5th Grade Camp

Guess what Callie brought home from camp???
Strep throat. Hurray!
But she did apparently have a great time fishing, rock wall climbing, orienteering, learning archery, team building, etc! Porter went along as a chaperone. My goal for him? To find out who all the rotten boys in Callie's class are. Success!




Team Katniss

Guess who is getting Callie's vote? Girl Power!

Universal is the Bomb!

The Disney Performance



Or as Porter likes to call it, "The biggest marketing scam, EVER!" Your child gets to dance on a Disney stage (which by the way, isn't even in a Disney park - it's in 'Downtown Disney'), and in exchange, you get to take your entire family on a week-long vacation where the cost of admission alone to the parks for the week is over $2,000. Ummm, yep, they got us. hook. line. and sinker.

But look at that smile. We are proud suckers!

The Lion King

 
 
When you get to a show early, you get primo seats.
When you get primo seats, guess what? You are asked to participate. ALL OF YOU!!!


The Wizarding World




The only thing disappointing about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was the size. I need MORE! It was In-Credible! And for Callie, dreams did come true! We would go back to Universal Studios without question. GREAT!

Summer Fun with Nana & Grandpa







 
Better late than never! The girls each enjoyed a week with Nana and Grandpa this summer. They went to the Dr. Pepper and Texas Ranger museums, golfed, swam and shopped till they dropped. We ended the summer at their house too. Porter's band, Shotguns Ready played a benefit for the Boy's Club in their backyard. Guests of honor were newly engaged couple Jarrett and Kristen!
