Another Fun/Busy Saturday

This weekends workshop was at Lowes. Joshua built a powerboat! It was a pretty easy project and he absolutely LOVES his boat.

After the workshop we decided to go over to the zoo and feed the birds. This has become one of Joshua's favorite things to do at the zoo this summer. I haven't been to see him feed them yet, so we headed over there to spend a couple of hours.

After the workshop, zoo and coming home for nap time we headed over to our friends house for game night! It was a very fun Saturday and now we're spending Sunday afternoon resting to make up for it. :)

A Surprise Package

Mr. Star Trooper Himself!

Thanks Nana and Papa for sending such a cool gift!

Saturday Morning & Lunch

We went to Home Depot this morning for the Kid's Workshop. Joshua is becoming quite the little carpenter attending these workshops. We go to Home Depot once a month and we go to Lowes twice a month. It's a lot of fun.

Here we are going to the workshop.



The Finished Project
After the workshop we came home and made pizza's for lunch.

Joshua being silly wearing my glasses.

Friday night at the Gaylord Resort and Convention Center

We went out to the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center last night to see their fireworks show. They have a fireworks show every Friday night during the summer. And, expcept for paying a little bit for parking it's free to go. YAY!

Here's a picture of the resort/hotel.
Joshua sitting by the fireplace inside.

They have a huge model train display with trains going constantly on the tracks. I could hardly get Joshua to leave and go see the fireworks because he LOVED the trains so much.





Fireworks!

A very happy Joshua! We had such a great night!
We've definitely got to go back to the resort/hotel during the day so I can get more pictures. They have a really cool river walk inside the atrium of the hotel that you can walk around. It's made to look like the actual river walk in San Antonio, Texas. It was soooo pretty! They also have a horse drawn carriage you can ride around the resort.

WOW!

This stopped me dead in my tracks. What kind of gospel are we preaching? Living the Christian life is one of the hardest, most difficult things we will ever do. Living for Christ is not easy. It takes amazing courage to stand up for Christ and chose his way. However, it's the most rewarding, the most amazing ride you'll ever take. And, I wouldn't go any other way.

I pray this video will touch your heart the way it did mine.

Putt Putt Fun Center on Friday Night

We headed over to the Putt Putt fun center Friday night for some cheap entertainment. :)

We rode the go-carts, which Joshua absolutely LOVES.

Then he got to ride the airplanes.


Then we played some putt putt.
Joshua got his picture on the animals along the putt putt course.
OOPS! I guess Joshua hit the ball way too hard that time. I wonder where it went. (SEE BELOW)

oh, there it is in the water.




Playing some video games so he could win lots of prize tickets.


Joshua traded in his prize tickets for a SWORD. (of course) :)

Just Another Fun Saturday

At the Lowes Build and Grow Workshop this weekend Joshua built a helicopter.




Joshua spraying himself with his water gun. Just trying to stay cool in this Texas heat. He's such a nut and had a BLAST spraying himself in the face. He thought it was hilarious.
