The Great Escape

July served up more family fun and an escape from the hot South Texas summer as we took a trip to visit Braedan's Maimo and Daideo in New Mexico. While we were there, Braedan's Aunt Amy (or Mamy as he used to call her) and Cousin Ian were also there to spend some time with us. During the whole week of our visit, Braedan had a great time and spent a lot of it outdoors taking in the cooler mountain air. Here are a few highlights of our trip.

Braedan loves to spend time outdoors. If he had it his way we would be outside for most of the day, so you can imagine how hard it's been these last few weeks to say no to him when he asks to ride his bike at one o'clock in the afternoon during the hottest months of summer. But while in New Mexico he could go out at anytime of day and his favorite thing to do was help Daideo with yard work, and more specifically, drive his riding lawn mower.




Braedan's Maimo also joined in on the driving action and helped.

The cousins had fun at a nearby playground.
 







 
And earlier I mentioned our escape from the summer heat. Well apparently it was a little too much too soon for some of us. The slight chill in the air during our evening walks left some of us running to grab light jackets. Seeing us now makes it hard to believe that we once endured harsh, cold winters. Please excuse our shameful display of weakness, and take note that the hubby is wearing the heaviest jacket of us all. But what can I say...we are and always have been Texans at heart.

Kindergarten. We came, we saw, we are conquering (or in my case coping)

Well, we did it. We survived the start of kindergarten, we are six weeks in to be exact and moving right along like a well-oiled, sight-word...
