Raz's School Picture

it's official, he's a pre-schooler!
a photographer came and took some pictures of the classes at raz's school - i was hoping there would be a photo of the whole class, but it was only individuals. it's been a month and he still loves it. he keeps asking if he can go every day... i'm sure that will change in a few years!

Family Vacation

We just got back from our short trip to Tarpon Springs. Raz had a great time in the huge pool at the resort. What a nice place it was! Nice and quiet, but close to a lot of things to do. The biggest plus was the fact that there were six pools, but we were right across from the biggest pool, the Loch Ness. It was just what we needed! Raz spent every spare moment there. We also went into the town of Tarpon Springs, took a boat ride and saw some dolphins. We also went to the Florida Aquarium in Tampa - another nice (and fairly cheap) attraction - we have an annual zoo pass, which got us 50% off the admission! (You know me, always excited about a bargain!) It was a nice relaxing long weekend for us...I can't wait to do it again!

Liki Tiki

On Saturday we went to a local timeshare resort - Liki Tiki - and played in their pool/water "park" area. Raz had a blast, but after about two hours, we all looked like prunes and needed to get out of the water. Raz was reluctant to leave, saying "I'll never see this place again!" I hated to tell him, but since we didn't buy a timeshare, he was probably right...

bobby's big fish

bobby went on an off-shore fishing trip last week, and this was his big catch. looks like they had to cut the tail off just so it would fit in the cooler. it might look ugly, but it tasted good!

lemonade and M&Ms

besides wearing the glasses that belong to mr. potato head, and making his "funny face", raz has come up with some other doozies. he just found a dollar bill folded up on my nightstand. he came to me and asked if he could use the dollar to buy some lemonade and "m's and m's". i told him yes, but that he would have to wait until after breakfast!

July 4th Fish Fry

Here's Raz at our annual 4th of July fish fry. The menu featured Bobby's famous swamp cabbage (and I hate to admit it, but there was none left over!). Raz had a great time climbing trees and playing catch with Lily, a black lab pup. At dark we shot off fireworks, but Raz was happy with the flashlight that our friend let him play with. What a simple boy...

A Birthday Party

Yesterday Raz went to Paige's third birthday party! What a good time everyone had...Paige's dad built her a treehouse, and it is SO cool! And of course there was lots of water - 2 pools and a slip n slide! And cake too - Raz managed to eat two pieces...like father like son...
