Visiting Daddy

We visited Daddy at work (Station 38). We ate Guacamole Chicken Burgers and cake. Here are some pictures of me and my daddy!

Pumpkins

On October 8th, Brooklyn and I visited the Froberg Farm in Alvin with some friends from work and their daugthers. We wanted to see a pumpkin patch, instead we found a room full of pumpkins. Needless to say, the pumpkin trip was a bust, but we picked up tasty fresh fruit and barbeque!

Bayou Wildlife Park

On September 5th, we visited the Bayou Wildlife Park with our BFF's Ja-chel and Jax! We had so much fun. We got to pet the giraffes and take a tram ride on a wild adventure.

Our trip started with cramming 6 people into Richard's truck. Normally, that wouldn't be too uncomfortable, but with 2 car seats and about 12 inches for two adult women, it was tight fit! So, I sat on the floorboard until we reached the park. On the way into the park, you drive along a long straight road, where animals can come up to the car and you can feed them out of the buckets of feed. The first animal that we encountered were the Ostriches... we pull up and Richard rolls down the window. They come right up to the car and peck madly at the food. Food was flying up in the air and all over the car. At which point, Brooklyn thinks her daddy is being mauled by an ostrich and she proceeds to scream bloody murder. Well, that makes the ostrich freak out and he pecks at the food more vigorously. Needless to say, we were doubled over with laughter and had to quickly roll up the window!

Me and my bff, Jax!

Ok, that's creepy! There's no way that's real! Funny fact, I remember seeing that here when I was a kid. Which means it's really old!! Hints the five pounds of dust caked on it!

Here begins the tram ride...

So, we bought 6 buckets of food! I think we were intent on feeding every animal there. Well, halfway through the tram ride, I get my first chance to feed the animals. Up walks this camel, and she proceeds to knock the food out of my hand! Yes, I was the only one who dropped the bucket of full. Did I mention, it was completely full! (That stinks!!!)

On the way back around the loop, the camel decided to make up for knocking the bucket of food from my hands!

Am I cool or what? We'll I should say, Am I hot or what?

Alright, I think I've had enough! Nice time to catch a quick nap!

Thanks, Ja-chel and Jax, for sharing in an unbelievable day of fun with us!

Fashion Statement

What's wrong? ... is there something on my head?...

What are pants? You mean they don't go on my head?

Brooklyn loves putting her clothing her on her head. She would rather wear her clothing on her head, than wear it correctly!

Here's to you Brooklyn! Make a fashion statement!

Playing around the house

Brooklyn loves to play with the airplane that Uncle Bobby got her. She also loves to pull the musical ladybug around the house. When you pull the ladybug, the music plays faster. She loves to try and make the music speed up!

Cheesy Macaroni

Here are a few pictures of Booklyn joying some cheesy macaroni (by Gerber). She really hated the macaroni, but loved playing with her food!

Well, that's one way to get clean !?!

July 4th Weekend

On July 4th, Richard worked over time for the City. So Brooklyn and I went to my parents to celebrate July 4th. Here are a few pictures of Brooklyn in her Patriotic outfit!

Jachel's

On June 11th, we hung out with the Hunt's that their Hizzy! We ate pizza and the kids played and danced until they both practically passed out!

Vacation

We took a week long vacation and went to Sam Rayburn Country Club on Lake Sam Rayburn. Our resort was about 10 minutes outside of Jasper. We spent two days at Martin Dies Jr. State Park. We went canoeing and bike riding. The canoeing trip was probably the worst experience of my life. We stuffed 5 people into a four man canoe. The lake had gentle waves, with no breeze and the canoe kept swaying back and forth. There were several times I was sure we were going to capsize. It was so HOT!!! Brooklyn cried and screamed the entire time. We rented the canoe for 4 hours and only ended up canoeing for about 30 minutes.

The next day, Bobby and Linda came up for the night, and we went biking riding at Martin Dies Jr. State Park. It again was so HOT!!

On Friday, We went to Ellen Trout Zoo in Lukin. The Zoo is considered an open concept zoo, you are able to see the animals in an open cage, well except for the really dangerous animals. Even though the enclosures were kind of small, it was nice to actually be able to see the animals.

The Lion enclosure was by far the creepest. There were thin metal bar that held back the lions. There were three lions in the enclosure. At first we only saw two, and then when Brooklyn started to cry, we saw the third lion crouching right below the bars where we were standing. The more Brooklyn cried the scarier and hungier that lion looked.

The Zoo also had a walk-in bird enclosure. You could walk in and follow a little path where the birds and squirrels were in arms reach.

This litttle raccoon was hilarious. He was spralled out on a log, acting like he was asleep. It seemed like he was playing a game with us.

The alligators were within arms reach. I almost felt like the gator could snatch off my arm if I bent over the railing too far.

Peacocks roamed freely all over the zoo. We saw baby peacocks and white albino peacocks.

Here are a few random pictures from the rest of our vacation.
