Starting Summer

WARNING: Lots of pictures ahead! We got our computer back from Best Buy much earlier than expected (Thank you, Geek Squad!!), so I'm trying to catch up with photo editing and blogging.

So... this post includes everything we did at the start of summer up until our Vegas trip. Here we go:

We started our summer with a trip to the Houston Zoo with Natalie, Henry, and Kelsey.



The zoo just added a dinosaur exhibit. Guess who was excited about that?



Cuties on the playground



Silly kids



The next day, we visited Grandma and Grandpa Locklear in Deer Park.





That night, we went to Chance's principal's retirement party. While this may sound a little dull, I guarantee you it was nothing but that! Caldwell people can throw a good party! This was Chance's last official event as a Caldwell Hornet. It was bittersweet saying one more goodbye to some of our favorite people from Caldwell. But, we are definitely excited about his wonderful opportunity at College Station High School and working so much closer to home!

Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of Chance's principal, Mr. Meckel. But here are Chance, Coach Carrigan (athletic director), and Nathan hanging out by the lake



We had a few days together in College Station once Chance finished work. Our library once again offered "Big Rig Day", where all of the city vehicles park at the library for the kids to tour. I love free community events like this!





Not too happy to be closed up in the back of the police car!





Quick stop inside to check out a dinosaur book



Then, I went to a 4-day yoga training in Dallas while Chance and Cade had some male bonding time at home. Chance was great about taking pictures and texting them to me while I was away. But I cannot find them! :( They had a great time going fishing, playing golf, and seeing Madagascar 3. I really enjoyed the training but sure missed my boys!

Right before we left for Vegas, we took Cade to get fitted for his tux. He will be the ring bearer at Chance's cousin Matthew's wedding in a few weeks. It is no secret that Cade does not like wearing anything but athletic shorts and a tshirt (wonder where he got that?), so we were very pleasantly surprised when he was so good at the fitting and seems excited about wearing his tux!



More catch-ups later!
