They grow up way too fast...

We were at the park with Carson this afternoon and Harrison decided he wanted to climb this HUGE boulder!  He did it with a little spotting from his nervous mother and then scooted to the other side where I could barely reach him to grab him and help him down.  He did it once and then wanted to go right back up there to announce to everyone within earshot at the park that he climbed on top of the rock!

Safari Adventure...

We had a great adventure down to Glen Rose, TX, to the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center.  We went with my other adventurous friend, Lindsay, with her sweet kiddos, Christian and Bella - we love them! What a day we had!  We drove through and fed virtually every kind of deer and antelope, a vulture, some bison, rhinos, ostrich, cheetahs, zebra, and our favorite, the giraffes, who we fed by hand.  The kids LOVED it!



Back from St. Louis....

We had a great trip to St. Louis, filled with many adventures and visits with family and friends.  Here are some of the highlights!

We started with a trip down to the Keim's Farm.  (Probably, one of Harrison's favorite moments!) He got to ride on Uncle Doug's bulldozer and operate the scoop - pretty darn cool!  Harrison thought he was hot stuff!

My sweet neice, Avani!!  She is adorable!  Oh, I can't believe it will be 3 months before we see her again.



Steve with his new set up for cooking up some meat at the lake!  He has officially joined Uncle Greg's Annual Native American cooking demonstration! 



Here is the result - a big hit - yummy ribs!

 

A little beach time....

Most of the the great grandkids....we were missing a few who had already left the lake.

And to top it all off - another favorite of Harrison's - his first professional baseball game to,

of course, the St. Louis Cardinals!
