Shooting Lesson

Bailey shot a bottle with a bb/pellet gun today. He did pretty good after Travis drew him a visual.

Learning About Magnets

Bailey was really interested in magnets today.

HOT Rangers Game

We went to a picnic and Ranger's game with my company tonight. It was over 100 degrees F with no wind to speak of. Bailey enjoyed meeting some new friends, but overall it was very hot and miserable. Travis' face in this picture pretty much explains it.

We left in the 6th or 7th inning and headed to a local restaurant for an appetizer and dessert. Then we got a laugh as we drove around this building to park to watch the fireworks. It is a bowling school and museum. I didn't know there was such a thing.

Bailey got to watch the fireworks from the sunroof as Travis and I watched from the air conditioned car.

The grand finale.

Learning to Read

Today Bailey did lesson one in "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons". 99 to go!

Crazy Hair and New Summer Tent

Bailey woke up this morning with box-like hair.

The new summer tent arrived today so Bailey and Travis tried it out. It was 91 degrees F when they went to bed. I didn't think they would last through the night, but they did!

Not a Tent

Bailey thinks this box of checks that we received in the mail today is a tent. He doesn't believe me when I tell him it isn't a tent.

Lady Bugs

‎"Imagine" by John Lennon came on the radio and Bailey asked "Is this the Lady Bugs?" Of course, he meant "Is this the Beatles?"

The Circus!

Lessons learned and thoughts about the circus:
1. Monster trucks don't fit in parking garages.
2. When did circuses turn into musicals?
3. What makes someone want to join the circus? In high school do you tell your friends you are going to circus school? How do you even join the circus?
4. My favorite part was the crazy human contortion/balance/strength act.
5. Bailey liked the elephants the best.
6. At the circus you can sell a $3 toy for $22. Yikes!

7. I was particularly interested in the whole mechanics of the production and the orchestra that had to play according to circus act. Very impressive.

8. I have great husband who dropped off me and B, found a parking spot on the opposite end of downtown, then left a few minutes early to run to the truck so me and B didn't have to walk across town.His truck won't go into downtown again. It is too big!
