New Jersey and Six Flags

When we went to Six Flags with Wes, Nikki, Rylan, Kyler and Delaney it was a super-hot day and very humid (I think more so than Texas!!). We had such a great time. Can you see how Wes decided to keep cool? Look closely.

If dad made you smile - then that is why I posted this picture :)

Dad's August '09 R&R

Bostyn is really enjoying her suitcase ride from Uncle Trev. Can she get any cuter? Grama is seriously concerned about Trevor's lack of ability to clothe himself properly.

After visiting with Fressia briefly and then a few days at the beach, we drove back home to Texas for a few days only to fly out to New Jersey for our next leg of our trip.

Considering that I hate to fly, we made out okay and even remembered to get some decks of cards at the stopover airports. I now have 309 decks of cards including some from 27 of the states and 5 different countries. Some may think this is a total waste of a collection but it is fun for me. I can hear my sons now after I die:
"Let's build a bonfire and burn 'em." Brit and Fressia: "I want those - don't even think about it!" Brad: "It'll be the best one ever and huge!" Brit: "Brad, you're not the prooooblem."

August has been a bunch of fun. I will recap now that dad has gone back to Iraq until his Christmas break:

This is our cutie Bostyn on the beach. Unlike her grama, she doesn't mind being pent-up - she was a happy camper! And you gotta love dear ol' dad in his wet suit here with Brit. We had a bunch of fun and we were so happy to see our family and friends.

More to come . . .
