I'm a little pressed for time right now. Both kids are sleeping so I only have a short window of time to post anything before one or both munchkins wake up, so I'm going to post mostly pictures of all the fun we had this last week!
The following three pics are from Kid's Day, an annual event at Stroller Strides. The kids stay in the strollers during typical SS workouts, but on this day, the kids got to run wild and have fun. As you can see it was a beautiful day on the Bayfront in Corpus Christi!
Sydney has become obsessed with Corn Dogs. I understand they are not the healthiest, but our little girl needs all the fat she can stand, so on various occasions she gets her corn dog and loves the heck out of them!
Except when she gets to the stick!
We decided Sydney was a big enough girl to handle a weekend alone with Gigi (my mom). We met up with Gigi and Mimi (my grandmother) for lunch at Stonewerks in San Antonio, so Sydney and Gigi could get reacquainted with each other. They hit it off right away, even though it had been since New Year's since we'd seen Gigi. Sydney absolutely adores Gigi, as you can see in the picture, and the two of them had a fabulous girls weekend! We will definitely be planning more weekends like this for them in the future!
After dropping off Miss Sydney, Kris, Keaton and I headed to the SA Stockshow and Rodeo. Keaton was a champ and as content as could be during the rodeo and the Gary Allen concert. It was a great rodeo night, since it included the Champion Drive of the Steer Show. After many years of showing steers, it brought back so many memories. Can't wait for our kids to participate in 4-H when they get older! The three of us drove back to Corpus that night and had a relaxing (quiet) weekend! It's amazing how going from two kids to one is such a difference. It makes me wonder why in the world I thought having one kid was hard!
We met back up with my Mom in San Antonio on Sunday and afterwards headed to the Bass Pro Shop. I love this place and it's so educational as well! We had one meltdown when Sydney wanted to try on hot pink crocs that were a gazzilion sizes too big. I let her try them on so she could see they were too big, but apparently she thought they were perfect. Putting her shoes back on and convincing her we could not take the crocs was definitely a challenge. A kicking toddler is the wildest animal alive!
If you look closely you can see Keaton is sporting his camo in spirit of visiting Bass Pro Shop.
Popcorn and Forrest Gump is how we ended the weekend. It was so good to have Sydney home and our family back as one.
