Outdoor Fun!

Here we are at a park that has a great nature trail throughout. Eli calls it the forest and loves to go run around and read the "messages" (info plates) and look at all of the trees that have fallen.


Here are a couple of cute pictures we took at the "sand park" (as titled by Eli due to a sandbox by the slide). Zoie and Ryann love to hold hands and they just talk and talk. It's so cute!

You can't see it very well here, but we were walking along the path and Grammie spotted a tarantula! I couldn't resist posting because I've never seen one outside of a glass box!

State Fair 2007

We had a successful visit to the State Fair of Texas! This year was very fun as Eli is big enough to ride the kiddie rides and play games. Our camera went haywire and deleted all of our pictures, but Aunt Niffer and Uncle O took pictures as well and shared them with us!

Here we are at a little Harvest Scene where we take a photo every year! It's amazing to look a the transformation of the family!

Here's Grammie with the Grandkids!

This is Big Tex... a very big, speaking Texan. Eli wasn't too hot for this guy and held his hands to his ears when we were close. By the end of the day, we could get him to sit for a couple of seconds for a picture. He's trying to slide down Lance's leg in this pic!
Zoie and Eli had a great time riding rides together! They just giggled the whole time.
Here we are on a roller coaster!! Ryann and Lance were behind us before the ride started, but she proceed to yell "NO!", so they didn't go. She wasn't too hip on the rides.
Races on the big slide!! Lance and Eli won by just a small margin.

We also got to see a ton of animals (giraffe, ostrich, piglets, donkeys, and more), and played lots of games. These things will just have to linger in our memories! I do like technology, but boy losing those pictures was a downer.
