Fire Station Field Trip





 
 
 
Austin went to Fire Station #96 today as a culmination of his "Fire Safety" unit he has been studying in preschool.  As one can see from the picture above, he has NINE boys in his class (4 girls) and they were ecstatic to visit the firemen. 
 
 
Fun Fact: These guys did not get the memo that we were going to show up--they did an AWESOME job letting the kiddos hop on the truck, shoot the hose, dress up in the gear, visit their kitchen, check out their sleeping quarters, etc.  One truck even left in the middle of our tour because there was a fire!

Motorcyle Man


"Look Mom, I'm a motorcycle man."

"Wow Austin, you look just like Damon!"

"I know, I'm on a motorcycle."

Moral of the story: this kid has not been to his Dad's jobsite OR ridden on a motorcycle!

Magical Monopoly Man



"Look, I am a magic magician."

"Ummm, Austin, I think you are the Monopoly man--a banker."

"No.  I am a magician."

Dancing with Stars (in their eyes)


Austin and Emery LOVE ballet and tap!

Dino Ride


The Houston Zoo has the Dinosaur Exhibit going on.  This one is buried in mulch in one of the green spaces of the zoo.  It was eerily empty at the zoo on this particular day, and Austin climbed the T-Rex and played on him uninterrupted for quite a while.

1st Baseball Game


Damon and I took Austin to an Astros game on a cool Friday night.  Damon acquired some tickets that included an "All You Can Eat" wristband.  Austin had a hot dog, peanuts, popcorn, and nachos.  He loved being able to walk up to the counter and order anything he wanted.  When he was full, he was done with baseball...and we left!

Running Piano



This piano is in the main hall of Moody Gardens.  It is advertising their next 'Discovery' exhibit.  It was a hit, and it kept the kiddos entertained for a looong time!  We had to pull them away so that we could go into the Rainforest Pyramid.
