Ringling Bro. and Barnum & Bailey (Zing Zang Zoom) Circus

So I posted photos when we went to the circus and forgot to write a few words :)  So anyway, on the third of July our family went to the circus with friends from Kingsville.  Needless to that we had so much fun - specially Caleb.  He loved seeing the tigers and elephants . . . .  and pretty much anything that went kaboom!!!  First time in a circus with our 2-yr old was not bad at all :D  s

 

We had sooooo much fun watching Sesame Street tonight.  Caleb was entertained with the show especially when Elmo and Cookie Monster came out! I personally enjoyed just watching him on his Daddy's lap and just enjoy the show.  Caleb was able to shake hands with Grover, Elmo, and Cookie Monster.  At the end when he left the auditorium he kept saying, "Bye Elmo, bye Cookie Monster."  He just loved it! More pictures have been posted in facebook.

Esta noche tuvimos una noche divertida viendo el show de Sesame Street.  A Caleb le encanto muchisimo especialmente cuando Elmo y Cookie Monster salieron!  Personalmente  a mi me encanto porque Caleb se quedo sentado en las piernas de su papa y disfruto del show.  Caleb tuvo la oportunidad de saludar a Grover, Elmo, y Cookie Monster. Al salir el simplemente seguia diciendo, "Adios Elmo, adios Cookie Monster." Caleb le encanto el show!  He puesto mas fotos en facebook.

This is our son sneaking to get some carrots before dinner!  Apparently he likes carrots :D - that's my boy!

Este es nuestro hijo tratando de comer sus zanahorias antes de la comida! Parese que le gustan las zanahorias, no? Ese es mi hijo!

Caleb likes to draw circles in his chalk board.  He has learn his shapes like circle, triangle, square, and rectangle.  He tries to draw them but so far circles are the easiest for him.  Those other wiggly stuff you see . . . . . only he knows what they are!

A Caleb le gusta dibujar circulos en su pizarra. Ultimamente a aprendido a decir círculo, triángulo, cuadrado, y rectángulo (en Ingles, claro).  El trata de dibujarlos pero hasta ahora solo los circulos son mas faciles para el.  Las otros cositas dibujadas ahi que ven . . . . . solo Caleb sabe que son!

So I had fun trying to cut Dustin's hair the other day.  We thought that it wouldn't be hard to do a Marine hair cut and here are the results!!
He liked it so I guess that is all that matters.  Caleb also got a hair cut, but he was not happy :(

El otro día trate de cortarle el pelo a Dustin.  Pensamos que no seria difícil hace un corte de pelo y aquí están los resultados! Por lo menos le gusto y eso es lo me importa, verdad?  A Caleb le cortamos el pelo pero el no le gusto tanto :(

So the local news made a big deal of Hurricane Alex.  We had sand bags in the garage, front door, and back door; tied down our grill, and took precautions with our garden, but all it happen was rain and wind.

We had fun taking pictures anyway.  It was some what exciting to go through this experience.  It made us realize how much 72-hour kits are necessary and most importantly food storage.  All we were not ready with was a generator.  We were able to get one after going to a few stores and being told that all were gone.  Thankfully the electricity did not go out and everything else is same as always. Too bad the base pool is not open today 'cause it would have been nice to go to the pool with this heat!

Las noticias locales hicieron un lío grande sobre el huracán Alex.  Pusimos bolsas de arena en nuestro garaje, la puerta de enfrente, y la puerta de enfrente.  Amarramos nuestro parrilla y tomamos precauciones con nuestro jardín y todo lo que paso fue lluvia y un poco de viento!

Por lo menos nos divertimos un poco tomando fotos.  Nos hizo realizar varias cosas al pasar por esta experiencia.  Nos ayudo a ver que tan importante es el paquete de 72-horas y mas que nada el almacén de comida.  Lo único que no teníamos era un generador por si la luz se iba.   Después de ira  a algunas tiendas y ver que no tenían mas obtuvimos uno.  Lo bueno que la luz no se fue pero ahora estamos listos en caso de que o lleguemos a necesitar.  Hoy queríamos ir a la alberca para pasar el calor pero desafortunadamente no la abrieron!
