Memorial Day Weekend

Part 1: 1st Trip to Midland

Friday night we left as soon as Cole got off work to spend the weekend in Midland with my cousin Kaci and her husband John.  We had been wanting to go see them for awhile and were glad it finally worked out.  Kaci had thought of everything and we felt like we were staying at a resort!  Connor loved getting to see his "Auntie Kaci" and of course was spoiled the whole weekend with fun surprises!  He especially loves his new lawn chair and bubble wand! 

We went to lots of fun restaurants and had some yummy home cooked meals too!  I will have to post the recipe for the fruit crostatas Kaci made later.  It was too good not to share!

On Saturday they took us to the duck pond which Connor loved.  He started "chasing" the ducks all around and quacking at them.  It was too cute!

We also went to the Bush's former home when they lived in Midland for a little history.  Connor wanted to check out all the toys in George W.'s playroom.  

Saturday night we went to a drive in movie and saw Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.  Cole and I loved the drive in and are going to have to find one close to us.  It was so much fun! (and yes we had to use blankets in May!)  Here we are waiting for the movie to start... you can see Connor's Mickey Mouse playing in the background.  He sat in the back most of the time with Kaci and I and loved it!  

Kaci kept this little boy entertained all weekend!  He loved helping her in the kitchen while she made dinner.

He also had his first popsicle this weekend.  Kaci froze some of his apple juice to make one and he loved it!

Thank you Kaci and John for such a fun weekend!  We can't wait to see you again soon!

Part 2: Day at the Pool

Cole had Monday off from work so we took advantage of the beautiful day and headed to the pool.  

Can you believe how much he has changed in 9 months?

Connor loved the water more than I thought he would.  I actually am now on the search for some sort of baby life jacket because he wants to be free in the water!  He wasn't to crazy about being held or sitting in his float.

I thought this expression on his face was too funny of him trying to figure out how he was going to get over to the fountain!

We didn't think he would like it, but after he wiped the water out of his face he would point at the fountain to go again.

He was way too busy to pose for any pictures.

Even though the water was kinda cold, Connor would lunge himself in it.  He wanted to get his whole body in it.

Walking all over the baby pool

Having so much fun!
