Flashback Friday

Oh, wait. It's Thursday. Oh well. The title is cuter that way, so we'll just go with it. Anyway, because I haven't been great about blogging, I have lots of pictures to show you. I mean, I can't believe I haven't even told you about this yet. It was so fun! What was so fun? The Great Wolf Lodge, of course! 

What do you do at the Great Wolf Lodge? I'm so glad you asked! Because, as I mentioned, it was so fun! 

We watched someone make balloon creations (mine was a sword),

Rode on crazy carts,

Ate delicious donuts,

Crawled around like wolves,

Sat on giant bear things, 

(I really tried to eat the stuff on his head. Don't be fooled like I was, it isn't real.)

Drove a pink bus,

Played in the arcade,

Opened doors with our cool bracelets,

(Well, the grown-ups did. I sure did try though!)

Watched Aunt Abby work (on vacation!),

And listened to a bedtime story read by a raccoon.

(Yes, you heard that right. See, there he is!)

Everything was so fun that I often had difficulty getting back to the room and had to be carried!

But there were definitely some tender moments like this one!

So is that all we did? NO!!! There was so much more fun to be had, but it's time for bed now, so I'm going to have to leave you waiting in suspense until tomorrow to find out what else we did! Good night!

Choo-Choo!

Last weekend our travels took us to Houston to visit Aunt Sarah! She took us to this cool place, and guess what I got to ride?!?!? A TRAIN!

First we had to wait in line with our tickets.

Well, Mommy and I had tickets. Daddy, Aunt Sarah, and Riley Cates just watched us. Boy, did they miss out on a good time!

Mommy and I had a lot of fun riding around the pier looking at all of the cool things to do. And we even went through a tunnel! But it's hard to get a picture of those because they are dark. So you'll just have to take my word.

Then we got to ride on this guy:

That was a big ferris wheel! Riley Cates was excited that she got to ride this time!

We had such a fun day!

CORN!

Since all of our fans have been asking for more pictures and blog posts, we don't want to deprive you any longer! We are back by popular demand! I know you are all excited! We have been busy over the past few weeks (months), which means that we have lots of fun things to catch you up on! We just got back in town yesterday, so we'll let Riley Cates tell you about the fun she had at lunch at Popeye's. You never know where you will find an adventure! 

**********

I love corn, but I have never seen it quite like this. What am I supposed to do? How do I get these things off?

And why is there a big stick in there?

Should I take it out?

Or maybe it will be easier to take the kernels off this way...

Or is it a straw? Maybe I can drink it?

Yeah, that doesn't seem to work either. Please pass the french fries!

Guess Who I Saw?!?

Any guesses where I went today?! If you guessed the South Carolina Spring Game, then you win! My first experience at Williams-Brice, and I was one happy boy!

 

 

GO GAMECOCKS!

 

 

It was really cool because they played this loud music, and then some people ran out with the biggest flags I have ever seen!

 

 

As if that weren't cool enough, the football players ran out through some smoke! (Don't worry. They meant to do that. There wasn't a fire.)

 

 

All of the guys lined up and one of them kicked the ball way up in the air. Then some other stuff happened and everyone was running around on the grass, falling down, and pushing people over.

 

 

All I know is that it was super loud.

 

 

I even tried to hide in Mommy's lap to get away from all of the yelling!

 

 

But then Daddy got me some peanuts, so I was happy again!

 

 

Did I mention that I got to go with Aunt Abby, too? She loves the Gamecocks, and she gave me my fun face tattoos!  

 

 

And this girl sat in front of us. Doesn't she have cool hair? Just kidding. That's not really her hair. It is a pom pom. I was a bit jealous that I didn't have one!

 

 

I really didn't want to leave without meeting Cocky. We walked around and got pretty close. So we called him very loudly, and...

 

 

He came over and gave me a high five! Best Day Ever!

 

 

I played a trick on everybody when we walked back to the car. I found some great bushes to hide behind.

 

Surprise!

 

 

Is is time to go back to the game yet?

(And, no, Riley Cates did not get to come with us today. The game was right during her nap time. She'll have to wait and meet Cocky another time!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bike Road

Clearly the best thing to do on a Tuesday night is to unroll a few rolls of wrapping paper--a variety is best--and make a bike road! 

You need several layers to make it extra comfy! It is really fun! You should definitely try it!

Riley Cates was already in bed when I did my building for the evening, but I am including a picture of her from earlier in the day because I just love my Sissy! 

Walking

Exercising is hard. Just sayin'.

Fun at the Mall

At first I was afraid; I was petrified...

But then I loved riding on the carousel! This froggy went up and down and round and round!

Sissy got to ride too! She liked it for a minute, and then she just wanted Mommy to hold her. That's ok. I think she'll like it one day!

I wanted to keep riding my froggy, but we didn't have any more tokens, so I found this cool bus to drive! It was indeed a fun bus, just like it says at the top! 

Then I drove the big red truck, but I didn't get very far. It was still pretty cool.

(And in case you were wondering, these pictures were actually from a few weeks ago in Columbia. You know, that long time that I didn't do any blogging. I do have some fun pictures to share, so I'll get you all caught up!)
