Jump Fish

A few weeks ago our fish, Purple died. We woke up to find him floating in the bowl. Owen was upset at first. So, we dug a hole out back and put Purple in his new home. Then he wanted to go to get a new fish. Right then! He said he wanted a new red fish and this was the closest we could get to red. He knew what he wanted to name him before we picked him out, JUMP FISH. Don't know where that came from but that is his name...we call him Jump. It was really cute how he told the Wal Mart greeter about Purple. He made a sad face and told him that "Purple died and we put him in a hole." Then came the happy face when he shouted "and now we can get a new fish!"

My fish face!

The Gaylord

We did a staycation at the Gaylord a few weeks ago. It was great! The new pool is really fun with a lazy river and a kid area that the little ones can actually touch. The favorite was of course the lazy river. Owen still really loved to go back and forth looking at the trains in the lobby area. He, Piper, and Gran Jan ran the bases at the sports restaurant. It was really nice to spend time with everyone!!!

Happy 4th!

We had a great time at Mary and Big Tom's for the 4th. The kids swam and swam. We couldn't have been any closer to the fireworks than their balcony. We could see the men setting them off. It was a great show!!!
