one last bit of summer fun

Today Pearson and I met Anna and Westin for a little lunch date at The Purple Cow!!

Anna saw last week on my blog that I still hadn't taken Pearson to the Fairview Fountains on our Summer List. She had two coupons for free shakes, and The Purple Cow just so happens to be right next to the Fountains so we enjoyed a yummy lunch and then we each had a shake.  

I got a Dremsicle shake.   Pearson and I both thought it was super yummy!!

After we ate lunch we sat outside for a bit to let Pearson splash around in the fountains.  

 We went to a splash park 3 different times this summer.  

The first time he loved it, the second time he hated it, and the third time he was kind of indifferent, so I wasn't quite sure if he would really want to play in the water or not today.  

He was definitely not interested in playing in the water today.  

He really just preferred to run all around the water. 

 Mr. Westin just snoozed the whole time Pearson was playing. He is just too cute!!  I can't wait for them to be able to play together!!

I'm pretty sure Pearson's favorite part about our little lunch date was our dreamsicle milkshake. 

 He just couldn't get enough of it!!   But I don't blame him, because it was pretty darn good!!

Thanks Anna for inviting us to lunch and giving us the free shake coupon!!

a successful summer

I would say this summer was pretty successfull!!

We completed just about everything off of our list!!

We had lots of pool playdates.

We never played in the sprinklers because of the darn water restrictions this summer. 

And we never made homemade ice-cream.  My grandma did however make it for Pearson's birthday party so that kind of counts!! 

Matt and I had a date night. 

And we had donuts!!

We went to Top Golf.

Pearson ate a popsicle.

I went to Bible Study at FBC Wylie once but we didn't finish the study.  I missed the first week and third week so I was feeling really behind.  I know, it's terrible.  I'm a Bible Study drop-out.  I did keep the book so if my church ever does the Nehemiah study I can join in!!

We never made it to the zoo because it has just been too hot.  We may try to go this Saturday, but if not we will definitely go this fall!

We went out for Saturday Breakfast. 

We ate watermelon.

We played at the park.

We went to Baby Bounce.

We went to Story Time.

We played at the mall.

We went to a Rangers Game.

{Technically this was this Spring, but it's the only one we made it to}

We had a picnic lunch at Daddy's Office.

We played at Chick-fil-A. 

We went to the train park.

We went to a petting zoo.

 We went to Dairy Queen.

We went to the Children's Museum.

We went to the Aquarium.

We went to a spray park.

We got sno-cones.

We didn't make it to the Fairview Fountains, but have plans to meet a friend for lunch on Friday near them, so hopefully we'll splash around for a little bit!!

We fed the ducks.

Wow!! We were busy this summer, but I loved every minute of it!!  I had so much fun with my summer list that I decided to make a Fall List!!  Even though Fall doesn't officially start until later this month, to me, summer is over after Labor Day.  So I'll be kicking off our first day of Fall by sharing my 2012 Fall List with you tomorrow!!

I hope you enjoy your last day of Summer.  Happy Labor Day!!

a little slice of summer

Matt and I love watermelon, so I was excited to let Pearson have his first taste of it this summer.  Unfortunately, Pearson has not really been much of a fan of watermelon.  

We we got this picture at our July 4th session with Brooke Richardson.  I thought I was going to have to consider this our "watermelon experience" for the summer.  It looks like he's eating the watermelon in this pictures, but he put it up to his mouth and immediately threw it out of the wagon.  I'm so surprised she was even able to capture this picture. 

I've been trying to get Pearson to eat watermelon all summer long, but he just hasn't been interested......

.......until this week.

Instead of giving him little bite size pieces of watermelon, I decided to give it to him larger chunks.  It was like he was eating an entirely different food.  He loves it now!

Here are some pictures I snapped from my phone!!

Yum, yum, a little slice of summer right before summer is over!!

train park

While we were out running some errands at the mall this afternoon, we stopped at the train park for a bit.  Our summer is almost over so I wanted to squeeze in a quick trip to the train park. Even though it is cooler this week than it normally is in August, it was really still too hot to play outside.  I let Pearson run around just long enough that I could snap a few pictures, so we can mark it off our summer list!!

We'll definitely have to go play at the train park again when the weather cools down even more.

We only have a few more things to finish up on our 2012 Summer List.....
Sprinkler Fun
Make Homemade Ice-Cream
Zoo
Rangers Game
Fairview Fountains

sno-cones

I can't believe we waited until almost the end of summer to get our first sno-cone. 

Little man was in for a treat getting his first taste of  a sno-cone.

I got a Red Raspberry and Matt got a Banana Colada.  

 Pearson had a few bites of Matt's.  

But I'm pretty sure he more of a Red Raspberry fan.  

 See.....his face doesn't lie!!

Yum! Yum!! We might just have to squeeze in one more Sno-Cone trip before the summer was over because they were soooooooo good!!
