Hail and Water Parks Don’t Mix…

So our trip to the Hawaiian Falls water park with the Boston Giffords didn’t really go as planned today… Luckily (number one), we got in about 2 good hours of fun times before the weather blew in. Luckily (number two), we got free passes to come back another time… Luckily (number three), we were almost at the gate when it started to hail, so we were able to crowd under the cover to miss the worst of it. 

We still had a blast there, it just sucks that the bad weather blew in and cut the day short…

Avery gave us a “Why me?” face when she had to get strapped in to her life jacket.

A Proud Day as a Parent…

The Boston Giffords are in town!

We’ve had a great last week, cause the Boston Giffords are in town!  Jordin has had a blast playing with his cousins again.

Last Saturday, we went out to the Splash Park in Allen for some play time, and the kids went crazy…

IMG_4222After we left the splash park, we went back to Grandmother and PeePaw’s house and played outside in the blow up pools.

We’ve got Legomania!

So we’ve been waiting anxiously for several months now for the Lego store to open at Northpark mall… (ok, so I was probably more psyched than anyone else, but still… Ash and Munchkin were pretty pumped too) – And on the way to the movies yesterday, we saw that it was finally open.

So of course, as soon as I got home from work, we jumped in the car and jetted over to the mall to check it out. Of course, I didn’t think to take any pictures while we were there, so if you’ve never been to one, suffice it to say that you HAVE to check it out – absolutely amazing.  They’ve got sets that have like 5000 pieces and cost $300! And the best thing is that the regular size sets are a lot cheaper than they are at other stores…

Jordin was in complete mental overload.  We told him he could get one set, but he just couldn’t decide.  Luckily, Ashley was there, cause I was pretty much in the same situation.  There is WAY to much awesomeness in that store for such a small area.  It’s gotta be bad for your brainwaves or something…

So, after about fifteen minutes of drooling and eye-popping, we told him he had to choose between 3 things, and he picked the Indiana Jones Chinese car chase set.

We rushed home, super excited to put the set together – Jordin helped me find whatever pieces the instructions called for, and I put it together. The cars turned out, as Jordin said, “SWEET!” (and I think I might quit my job and try to become the guy at the Lego factory that designs this stuff – what a rad job!)
