SPRING CREEK SWIMMING POOL FUN!

We joined the Spring Creek Club again this summer, for some swimming pool fun! What is nice is that several friends from school are members too so we are able to meet them up at the pool and play all afternoon!!

AFTER THE SPRING CREEK SWIMMING POOL FUN!

As the header implies, this is what Zachery and Zayne look like sleeping after a fun filled day at the pool!

 

PEROT SCIENCE MUSEUM

As summer is winding down, the boys are scrambling to think about anything and everything we can do that is "fun" before school starts.  So we went to the Perot Science Museum. We built race cars (I lost!) ... we experimented with wind ... were creative and made a crab out of paper ... played and put together giant dinosaurs ... and then ended our time doing science experiments!!

TRINITY RIVER AUTOBAHN CENTER ADVENTURE

Another adventure we took a very short hike around the Trinity River Autobahn Center.  It really wasn't exciting other than throwing rocks into the Trinity River and picking up sticks and complaining about the heat and humidity!  The Trinity River Audubon Center is located just ten miles south of downtown Dallas. The Center's 120 acres sits on a former illegal dump site, now a reclaimed haven for a vast array of birds and other wildlife in an increasingly urbanized metropolitan area. Anyways, we were able to have slurpee's after our adventure, so that made up for the lack of excitement.

NOT SURE WHAT ZAYNE WAS DOING - BUT FUNNY PICTURE!

FRISCO ROUGH RIDERS BASEBALL GAME

We finally made it to a baseball game this summer, it might not have been the Texas Rangers but it was the minor league team the Frisco Rough Riders.  We sat in the grass out over looking the outfield and had a blast watching the baseball game and eating hot dogs!  The boys ran around and found friends and wished they brought their swimming suits because there is an area they can play in a pool!!  We will definitely go again next year!

 

 FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

I seriously though I was going to be in tears, as I send Zayne into Kindergarten or at least he would be in tears.  Nope everyone was super excited.  Zachery was very serious and it was hard to get a good smile from him ... but I think he was excited about being in the big kid hall this year.  Zachery has Ms. Perkins this year and Zayne has a new Kindergarten teacher Ms. Madison. 

Actually this wasn't the first day of school, he actually wore this the second day of school! Everyone loved it!! He got a lot of attention, which is something Zayne loves :)

KINDERGARTEN MEET-AND-GREET

This post got a little backwards ... we had a Kindergarten meet-and-greet, where the incoming Kindergartners (and parents) could meet their teachers and classmates.  As you can see they rigged up a hose and turned on the water for hours of entertainment (okay maybe not hours, but at least 10 to 15 minutes.
