Puddles at Grandmas & PeePaws

Today we took the kids to Grandmas and PeePaws house where they had some toys waiting. Drake got a helicopter pull a long toy, and a fire station. Kera got twin babies with a twin stroller. Adorable! Thank you Grandma & PeePaw for their cute toys!

It had rained today, and the kids did not want to stay in the garage. Kera wondered outside and went for a little trip with Grandma to the side walk. She spotted a water puddle, and splashed her feet in it. Meanwhile, Dane locked my camera in a safe, so he had to get it out. I wanted pictures of the kids in the puddles. I didn't expect Drake to sit down in the puddle and play in it ;). However it made for a great Kodak moment, especially when Kera followed what her brother did, and plopped down in it. I don't know where they get their adventurous side from, surely not me as I never liked to get dirty when I was a kid - no candy because it melted on me - no dirt because it made me dirty - no snow because it made me wet and cold. Maybe it came from hubby, I don't know. I like that they are adventurous though, and I am glad that puddles make them happy, even for a few seconds.

After playing with their new toys, and playing in the puddles for a few seconds dinner was ready. They had hot dogs (we had chili dogs YUM), Mac and cheese, and a few french fries. Then it was time for strawberry short cake, where daddy loaded my plate full of it. Thank goodness Drake and Kera helped me eat a few bites. Today was a great day, even if we didn't go to the free museum day downtown Houston. I can't wait until we get our zoo membership, I have a feeling we will be going to the zoo A LOT.
Bonus picture: How cute are these drawings hanging in my mom's and Ned's living room - My nieces Faith and Savannah drew them! They are getting so big :(
