First thing's first:
We introduced the boys to a whooole 'nother experience and appreciation of culture when we took them to our friends' baby shower. It was an Indian baby shower and it made me love the culture even more. Our friends are of the Hindu faith so the music and traditions were so unique. Ethan was in awe over how colorful the food was and the fact it was vegetarian cuisine.
This stuff is like breath freshner. It looks like birdseed, but Brian and Ethan swear it's good and quite effective.
We scored Frisco Roughrider tickets from a friend of my mom. They were BOMB tickets too! Basically, we were in the shade, up close, and they were all-you-can-eat. There are little restaurant type things set up around Dr. Pepper Ballpark. You get a wristband and you can go eat whatever you want as much as you want. The boys chowed down. I, on the other hand, cannot eat like they do so I feel like it's wasted. There's even a specific place to get dessert- ice cream sundaes, apple cobbler, cookies, pie, etc. It's insane. The coolest part was Ethan got one of the player's to sign his hat.
The next day, we took the boys on their first-ever trip to Six Flags. We had free tickets and decided to use them. They were insane as soon as we entered the park! It was hot and they didn't even complain. You're not allowed to bring anything into the park to eat or drink because they want you to spend your money on their overpriced-mediocre-at-best food and drink. Meh. We did spend $15 on the plastic cup they offer because it's free refills all day, no limits. We went through a ton of drinks- mostly water- so it paid for itself at least 5x over. The boys are thrill-seekers. They love roller coasters and amusement rides of all sorts. Their favorite though? Anything water-ride related. They loooooved The Aquaman Ride and Roaring Rapids. The sucky part was the fact Caden wasn't tall enough to ride a lot of the stuff he wanted to ride. (Re: The Shockwave) Ethan rode all of those rides with Brian and would have ventured on them again and again. We had a great time and the boys are excited to go back again- just gotta make sure it's not anytime in July or August!
Lastly, we took a trip to Commerce to visit the planetarium at TAMU-C. It was great. We stayed for two shows. The first was about the local night sky for kids and the second was a lazer/light show to the music of U2 (Win!). We had a great time, the astronomers were so nice, and we even got to play around with the machine that tells you what your weight would be on the Sun, Moon, and the 8 other planets + Pluto.
Caden's weight on Pluto
Ethan's weight on Pluto
Their combined weight on the Sun.
Laughing at Brian looking (and reacting to) at his various weights within our solar system
Testing out their combined weights throughout the solar system
And for posterity: I found THIS at Half-Price Books. Double score!!!!!!!!
