Sea Life Aquarium

Our neighbors told us about the Sea Life Aquarium in Grapevine Mills Mall.  They took their two boys and said that it was really neat.  They also had two extra tickets left over and gave them to us to use, so we headed out to Grapevine Mills Mall to check it out.  It was really neat!  Ethan went through it 3 times.  We also took advantage of being out there and ate lunch at the Rainforest Cafe.  Needless to say, Ethan had a great day!

We ate lunch at the Rainforest Cafe.  Ethan liked it.

Poor Lillian couldn't take it anymore.  She decided to take a nap while Ethan rode the train around the mall!

We had a great day!!  I think we were all tired by the time we got home!

Fourth of July

My dad's boss has a Fourth of July party every year.  We have been to it once, but it has been a few years since that so we decided to go again this year.  They cook a ton of food and we eat and swim all day!  Ethan could stand in the shallow part of the pool so he had a great time.  I think he ran and jumped in the water at least 100 times!

Ethan being silly!!

Lillian getting ready for the pool!

This is one of Ethan's 100 times of jumping in!!

We had a great time at the Fourth of July party!  We can't wait to go back next year!

Happy Birthday Julie!

Julie's birthday is on the fourth of July, but we celebrated it a day early.  The City of Sachse does a firework show and we can sit in our backyard and watch it.  They always do it on July 3rd so we decided to celebrate Julie's birthday and watch fireworks all at the same time!  

Jake loving the water slide!

Ethan hitting Jake with a water gun!

Lillian having a good time in her pool!

Ryan having to swim in his t-shirt and diaper because Julie didn't bring his swimsuit!  The last two times we have gotten together and had the water slide and pool out, Ryan has wanted nothing to do with it.  Well...he showed her!  He loved the water!

This is a great picture of how these two boys really are!

After time, poor Ryan couldn't even stand up because his diaper was so full of water.  It was hilarious!  We finally had to change him into a swim diaper just so he could walk around!  Who would have ever thought that a diaper could get this full!

Ryan even ventured into the "big kid" pool and loved playing in there too!

Lillian didn't make it to the fireworks show, but she went to bed with her Fourth of July pajamas on!

This is my pinterest cake that turned out really cool.  It's a red, white, and blue cake!

Watching fireworks in the backyard.  Ethan is having a great time covering his ears!!  :)

 Patrick gets his own section for playing in the kids pool all by himself!!  He played with the kids all night!
