarium to visit if you ever are in the area. L did not overly enjoy it because he said we just saw some of the same animals at the zoo a couple of weeks ago, but they had a tunnel there you could walk through and the sharks and stingrays were swimming all around. If he could have it his way he'd have gladly sat in this tunnel for the entire hour and some that we were there.

Bucket Heads

I looked up from my computer to find two Bucket Head aliens invading my office.

Lions, Tigers and Bears

Well, not exactly. More like Flamingos, Snakes and a Fox oh my!

We took the boys to the zoo. We only walked around half because the humidity and heat really started to get to us all.

Stockyards

Ah, the Fort Worth Stockyards. I have been so many times, I couldn't even count how many. But I enjoy it still. Unfortunately we had some strong thundershowers this morning so the guy that walks the longhorn around for visitors to pet and sit upon was not out. I think he was who L was looking forward to most. The good news for L was that there were lots of cheerleaders there getting what I suppose were their Senior pictures taken. Most were wearing dresses with cowboy boots on. I know everyone thinks that's normal attire down here, but it ain't. ;)

L waiting for a shoe shine...in Crocs no less.

I thought this was neat, it shows the layount of cattledrive positions.

This however, was as close as the boys got to a horse.

Here are the girls L was eyeing the entire time.

Alright, I have no idea. Apparently L was shooting at Big C.? I ran to the Cowgirls room so I can't be sure.

Look at all the cowboy hats!!! It almost makes you want to buy one...but I refrained. ;)

I LOVE this photo of L. He is such a ham.

Look at this outlaw, and I mean L, trying to steal that poor mans gun.

It was, like, 9:30am and this joint smelled like BBQ. Yummy!

Some guy on a horse. (No, this isn't something you see every day down here.)

I love that there's a LOVE SHACK next door to the SALOON. Had to take a picture.

So that was our morning. a little drizzle, but a lot of sightseeing.

Bubbles Galore

What happens when your sweet toddler pours an entire bottle of Mr. Bubbles into the bathtub?

You make him and his brother take a bath at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Poor L had to turn on the water to wash his wash cloth. There was only about 6 inches of water in the entire tub, the rest was all bubbles.
