Saturday morning Toby decided he would take the kids fishing for the first time. Camping was out due to the extreme heat - we will have to try that in the fall, I guess. Friday night he took them to Bass Pro to pick out their own fishing poles - Barbie and Kung Fu Panda. They got up pretty early Saturday and he took them to a local state park about 10 miles outside of town. The kids had a blast, and they both caught one fish each. Abby cast, caught, and reeled hers in all by herself. She even took it off the hook herself, and was excited to tell me all about how it had actually gotten hooked in its eyeball. Gross. Beau got to reel his in and take a picture with it, but didn't want to touch it...kind of like the frogs we find in the back yard. He is happy to keep his distance. I met the crew at "Old McDonald's" (as Beau calls it) for lunch. They had a great time, and were really ready for naps that afternoon!
At the park they have a little "zoo" for people to come and see some animals. This is a 500lb wild boar. Toby said Abby is making this face because she didn't want to stand that close to it. I can't say that I blame her. That is the ugliest looking thing! I think the zookeeper guy came out and fed it an apple when the kids were there, so they got to watch that as well.
Toby said Beau wanted to have his picture in front of the raccoons. Random. The sign behind him is not so comforting...
Beau loves to play with his Star Wars and superhero action figures lately. Abby played with him the other morning with them for an hour or so, which was really nice for me!Abby is at dance camp this week every day from 9-4, which she is really enjoying. Beau is loving his one-on-one Mommy time, too. He is constantly "loving" one me and wanting me to give him lots of attention, so I guess dance camp came at a good time in his eyes! We are still going to the pool a lot and trying to stay cool in this crazy hot weather. We have been busy cleaning out the attic and the house because we are having a 3 family yard sale this weekend on our street!

your posts always crack me up! i feel like i am reading and looking at pictures of lilly (abby) and mamie (beau). i think our kids would be serious buddies if they lived close to each other. abby and lilly could dance, pose, primp, and play. mamie and beau could crash into things, climb, run, and tackle each other. i love all your pictures and you are looking so cute with your little belly! looks like such a fun trip to texas and the wild boar picture made me laugh out loud!
That's so sweet that Toby took the kids fishing! You guys are always on the go and doing something...I wonder if a 3rd kiddo is gonna slow you down any?!?!
I love the pic of Abby by the boar! the look on her face is priceless!
