Other Fun Summer Activities

We have found many fun things to do together over the past few months, here are some of our favorite:

 

Judah's 1st trip to the Museum of Natural Science to see the Dinosaurs!

Judah enjoyed himself, but Daddy was definitely more excited than Judah...he's sure that will all change in the future though :)

Picking strawberries at the local Froberg Farm.  Judah thought is was quite exciting to put the berries into the bucket and get to carry it around

Brazos Bend State Park- to see the alligators and do some hiking.  We saw many alligators hiding in the waters and even saw one jump in the water.

Galveston for Judah's 1st trip to the beach.  Our friends the Green's invited us to visit them one day at the beach house they were staying in.  Judah likes water and thought the waves coming in were pretty interesting and was willing to wade pretty deep. 

Jake even tried surfing!  Unfortunately no pictures of that as they primarily did this while I was putting J down for a nap.

The Houston Zoo: on our most recent trip the Chimps were very interactive

We have also been doing Baby and Mommy/Daddy swimming lessons.  Here Judah is learning to climb out on the side of the pool.

Finally, Judah has become very interested in music.  Almost as soon as he wakes up in the morning he says "song" and runs out to the music player and repeatedly requests the music.  When he's not outside, he can be found inside dancing to the music and exploring the piano or guitar.  He also requests "song" upon getting in the car. 

Given the improved 2nd year schedule, Judah and I were able to sign up for a music class together this summer.  The songs are fun and we have been enjoying it.  They also have a cute mini grand piano in the play room that Judah likes to play on.
