Dallas
Dinosaur Museum
I love taking Brooke to new places. Everything is so novel to her and I can see her taking in her surroundings and soaking up everything.
Last week we went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. Brooke loved the kids’ activities scattered through the museum. Here are way too many pictures of our outing.

Believe it or not–a picture of me!

This next group of shots shows Brooke’s reaction to the huge dinosaurs. She was a bit frightened. We loved her expressions.
Since Caroline’s birth, we’ve been wondering if she would develop big eyes like Brooke did. We got our answer:
And just when we thought Brooke had finally grown into her eyes…

Lagoon
Dallas recently got a job at my Dad’s company–and not a moment too soon! We were able to participate in their work Lagoon day!
Brooke and I started off on the carousel.
When Brooke was scared, she’d ride with her hands over her eyes, like so:
Caroline was happy to sleep the whole time.
Since my parents were also at Lagoon, Dallas and I took advantage of their kindness and let them watch Brooke and Caroline while we did big-people rides. Even though it was a Saturday in the summer, there were hardly any lines. It was a fun day!

Cinco de Mayo – Day 31
Well, today is the last day of my thirty-one day marathon. Some of you are happy that I’m done since Rebecca hasn’t felt compelled to post anything and you are only here for Rebecca. For those of you who are going to have to have therapy from separation anxiety, I’m sorry that this has had to come to an end.
In honor of today’s last post I planned an event to give you something to read about. We celebrated Cinco de Mayo. The Latin American blood runs deep in our family. Rebecca and I spent a day in Tiajuana on our honeymoon.
To help us celebrate I built a pinata out of flour and old newspaper.
As it happens, the only spray paint we have is gold so it was our golden egg.
We invited the Fraziers and the Lintons to join us because it is more fun in numbers. We also invited another neighbor who was walking by.
I didn’t think it would take so much force to open up the pinata. It’s only newspaper and flour.
Ava, Emma, and Brooke loved the idea of candy!
We all got together on dinner and had a great Mexican feast.

My Surgery – Day 30
Today I found myself in the doctor’s office. It wasn’t a pretty sight. I had surgery which I’m kind of regretting right now. It hurts, it itches, and it’s bleeding like crazy. Rebecca and Brooke were watching and I noticed that Brooke wasn’t looking so good while she her dad getting cut open, so Rebecca had to take her away. That’s how bad it was. The pictures of my surgery are not for everyone so I have posted them on a separate page. Click here if you are brave enough to see them.
