Day 2: Visit to the U.S.S. Lexington

Our hotel was within walking distance to the Lexington and the Aquarium, this was great because we needed the exercise after all that seafood we were eating!

Kate taking a break from being held. It's hard when you're just a crawler and can't go everywhere on your own!
Our little dare devil...this was his favorite part.
Having too much fun pretending to shoot a real gun!

Last day at the beach

There were thousands of jellyfish in the ocean...literally! By Sunday we figured out that they would not sting us, so we picked one up. Kate wanted to touch it...it was slimy!
Of course Robert wanted to hold it. I just loved how bright Kate's eyes were out in the sun!

Robert and Blair loved waking up to see each other. Here they are first thing in the morning...in their 'jammies.

Now for some serious fishing...

Robert's first fish!
We made him kiss it!
This was the 4th and final fish. After dropping his fishing pole in the lake, we didn't know if he'd catch any more that day. But super dad saved the day and rescued the Spiderman fishing pole! Robert said he was the best daddy in the whole world and wanted him to have his medal from soccer. So he really did give it to him when we got home on Sunday! Very sweet. We only brought 2 home. I think Rob was a little confused about their status. He still thinks that even though they are in the deep freeze that we can get a glass jar and put them in there as pets!

He sure did take them in a baggie within a baggie within a baggie to class at church this morning! I'm sure his teachers really appreciated that. Sorry! But he'll never forget his first catch...neither will his parents!

More Playing

A little more play time at the pool and in the dirt before getting serious with the fish.

Quiet times

Kate and Kaki played while Robert gave the fishing another go.

Fireworks!

Big Pardner planned an evening boat ride ending with fireworks on the lake. What fun! The real fireworks came when Robert was given the chance to drive the boat. Well, we survived, and Robert will never forget this boat ride!

Happy 4th of July

So, we made our 2nd annual 4th of July trip to Lake Whitney this weekend. Of course, we had to make a stop at Baylor on the way. I think Trey just can't pass it without stopping! Here's our little Miss America in her red, white & blue.
