Memorial Day Weekend 2014!

We had a great Memorial Day Weekend 2014. It's hard to believe that Summer is here already.

First thing Saturday morning Paxton had the last game of his soccer season. His team, the Rocket Ninja Snakes, lost every game but still had lots of fun learning and playing soccer. Paxton ended the season with 3 goals and 7 blocked shots. He was also selected by his coach as Most Valuable Player.

Later on Saturday afternoon we ventured out to Katy Mills Mall for some family shopping and got into this. Kinda creepy to me but Pax had fun riding it.

On Sunday, Paxton and I made a day trip to Brazos Bend State Park to visit with our friends Jamie, Lisa, and Maxx, who were camping for the weekend.  We had been here before for a day trip back in 2012 to visit out friends Steve, Esther and Sammy while they were camping also.  

We had lots of fun! Highlights were seeing lots of gators while hiking and even getting to touch a baby gator at the Nature Center.  And of course the play area with a huge slide and swings was fun too.  Notice the "big kids" (aka Jamie and Lisa) going down the slide also. 






Maxx even showed Paxton how to play lacrosse and corn hole while we sat around the camp fire cooking and enjoying a few beers. 

Overall a great day outdoors with good friends.  I'm tired just thinking about all of the fun we had.




Big Slide @ Brazos Bend State Park

We visited some friends who were camping at Brazos Bend State Park for a quick day trip a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon for day a the park. The highlight for Paxton was the big slide and sitting by the campfire making s'mores.
