X for eXtremely Close To Alligators


Although, I had no intension of molesting an alligator, I did get off a bit when I saw a guy walking off of the trail with his giant lens...if ya know what I mean.
Seriously, though his GIANT lens makes me hot!

W for Waves

The kid's first trip to the ocean was wonderful. They loved it so much! We went in the late afternoon and stayed until dark. They built castles in the sand, found shells and tackled the waves while shouting, at the top of their lungs, "BIG KUHUNA!" It actually sounded more like, "BIG KUHUnuakhh" ending with a gargle, a spit of salty sea water and a precious 'first time in the ocean' laugh.

V for Valor

Right before spring break, Owen participated in the 4th & 5th grade choir's performance of Joust! It was a really cute musical about how King Arthur, his Mighty Medieval Men and the rest of the kingdom were brought together by music. 

Owen was unbelievably excited when he was voted, along with a 5th grader named Brady, to 'star' in this very exciting & violent jousting scene! 




I love to see Owen try & enjoy new things. I hope he never loses his love of exploring...whether inside the halls of his school or outside in snake country. These diverse experiences help kids absorb information and give them a depth that even the best parenting cannot teach.

S for Snakes {So many snakes}

We saw most of these guys at the beautiful Houston Zoo. Owen could spend all day & all night in the reptile house. Sophia was good to go after about 5 minutes...









However, this one was just 2 feet away from us at the Brazos Bend State Park.  
I wasn't getting any closer!
