State Fair of Texas 2008

I took off Friday afternoon and Ash and I took Turner to the great State Fair of Texas. I highly recommend our attack plan. It goes:

1) Enter
2) Find map
3) Find bathrooms.
4) Find carousel.
5) Ride carousel. (bathroom break)
6) Try Fried Coke (so-so after the first bite. Terrible after the second)
7) Visit Children's farm (bathroom break)
8) Ride Gondola to Fletcher's Corn Dog stand
9) Have corn dogs & fries
10) Walk back to entrance but first...
11) Have funnel cake and lemonade

State Fair of Texas 2008

So far this is the oldest I've ever been.

The Boys & the Beach

The Atlantic Ocean

Ashley got in on the fun as Turner convinced her to go down the water slide with him. We're back in town finally and the trip to west Palm Beach was great. Thanks to Lynn & Jackie for a great vacation! Enjoy the pics.

Rings at the Palm Beach Zoo Part 1

The Rings took the morning away from the beach and went to the Palm Beach Zoo. Not the biggest zoo in the world but it's laid out great and it's not depressing like the concrete jungle that is the Dallas Zoo. Turner had a good time but I think of all the animals he liked the plastic ones on the merry-go-round the best.

Rings in Florida

Here are some pictures of us at the hotel in Florida. Turn's having a great time! There's a water slide at the hotel that is pretty fast and Turner went under the water and came up coughing a few times. But man, did he love it. More pictures to come...

The bun in the oven.

Ashley is growing a baby in here belly and we have the pictures to prove it. It's always so much fun to see these little things that are 2 inches long with (thankfully) five fingers, five toes, brain, beating heart, etc. You might or might not know but Ash and I aren't going to find out the sex of the baby. With Turner, hearing the doctor say "It's a boy!" was such an unbelievable moment. One that I'll never forget. I think I'm going to have to change the name of the blog at some point though...

Turner can spell R-O-C-K-E-T and look cute.
