Possum Kingdom

Last weekend we met my parents at the lake. The boys played golf while Mom, Hampton and I hung out in the condo 2 of the afternoons, but the highlight for H was riding in the boat. He talked about it the whole way there and has not stopped talking about it since, "Go ride...Pop's boat." Mom and I took him for a ride asap when the boys went to play their first round. He loved watching and hearing the other boats.

Enjoying berries with Sweetie and Mommy

Sweetie spoiled Hampton with unlimited berries...his favorite!!!

Feeding Pops' pet crow Sunny

He gave it a shot, but was not super fired up about riding the tube...very different from his first lake experience. We were mindful not to force him to do anything he was afraid of doing. He did enjoy parts of his tube ride. However, I don't think he enjoyed it as much as Daddy and UD enjoyed their tube ride.

Daddy and UD

Hampton much preferred watching Daddy and UD with a good snack...and of course Sweetie.

You might not be surprised to know that Hampton LOVED the pool, especially the waterfall. As soon as he would wake up he would ask, "Go see waterfall? Come on Pops.) This boy is fearless in the water... as long as he has his ring on. Daddy, Pops and UD threw him back and forth, he jumped off the side, ran under the pounding waterfall and even jumped off of the 3 foot planter box. Fearless I tell you... Squealing out of sheer delight!!!

Fun in the Sun

Hampton L-O-V-E-S the water...watching it, playing in it, driving over it, talking about it...anything to do with water.

We spent the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend at J and A's house. They have a huge inflatable water slide. Hampton was pretty intimidated at first, but warmed up quickly when Daddy joined him.

We met everyone for lunch and the girls wanted to sit by Hampton. He kept pulling them tight for a hug and saying, "cheese". So I took their picture. Pretty cute, I must say.

Everyone enjoyed popsicles after the water slide. It was Hampton's first! He would bit into it and then make a horrible face...like he was eating a lemon. I hate the feeling of your teeth biting into a popsicle...nails on a chalk board. He kept eating though.

It is so much fun to see the relationship he is building with his cousins. He absolutely adores them...all of them...and talks about them often.

We spent a good portion of our day at the pool today and I have to say, considering he has not been taught to swim other than, "kick your legs, kick kick kick" he's quite the water bug. I am so thankful for our neighborhood pool, but so much more thankful for sweet friends to play with.

please, do not make fun of the girly flotation device...it works, so we'll just have to be a little girly :)

We are so excited to go to the lake with Sweetie, Pops and UD to celebrate UD's birthday! Hampton will love the boat.

Daddy and UD have started playing on a men's softball team. Hampton gets excited to go watch, but he doesn't do much watching. Jack and Caleb's daddies play too, so his best buddies are there...you absolutely cannot sit still if your best buddies are around!!!

Big hugs for UD
