July 4th weekend

We managed to stay pretty busy for the 4th of July weekend! Sunday we headed over to the The Jefferies for crawfish and swimming. They boil the best crawfish and we always enjoy their company! Trenton and Drew (their youngest) play very well together. According to Trenton, Drew is his 2nd best friend! {his 1st best friends are all the kids on the street} It is so nice to have friends that live so close with a pool!

Daddy is really working hard to get Trenton comfortable with swimming. He did really well after a few times out, but still has an uncontrollable look of fear on his face.

The swimming was too much for this guy so he passed out on one of the chairs

Trenton thought the goggles were great. He would put them on and look under the water at the big boys playing!

All smiles as long as he stays near the steps

Red Sox Game

I know living in Houston area the title should be “Astros Game”, but we are just not big Astros fans; ESPECIALLY when they are playing the Red Sox. Trenton was so excited to watch Daddy’s friends play baseball. When we got there Gene took Trenton down to say hello to his friend Michael Boerne. He played with Michael in college so it was pretty cute for Trenton to meet him. Trenton was so overwhelmed when we first got there. He said “Wow, that’s a big baseball field”. He kept asking Gene “Daddy we cheering for the Red Sox because the Astros stink” Ummm…well honey I wouldn’t say that too loud!

Taking it all in

The game was very slow and since the Red Sox were winning I decided to take Trenton to the kids play zone. What a bunch of chaos that place is. Its kids running around like maniacs in a bunch of tubes. You just pray your child doesn’t take a wrong turn and end up on the opposite end of you!

Trenton insisted on popcorn. He wanted the popcorn that came in this helmet and he ate ALL of it just so he could wear it!

Since it was 4th of July weekend they had fireworks on the Saturday game. Trenton was super excited while waiting and watching the roof of the field open.

How beautiful!
