Decatur, Zoo, and Caddo.....we've been busy!

When I take Cassidee to Granmommy and Grandaddy's house there is never a dull moment. We were driving down the driveway to go eat supper and my dad noticed a snake in the road. Instead of reminding Cassidee that we stay away from snakes they got her out of the car and had to get a closer look at it. I thought she might be scared---she wasn't!

A little bit closer look!

Cassidee's busy day consisted of....

Playing in the sandbox with Grandaddy.....

Flying a new Nemo kite.....

Riding Clip Clop.....
And eating an ice cream cone.....
It was a good day for Cassidee!
Thursday we had fun going to the Fort Worth Zoo with Shara and her friend Leslie. Leslie's daughter is Haven, and she was precious. Maddox was the man of the day. Here they are, ready to hit the zoo!

"Let's go, Momma!"
Checking out the alligators.
Smiley girl by the zebras!
Then, being the busy people that we are, we took a weekend trip to Caddo with some great friends. Jeremy and I haven't gone in 4 years, I think, and we were so thankful that we got to go this year. I knew Cassidee would have a good time. I had no idea that she would cry when we left.
Here's just some of the fun that she had:

Playing on the bed in the motor home with Reagan.

Check out those two happy girls!

Jodi is brilliant and bought bubble guns for the kids. She was sweet to help Cassidee learn what to do with it.

Cassidee, the bubble gun pro. She loved it!
Here she is telling Reagan to help her pop them!
This was great entertainment for two little girls!
Jeremy had some fun himself! I'm so thankful that he is a little more careful than his brother on a motorcycle. (Ha Ha Trevor!) He got on and convinced Joe that he knew what he was doing.....I think he just went up the road and figured it out. He was on it every time it was available. Dad, Jeremy says to buy a couple of these!

This was a good corral for the kids when we wanted to keep them away from the bubbles, the lake, the bridge, the food, the house......


Jeremy has discovered the greatness of little girls since having Cassidee. Here is one of his favorite girls right here. I think Reagan likes him too!
Watching a movie on the bed. It was a cute picture, although they didn't stay like this for more than 30 seconds!
I know this is totally blurry, but this is Cassidee's new thing to ask Jeremy for, "Fly, Daddy!" Luckily, he doesn't seem to mind honoring her request. I'm not going to lie---it makes me a little nervous when her neck and back jerk backwards---I guess he knows what he is doing!
Sitting on the bridge, looking at the yucky water!



Walking with daddy---just a sweet picture!

Her first motorcycle ride. Thanks Aaron! She liked it, despite the look on her face.
And, thanks to Adam for taking her for a ride on the 4-wheeler. There are some great daddies that have fun with the kids at Caddo!
Danny (who is also brilliant) set up a tent just for the kids to play in. What little girl who wouldn't want to play in a tent with Barbies, make up, and purses. Cassidee sure did think it was fun!
Ella put some make-up on Cassidee.....




Then Cassidee put some make-up on Reagan!

Then Cassidee tried to convince the boys to open up some nail polish for her. Too bad it was really "stuck!"
After the make-up it was back to the dirt for my little girl!
Still inseparable, Cass and Reagan ride the little 4-wheeler.....
....and the Barbie jeep.


See, don't you understand why she would cry when we left. She had soooo much fun, and is still talking about it. She also may have cried because she was so tired from lack of sleep and it being 3:00 with no nap yet......
Still, we had such a great time! Thanks to everyone who made the great food and let us crash the Caddo party! We can't wait to do it again!

You are the first one to post Caddo pics, and that makes you awesome!

Jodi said...

Amber, it is just because she was the first one to leave.

Love the pics. We had SO much fun... Reagan misses her sweet friend! And I miss mine! :)

Cassidee looks so much older in these pictures. How can that be?! She is growing up so fast! I will have to walk Lola to your house this week. I googled your address, so I can find it - I think, but I will be sure to call first, I promise!

Looks like y'all have been having tons of fun lately. If we had been back at our old house, Caddo wouldn't have been very far to see y'all! But we're not. Shad was living on Caddo when we met. Anyhow, hope you're feeling good--y'all are in our prayers each day!

Ok, you must tell me what this Caddo is. It looks fun! Can't wait to see your sister's wedding pictures.
