Veteran's Day Weekend and Children's Festival with Poppers

On Friday November 9th, Matthew was in the Veteran's Day Program. He was a tee pee. Tee pee, tee pee, what do you see? I see an Indian looking at me.
Saturday morning Matthew had a soccer game and then we went straight to the Pearland Fish Festival at Bass Pro Shops. He was only good long enough to get these photos. After the photos he complained incessantly and convinced Tony to leave to go into the store.



Sunday, I attempted to do the Color Run 5K with Jacob in the jogging stroller. I had high hopes because he was so good for a run I had in Memorial Park the day before. Unfortunately, we had to wait at the starting line for 2 hours and we passed by a huge playground that was closed in Minute Maid park so he was easily distracted. By the time we got through the starting line (we were about the 10th heat), Jacob wrestled his way out of the stroller and I had to leave the run to avoid being trampled.

So instead we enjoyed the playground at Discover Green Park.


On Sunday we went to The Woodlands to visit Poppers and Grandma. Then Poppers and I took the boys to The Woodlands Children's Festival. This has become a yearly tradition for us.





They loved to drum on the Recycle Cycle.







Jacob decided that this outing was the time to practice his sprinting. Two separate strangers told me that he was going to be an Olympic runner when he grows up. He ran down the Woodlands Pavilion hill. Down the aisles of the concert hall during the stage. He wanted to get the wagon and take it back up the hill to the sandbox. That was not as easy as he thought it would be.
