Jeff took a day off so we could spend it together! First we went to the $1 kids movie at the Alamo. They were showing Speed Racer (the movie) and Axel was SUPER into it.
After the movie we went to the beach!
So nice to have a beautiful beach day! We stayed until we were starving for dinner!
Our friends Kate and Chris invited us to the Renaissance Fair (and enticed us with free tickets), so we went and had a grand time. Huzzah!
Axel insisted he wanted the sausage-on-a-stick. It was huge, and slightly inappropriate looking... But delicious.
Watching a Robin Hood performance. "Will Scarlet" (seen to the right) was Axel's buddy and talked to him a lot.
Kate playing the penny whistle. She is part of the roving band of musicians that plays at the beginning of lots of shows. Her husband Chris is mocking her with his own badly played whistle.
Watching Robin Hood and friends tie the Maypole.
Dole Whip pineapple soft serve! So good (although he insisted on the sprinkles, which was weird with the pineapple)
Axel got to go on this dragon swing. He was laughing and smiling the whole time!
The boys trying to pull the sword out of the stone.
We had a fantastic time! We didn't know what to expect since we had never been before, but it was awesome! We spent about 6 hours there! We saw jousting, sword fighting, knife throwing, and a fire whip act! Not to mention my friend Kate perform several times, and hang out with her husband Chris and sister Marie. As we were leaving, Axel yelled, "Where is Maroo? We didn't get to say goodbye to Maroo!" Meaning Marie. It was hilarious!
Jeff was recently featured on Blue Sky's social media accounts. Go Jeff! (He said he was going for the "stern mentor" look)
Trip to the zoo on a sunny Saturday.
We had fun making a light box and viewing the eclipse. We only had 70% totality, but it was still fun. We watched the total eclipse in Oregon live on TV, and that was soooo cool!
Meg kept her hands around her eyes the whole time we were outside! She sure didn't want to go blind!
Iron Man joined me for lunch one day.
Swimming with his best friend Meg.
The new grocery store we've been trying out has awesome little wheeled baskets, so Axel has enjoyed being in charge of that.
He was really tired this day, and was falling asleep during dinner!
WWE-style wrestling with Daddy. And I swear he usually wears a shirt, but lately we've been eating a lot of cherries, and I make him take his shirt off because its so messy.
The boys made a Ninja Turtle comic together
It really is the best thing ever. I can't believe how good Axel's drawings are! He and Jeff took turns drawing, and Axel came up with the dialogue. There are talks of sequels.
