Jumping Fun

We had such a great time at Jamie's "Pump It Up" birthday party today! I wasn't sure how Tessa would take to the idea of huge inflatable jungle gyms, so Ryan and I took her on a trial run earlier this week. Not to worry! My little bundle of energy thinks these places are awesome. She got so excited today when she realized we were there to bounce.

There were very cool obstacle courses, really tall slides and lots of friends to bounce with. We each took Tessa down the slide and she went by herself too. It's harder than it looks to climb up these things while toting a toddler! But, then again, there is something hysterically funny about falling down.


It wasn't easy to get all the kids to sit still for a group shot. Tessa seemed to think we were all there to admire her and proceeded to take center stage like a triumphant gymnast. Happy Birthday Jamie! We had a great time at your party!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to Daddy, Gampa and Grandpa Frank! To celebrate this special day we had a Low Country Boil (Carolina version of a crawfish boil) using Ryan's new cooker. The shrimp were delicious and the crab was fantastic. Ryan cracks crab legs faster than anybody I know! Chocolate pie and presents topped off the day.

Eating, relaxing and playing with Tessa - just what the daddies wanted for their day. Thanks for being such great fathers!
