Boy Stuff With Brayden

Brayden spent the night this weekend and since it was just him and no girls too we decided to do boy stuff.

We met Kimberly at around 11:00 then headed to Cracker Barrel to eat brunch which we followed that with a visit to Home Depot (Depot per Brayden) to get some filters for the vents in the house.

While we were at Cracker Barrel we were trying to figure out what we could do with Brayden so he wouldn't get bored. We were thinking maybe a Tides baseball game but the game wasn't till 5:00. Then Brayden started talking about fishing which is his favorite past-time. So we decided to head to Hampton to the Bass Pro Shops. They have an aquarium there with lots of fish and it's just a neat place to go.

Of course, when we got there he headed right over to the fish.



he was too busy looking at the fish then look at Grandma

They had a kids event going on where at certain times you would do the station and get a pin. Of course the fishing was at noon so Brayden missed that. At 3:00 they had shooting and hunting. So Brayden got to color a wolf paw print.

he couldn't sit long enough to finish it

Grandpa and Brayden BB shooting

He ht the target!

he liked getting into all the different boats they had on display


Then it was time to go so we decided to stop and get a drink and a snack to cool off. Brayden and I decided on ice cream at Sonic.



I hope Brayden enjoyed his boy time with Grandpa and Grandma this weekend. It doesn't happen often around here since Jeff only has two weekends a month off which needs to be divided amongst five grandchildren so it's usually filled with girls too.

Independence Day

Thanks to hurricane Arthur we weren't sure if we would be able to celebrate the 4th of July. Luckily the hurricane blew out by mid to late morning and the cook out was back on at Nicole and Dave's.

The cook out started at 2:00 and first up was pictures before everyone, especially the kids, went swimming. We missed having Kylie in the pictures.







There was cornhole, food, swimming, a little fishing and lots of fun to be had by all.



Around 8:00 it was time to head over to Kimberly and Jacob's for the neighborhood fireworks. Due to Arthur all city fireworks were postponed till the 5th. We were pretty bummed since it was nice and sunny out but it was still breezy and Virginia Beach lights their fireworks off on a barge so the water was a little choppy still.

We did get to see some fireworks down on their dock which was nice. What's July 4th without fireworks? Noah, Jackson and Haylee stayed down on the dock for a little bit watching them but it ended up being too loud for them so they headed back to the house. They were already too loud for Brayden so he stayed at the house for the whole thing. Hopefully next year a hurricane or rain won't come through so we can enjoy the fireworks.
