When we first go there, the ducks attacked our car (well, it looked like they were going to attack)!! So we fed them from inside!! Finally, other people came and dumped huge bags of bread out, so the ducks let us get out.

duck pond...
I have always heard about the duck pond in our neighboring town to the south. My friend Amy and I have talked all summer about taking the kids over there to let them feed the ducks and play on the playground. (summer is almost over....but we finally did it!)

melon jello....
Do not give me any credit for this creation! I first got the idea from my friend, Stephanie. She got it from this blog.
I thought I could try it, and it turned out ok.....
First you get any melon you want, I chose cantaloupe. You hollow out the insides.
Then fill it with jello (that you were making while hollowing out the insides). Then I put small cut up strawberries and blueberries in it.
Wrap it up (in your favorite snowflake Press 'n Seal) and refrigerate over night.
Cut it up and eat away...
(p.s. I don't cook, so if I can do it, it's gotta be easy!!)

we love the beach...
So, we went to the beach about two weeks ago....yeah, I'm just getting to the blog! Even though most people that read this have already seen the pictures, I'll go ahead and put some on here. (Between mom and I, we only took 556.)
A long while back, Derek and I decided we wanted to take Michael to the beach this summer. We decided to try to make a big famdamily vacation out of it and invite everyone! By everyone, I mean both sets of grandparents, all three uncles and two aunts. It ended up where only the grandparents got to go, but we had so much fun!
The original plan was that Michael would fly down with Grandma & Granddaddy, but after a series of events, he ended up riding in the car the whole 9 hours with us, Juice & Pa. He did awesome!! (Thank you to iPads and iPhones!)
We spent the days playing in the sand, shopping in Port A, riding in Uncle Marcus's boat, eating wonderful food and even making it to the Texas State Aquarium. Here are some of my favorites....
'flying' like airplanes
