Staycation

We have had a busy week during our staycation. I highly recommend the staycation if necessary. We found a lot of fun entertainment right here in the Corridor. Enjoy the pictures I attempted to document our adventures.

Day 1 - RAIN (Boo!) Mall Park and $1 bowling

The boys loved jumping all over the germ invested equipment at Lindale Mall. Wyatt made a new friend and Eli learned how to jump from the top of the shoe all the way to the apple. It was pouring outside so this was a way to burn off some energy.
Wyatt enjoyed bowling - even if he just got to watch. He found a ball so he rolled it around and it doubled as a chair at times (until he fell backwards and hit his head on the chairs). Eli did awesome he only needed the bumpers a couple times. He rolled an 89 and a 7-something the second game. Great job E! Who knows we may sign him up for league this fall.
Check out Matt's bowling shoes? They don't have these fancy shoes in V-town. Super cool!

Day 2 - Beaver Park, splash pad
We got to Beaver Park early on Tuesday b/c the weather was supposed to be HOTT! 100+ We had to wait for the zoo to open so we hit the playground for awhile. Wyatt was all smiles, as usual.


This is a common expression in our household. Eli is always hugging, squeezing and moving Wyatt around. One of these days Wyatt is going to get him back for all this. Here the boys pose on the pig with chipped ears.

Wyatt really enjoyed the duck area at Beaver park (wait we didn't see any Beavers???). You can't see the ducks but there are tons of them right below the boys.


Day 3 - Children's Museum, park then swimming

I was sad on this day b/c my camera died while at the fun filled Children's Museum. I did manage to get two pictures. This is one of them. After the museum we headed to the park to eat/play. With temperatures in the 100 plus we choose to hit the pool. The boys are doing great at swimming. Eli is getting more and more confident with the water every trip we take to the pool. I see a season pass for Summer 2011.


Day 4 - Lake McBride swimming and out to eat at the home of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - aka Leonardo's.

We met up with Wyatt's first babysitter Lani on Thursday at Lake McBride. The boys loved the beach and loved reuniting with the Vega family and friends. I on the other hand did decide that I enjoy swimming in water that does not include dead fish floating by - YUCK! Oh well it was cool, refreshing and did I mention free? We will hit the beach again soon.


Day 5 - We were supposed to go to Tucker Park on Friday. With the rain hampering our plans once again. We decided to clean the neglected house. Well we ended up rearranging the livingroom furniture. The boys enjoying finding long lost toys under the chairs/couches and their prize was sleeping on the hide-a-bed that night. (Well not W but Eli got to)



Phew! I am exhausted but I have more to share...tomorrow.
