Memorial Weekend

This last weekend we took the boys to the lake, which is always so much fun. Parker was so excited the whole week before to go fishing. He got a new Batman fishing pole, which he slept with every night, just for the lake. Parker also loves to ride the Jet Ski's but this time he was a little nervous. Last year he fell into the water when Daddy tried to lift him onto the boat dock. But his Aunt Kathy talked him into trying it one more time. He loved it until Phillip threw all three of us off into the lake. After that he was done. On our way home on Monday we decided to take the boys to the Abilene Zoo (our goal was to wear them out so they would sleep the whole way home). The Zoo was so much fun. Parker's favorite animal was the lion. Beckham favorite was definitely the giraffes. He was fascinated with them. He was smiling and laughing and clapping his hands at them. It was precious. He actually cried when we walked away. Phillip and I had a good laugh as well as a few bystanders while we were in the aquarium. Beckham is TERRIFIED of the turtles. It was the funniest thing ever. He was pretty much hyperventilating. It was a great trip and we can't wait to do it again.
