Laborless weekend

Over Labor Day weekend we high-tailed it to Waco the second I got done at school to catch the Baylor game at 7. There was a fair amount of trash talking going on within the family, as Drew is a TCU alum and Baylor had an embarrassing low score against them last season. The game which we were at. With Drew and Karen. They couldn't make it to Waco with us, but we made sure to trash text during the game. And what a crazy game it was! Baylor ran up an impressive lead, only to let TCU come back in the 4th quarter, and from then on the end of the game was back and forth. But in the end Baylor won, knocking out TCU's winning streak.


Christiaan with his friends

We went down on the field and took a picture in front of the scoreboard to rub in Drew's face

The next day we cheered for TCU, as that is Juju's football team! He is #34.

It was BLAZING SCORCHING HOT but Nana saved the day by bringing her giant beach umbrella to sit under! Which made for an interesting time due to the gale force winds that were apparently left over from the hurricane or tropical storm or something.

Jazzy and her friend made a picnic behind the stands using some of the umbrella's shade

Jason and Juju. We celebrated TCU winning this time!

Its blurry because of all the action....Carter and Julius were wrestling. We were talking about how little we had to get onto Carter for doing something he shouldn't since the kids were around. He just loves them!

Carter is quite taken with Jasmin's play kitchen. Do they make them in non-girly colors?? Because he would really like that.

We Skyped with Uncle Brandon. Candice was already in bed. Elan is taking up a lot of room these days. :)

Carter put on Juju's shoes

On Monday we woke up to the most heavenly weather outside, and so we headed to the zoo. Carter loved feeding the fish.

They have a small playground area with a mini splash park, and Carter of course went straight for it

BIG kitty

Cousins

Jason, Edna, and the kids

The aquarium was definitely his favorite part

Alligator

He loved the slide through the otter pool

Giraffes

Rhino

This meerkat was just lazing around watching all his friends run around like fools. Jasmin said "Look Dada, he sits like you!"

The orangutan was another favorite. He(or she, I couldn't tell)was rather taken with Carter. They were giving kisses through the glass!

Look at his face!

Carter said "Bye bye, monk monk!"

Juju is strong!

After the zoo we headed back to Dallas. We had an awesome weekend with family, and ate lots of yummy food while we were there. We aren't sure when we will be back due to Christiaan's work schedule. Sometime soon though we will be making a trip to Austin to meet baby Elan when he makes his appearance!
