Poppa. Oussss.

A couple weekends ago us and the Stone's loaded up and drove south to Bulverde! Poppa's house is always a highlight of our summer because there is SO much to do for a bunch of little boys! I named this entry "Poppa. Ouuussss" because that was the first 2-word phrase that Quin said. It was pretty cute, he said it over and over and over. Go Quinny!

We got there late Thursday night, so Friday we began our fun weekend. First stop was FISHING! My boys were perfectly content playing in the "forest" and with the worms...the daddy's and the Poppa fished the most but we caught nothing. Boo. But it was fun, Daddy got stung twice by a wasp, and the boys found sticks and made campouts. Fun fuN!

After a hot morning in the sun, we hit up the pool immediately! The boys loved it and so did the rest of us. It felt amazing. Quin LOVED the water, and Braidy swam and swam and swam. This is the trip he really swam by himself. The 2nd day he didn't even wear his floatie thing, he's an official SWIMMER! Yay! Crockett is not usually super fond of the water, but he was SO brave and even jumped off the hot tub to his daddy. Go C!

The next morning we went in search of the "Serengetti"...a place Poppa had been talking about for a while. We got there and they have golf carts for you to drive around looking for the animals, which is a really cool idea (they had a giraffe, a few zebras, an ostrich) but it was 130degrees outside (almost) and there were no roofs on the golfcarts, so after waiting a long time and seeing all the animals as they came up to the fence, we decided to forgo the golfcart ride, and call it a day. We still enjoyed seeing the fun animals...they were really cool!

Dad borrowed a Gator from a neighbor for us to use for the weekend, and it was a blast. I loved taking the boys riding on it, and every morning, Poppa took the big boys on an early morning ride. They were in heaven!

The last evening we were there, I had bathed the boys, had them all dressed and ready to go eat that night, and Quin went outside with JJ, and next thing I knew he was swimming (in his "nice" shorts) with the daddy's and Poppa. He thought he was so cool, and he was having the time of his life. So happy. 

We had an awesome time as usual. As we were packing the car up and getting ready to leave, Braidy, Crockett and Quin were in Poppa and JJ's bathroom, when Braidy walks out with some scissors he had found. Poppa took them away and we left town. He called me a little later because they found a big pile of HAIR (blonde-ish) in their bathroom as they were putting their house back together. I didn't see a place on Quin's head that had been cut.....until I bathed him that night. Braidy gave little brother a good little cut on the top of his head. Luckily you can't really tell unless you feel it. Then, Jessica noticed a little bald spot on the side of Crockett's head too. Looks like they both got FREE, BACK-TO-SCHOOL HAIRCUTS courtesy of Braidy! Lock up the scissors!
