Texas Rangers Game

This afternoon, after the Dallas Arboretum, mommy and daddy took us to see the Texas Rangers. Here we are, enjoying the game together. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!! Grant and I got to yell as loud as we wanted! That NEVER happens! Here we are in front of the Texas Rangers Stadium. :)
Cheering on the Rangers with Daddy's help (sometimes we didn't know when to cheer or when to boo). Did I tell you about our diggs? Daddy's boss, "Boom", set it up so that daddy's office could have a private box at the Rangers game. We had our own food and an air conditioned box, with access to balcony seating on the third base line. WHAT A VIEW! This is the life! Peek-a-boo baby brother! He's kinda cute. Here I am in my new pretty pink Texas Rangers hat. And Grant got one too!!! We're special.

Sleeeeeeeeeepy

I had so much fun at the Arboretum that I fell asleep on the way to the Rangers game - even with my headphones on!!!

Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens

This morning, mommy and daddy took us to the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. They had so many interesting things to see!! There was a bamboo forest, real growing ginger, huge rosebushes taller than my head, giant orange fish, real tadpoles that mommy told me will turn into frogs someday, giant squirrels, birds, a lake with pretty white sailboats that remind me of Great Uncle Lev and Dabi, amphitheaters, fountains and ponds. They also had some really cool storybook houses along the path for Grant and me to play inside. We had so much fun exploring!!!

Peter Pan's Storybook House (aka Pirate Ship)

LOOK! We found Captain Hook's pirate ship!! Grant was dressed perfectly for the occasion. If you look closely, he's even saying "ARRRRR Matie!" in this picture. Checkin' it out together with my bro. Apparently, he's a natural at this...as one can tell by his choice of clothing...and his ability to steer the ship on his very first try. That being said, I was pretty successful myself. To be honest, I think he makes a better first mate. It's ok, little buddy, you can be the captain some other day...right now it's my turn.
Me, mommy, and a spitting frog. Mommy said this one won't bite...the world's tamest rattlesnake. Mommy made me pose for this one. I wasn't amused.
Daddy, can I touch it? Here is Grant, in the Telemok Storybook house - apparently it is a Russian story. I've never heard of it, but I like mice... Froggy peek-a-boo, baby Grant! Here I am, in the Telemok Storybook House.In the Eragon Storybook House, overlooking the amphitheater, lake and SAILBOATS!
