Fire trucks and a fun weekend!

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a nice weekend. Ours was busy, but a lot of fun! We headed over to our hometown to spend the night with Grandma & Grandpa. We enjoyed a delicious BBQ at their house on Saturday and just had a great time visiting with them AND both aunts and uncles. Bear Cub discovered Grandpa's collection of model cars in his office....that was both a huge hit and nightmare. Why a nightmare, you may ask? Well, once they were found, BC could not stay away, so after everyone was tired of taking cars down from the shelves, and the door was officially closed off to him....well, let's just say a few tears were shed. :) He LOVES cars! I bet I know where Bear Cub will head the next time we're at their house.....
Sunday morning was probably one of Bear Cub's most exciting outings ever...a trip to the fire station to visit Uncle Eric! Yes, how lucky are we to have a real firefighter in our family? It was like a dream come true for Bear Cub -- touching the fire engines, sitting up in the driver's seat, watching the lights flash....just the whole experience was awesome! He was in heaven and we greatly appreciate Uncle E showing us all around. It was interesting for everyone!
We were also able to squeeze in a short visit with Mimi, too! We were all happy to have the chance to visit ALL our family. We're lucky to have them within such a short driving distance...
Enjoy the pictures! I'm happy to say that the sun is shining once again the beautiful Sunshine State -- but unfortunately, our 90+ degree weather has also returned. Oy. When does Fall come around here?? Oh yea...not until January. Bummer. :0)
Have a wonderful week ahead!
Helping Daddy blow out his birthday candles...yup, he's finally going to be 21 this Thursday! ;)

Team Yellow...and no, this was not planned...

Bear Cub sings happily, "Heaven...I'm in heaven!"

Future firefighter...reporting for duty!

He's got his pointer finger "hose" out and ready to put out any fires!

The family...

Too cute...and still putting out fires with that finger of his!
