We never slow down, that’s for sure! And last month was no different. We broke in the slip ‘n slide and hilarity ensued. It’s fun to be thrown across a piece of wet plastic on a hot day. Dad called it Toddler Bowling for some reason…check out the video to see why.

We also had a visit from Great Aunt Sarah. She wrapped up her Texas tour with a stop in Plano. We had a late-night pool party to celebrate her birthday (a little early) and we sang “Happy Birthday” using microphone cupcakes that Mom made.

As for our independence on wheels, we finally talked about bikes so much that Mom and Dad caved on a recent trip to Target. We are hot rodders now! Watch out on the sidewalks of Duval Drive.

And speaking of independence, we celebrated America’s independence by watching fireworks for the first time. “It’s just like on TV!” said Mason. Mom and Dad hope it was a tad better. We had glow-in-the-dark bracelets, binoculars, and ice cream. Mom and Dad even let us stay up until 11:00 that night!! They said something about paying for it the next day, but we couldn’t hear them through our yawns and squabbles. We did make the most of the long weekend though with a visit to the natural science museum and wildlife sanctuary. It was hot, but it was an adventure. We saw a butterfly garden, took a hike, and saw some robot animals. “I don’t yike the tiger,” Morgan says.

Check out the photos and videos to see us in action. Stay cool!
