2 Stamp Day!

The kids and I flew down to Texas a few days ago to visit with Cap and Macie (Roger is home getting ready to start a new job!) Unfortunately the weather is incredibly hot and so we are trying to find things to stay cool while still letting the kids run and burn off their incredible amounts of energy. The pool, so far, has been a big hit. Unlike the pool at home, the "baby" pool here has 2 water slides and goes up to 3 feet deep...the boys are in heaven! We are hoping to hit the beach this weekend and Grant really wants to go back to the "big ship" - the USS Lexington that is in the Corpus harbor.

Some funny quotes from today:

1 - Grant started a new game - Hop the Drains. He would swim from floor drain to floor drain in the pool - each about 7 feet apart. And no, you can't touch the pool floor.

2- Beckett found a bug in the pool. As he walks over to the pool side, I hear him say "It's OK bug, it's OK. (put down bug on the poolside). There you go bug."

3 - Beckett brings me a bug in his hand. Holds out his hand and says, "oops, I broke it." Yes, it was squished.

4 - You might be wondering why this is titled "2 Stamp Day." When we got home, Grant runs up to Macie and she asks how the pool was. He says "Great! I got 2 stamps today!" :-) We had our hands stamped at the door so we could go back to the pool.

 Grant not only enjoying "Wild Kratts," but also having a seat all to himself on the plane.

 Beckett checking out the computer - DON'T push buttons Beckett!

 Grant ready - goggles and all.

 Classic Beckett.

 Classic Grant - nice form! He got the whistle after this - no diving in the baby pool. :-(

 Here are some bugs we found Cap.

 Come on Beckett - jump in the water!

 Water spouts at the pool. Beckett loved running through them over and over.

 Hurry up Grant!
