I See the Moon and the Moon Sees Me

This has been a great weekend, plain & simple. Friday evening, after eating one of the best meals I've cooked in a long time (if you can't brag on yourself on your own blog, where can you?!), we went to a park. Tripp and Max ran around the bases on the baseball field about a 100 times. A good way to ensure that both would sleep soundly through the night. Saturday morning began with a breakfast run to McD's and then to Palafox Market. Tripp loves the live music and seeing all the dogs that come along with their owners. That afternoon, we went to a birthday party for Jacob - not just any birthday party, but a Jumping Par-tay!

Tripp had a blast!

And so did Allen.

And so did Shannon.

ha!

Seriously, it was fun. Parents were encouraged to jump along with their kids, and JUMP we did! (although, we both feel like we need a trip to the chiropractor...)

The birthday boy, Jacob.

I think these two were on a party high-too much cake!!

After leaving the party, we drove to the beach in search of a snow cone - not for Tripp, but for Allen. We didn't find one, so we had dinner at Sideline's instead, and then played on the beach. This is Tripp's general expression when he sees the water...

He loves the water and the sand and the birds and the shells and the crabs and the fish and the boats...he is constantly pointing at things he wants Allen and me to see.

We generally respond with, "Yes, Tripp, I see the (insert item of interest). Thank you for showing that to me." I bet I say it a 1000 times a day!

I have two ideas about what the following expression is telling me:

1.) Mom, I bet you have no idea how silly you look chasing me around with that camera all the time.

2.)Mom, I know you don't me want to, but I'm definitely about to run in the ocean, regardless of the fact that I don't have on a bathing suit.

Option #2 was the apparent winner. He ran straight for the water and ended up getting his lower half soaked...and then his upper half. His pants were falling down so we eventually gave in to this...

"Yes, Tripp. I see the moon. Thank you for showing it to me, sweet boy." Good night!
