Blueberry Hill

On Saturday we went to Bluebery Hill.  We did not see Swiper but we did get 2 gallons of blueberries!  :)  That may sound like a lot but you have obviously never met these 2 blueberry loving monsters.  I will buy a pint and it has been known to be gone before we leave the store. :)

Sister looked so cute with her bucket. :)

Sugie did a great job of picking only the ripe ones. 

We all ate a few (or alot) along the way. :)

Sister loved picking the blueberries.  About 1/2 of them were ripe. :)

We kind of got a late start to the day so it was pretty toasty by the time we got there but the girls still had fun and Sugie was picking them all the way until the end.

This is what we all looked like when we were done.  Sweaty monkeys!  Lucikly they had blueberry frozen yogurt and it was AWESOME! 

Sister liked it too.  She was cooled off because she poured cups of water on her head. HA!

This is how it has looked around here this afternoon and evening.  These 2 blueberry monsters eating away! :)

Children's Museum

We went to the Children's Museum in Dallas on Thursday.  We had a lot of fun but for some reason I always feel diasppointed with that museum.  We haven't even been since Bailey was a Bailey and probably won't go again for a while.  It is expensive and they just don't seem to maintain things.  I was helping Bailey go to the bathroom and Mckenzie was picking up broken tiles that were on the bathroom floor and throwing them!  Yikes!  Anyway, here is the pics from our day.

Bailey making bubbles

Making the ball float

The last time we were there this was filled with sand.  I really liked the rocks. Much less of a mess!

Cutie!

Sugie digging for fossils

Doing a little harvest gathering

Not sure how sister knew what a chicken was but she walked right up to these and said chicken.

They both loves the water room.

Taking a water break.

LOVES water!

Sugie the fireman

Playing at the sand table

Sister loves sand.  Can't wait for the beach.

They both loved this balloon!

You hold the button and up it goes.

Seriously Roaches? GROSS!

Practicing her gymnastics skills

Riding the tricyle.

It was a fun day!



Beautiful start to the summer

It's June!  Crazy how time flies by right now.  Anyway, the weather has actually been pleasant for the beginning of June in Texas.  So, we have been taking some trips to the parks in the neighborhood.

And stopping along the way to pick some flowers.

Mckenzie taking her shoes off and playing in the dirt as usual!

Bailey being brave and climbing the wall.  This thing is TALL!  If you have small children and their Dad doesn't take them to the park then make sure that he does!  I think it is really good for kids. Bailey has been learning to climb this wall since she turned 2.  I am not sure that I would have let her try when she was that young but you know how dads are.  They worry a little less. :)  I am sure Mckenzie will be climbing that thing as soon as her legs are long enough to reach  the pegs becasuse that girl is part chimp!

Museum Take 2

ON Thursday we went back to the children's museum in Commerce!  It is such a fun place with so much stuff to do.  We were there 3 hours and still didn't do everything!  We had gone back in December but it was more fun this time now that Mckenzie could walk around and enjoy things!

SHe loved this magnetic board a lot!  Perhaps I need her daddy to make one.

Bailey pushing the bell on the railroad crossing!

She went over and put her head in this and said, "Mommy take my picture!" HA!

This girl loves some sand!  Can't wait until we go to the peach.

Phoenix and his mom and brother went with us too.  He was in charge at mission control.

Sugie seeing if she can feel the shoes of a fireman.

Our neighbor Joyce and her son Sean went with us too.  Him and Mckenzie are a few months apart.

Bailey did her usual shopping.  She goes shopping with me so much she should be able to get all the groceries, use her coupons and price match by now.

Sister joined in the sand fun. :)

Ride 'Um cowgirl!

Mckenzie with shoes on her feet!  It was a fun time and I am sure we will be back soon!



Here and There

Just a little cell phone pic catch up from our days.  It's summer now.  As a teacher I looked forward to summer so much!  Now, that I stay home I still like summer for swimming and splash parks but man everything is more crowded! HA! :)

Mckenzie is getting so big!  When we go to the bounce place she loves to play with the balls and is learning about the bounce houses too.  She concentrates very hard on being able to jump

Bailey plays hard when we are there and when we go we almost always have the place to ourselves.  I have a feeling there will be more people now. :)

We went out to my parents campsite for the evening over memorial day weekend.  I am not camping until Mckenzie is older. HA!  When we got there Harpie was snoozing away in the chair.  It cracked me up!

Mckenzie thought the ladder ball stand was a gymnastics bar.  :)

No, there were not fireworks.  I have no idea why she has her hands over her ears.  Being a crazy girl as usual. :)

Finally here is Mckenzie at Music McDonalds.  I love that it has a good little toddler area for her to play.  I just wish they could get better food. BARF! :)
