Star Wars Concert
RJ has been taking Aidan out for "big boy days"...just Daddy and Aidan get to go. At the beginning of the summer, he took Aidan to a Star Wars Concert...there was a symphony playing the music from the movies (which Aidan loves...we will hear him singing Star Wars tunes as he plays), movie clips on big screens, laser show, and characters to mingle with afterward. When they got home and I asked Aidan about it, I could tell that he loved it and was so proud to have gone to it with his Daddy.

Father's Day
We didn't do anything special for father's day...just hung out and enjoyed the day. The boys surprised their daddy with matching "My Dad's a Rockstar" t-shirts...pretty cute!
The Great Wolf Lodge
Every summer my parents take all the grandsons on a vacation, and I am lucky enough to tag along since I'm not working. This year, we went to The Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, TX. The room was adorable with a log cabin cubby for the boys to sleep in. The main attraction is an indoor water park, which the boys all loved. They also have a really cool scavenger hunt that is somewhat modeled after Harry Potter. Each kid gets a "magic wand" and a clue book and they wander around the hotel trying to accomplish these quests. As one of my good friends put it, "you have to have a doctorate to be able to figure this thing out!" The younger ones teetered out, but Sage and I beat the dragon...after 2 days...and that wasn't even the end of the game!!! It was a really fun trip and a great place to go with kids!

The water park...the boy's favorite part was the huge bucket that dumped tons of water every 15 minutes or so.

Aunt Candy met us for dinner one night...everyone loved seeing her!!!

Trip to Victoria
We went to Victoria for my mother-in-law, Mona's, birthday and redecorated a bedroom in her house for her. We stripped the wallpaper and painted the room. RJ took his mom to pick out new bedding. And, he replaced the blinds with faux wood ones. We have all been helping them redo the upstairs of the house for a while, and we were happy to add this to the makeover.
Aidan helping us paint...he was so proud and will point out to everyone that looks at the room which corner he helped with!
We kicked ourselves for not taking "before" pictures, but these are a couple of the "after" shots.
More of our summertime fun to come...
