Mmmmmm tasty!

Mmmmmm Tasty!

Ava loved the firewords buy the breeze off of the water was too much for our little fireworks, so we mostly watched everyone else blow up their money. We brought our piddly little sparklers and fountain cones home to enjoy later.

Jim and Jes

Tom and Lori These are our friends that moved in behind us last year before Ike. Don't hold it against them they are yankees from Detroit.

These are our newlywed friends Billy and Jenny.


This is Carly and her boyfriend. Carly is Tom and Lori's daughter.

The moonlight on the water.

I didn't think I'd be able to capture this but I did!

We had an excellent time this day. We got down to the water about 4:00 and set up camp. We played in the boat, on the sand and danced to music with Ava. Later before dark we grilled burgers and dogs and popped firecrackers and just celebrated frienship and life. I am so thankful that we have found our way back to Bridge City and that here God has given me and my family great friends to share life with.

SPAR

The water park at SPAR (Sulphur Parks and Recreation) is so close that we use it alot. We have been about 4 times this year. These were from one of the times that we went recently. For us it is a great deal. It costs me 5 dollars to get in and Ava is FREE!

Daddy's Birthday!

Daddy had to work his birthday this year due to unexcuseable circumstances so we brought B Day to him.

Shang ri La Botanical Gardens

Yes this post is late and happened back in April I think. But better late than never.

We went to Shang ri La gardens in Orange, TX on the day that they had an Earth Day Special. There were lots of things for the kids to do and make. They even had some ladies singing music that the kids could play home-made instruments to and sing. Ava had fun and I got some great pics.
