Lawson trip

Last weekend we went to see Kevin's family. We did one night in Plano, and two in Gainesville. It was great to see everyone, and it was especially great for Kevin to watch the Mavs playoffs with people who appreciate it more than me! At Chad and Cassy's, Jake tried his hand at the drums playing Rock Band. He loved it!
Jake LOVES his older cousin, Cohen. One of the funniest things I saw them play was wrestling. They would face each other with their arms stretched out wide, then come together in what resembled a big bear hug...They would then topple on the ground with each other, get up and start all over again...It was great to spend some time with this precious girl too. Look how big she's getting!While the big boys enjoyed some father/son time together, Nana, Jake and I went to the Gainesville zoo. We had mentioned to Jake that we would try to feed giraffes and he got fixated on the giraffes. The entire way through the zoo (the giraffes are near the end), the said, "I want to see giraffes!" Luckily, we managed to get him to slow down enough to see some other animals along the way...I just had to include a photo of this guy. I named him Bully Goat b/c he butted his way past all the smaller goats in search of food. He was intense and obviously VERY hungry!We finally made it to the giraffes, and it was time to feed them.
We headed up to them, got our lettuce, and Jake froze. The giraffes were a little more intimidating up close. So Mommy and Nana fed the giraffe while Jake watched from here...These last two pics show Jake's goofy side. He found these earwarmers, but them on and ran around with no shirt for while. He also loved squirting this bubble gun. Silly boy...
