Memorial Day Weekend

Brent had both the Friday and Monday of Memorial Day weekend off work. And, amazingly enough, he actually did not work for 4 days straight. It really was a vacation! Woohoo! So, we crammed in all the fun we could get:

The drive out to Brenham, TX to visit the Blue Bell Ice Cream Factory:






Note how the bottom of the sign says, "We eat all we can and we sell the rest." And it's a true motto. I saw multiple workers eating ice cream while on break. :-)

We couldn't take pictures on the tour, but it was fun. And very low key. Basically, we just got to see what was happening in each part of the factory, but we had plenty of time to watch, which we liked. Isaac kicked his legs excitedly. Could factory work be in his future? Or maybe just a lot of ice cream . . .  Either way, we definitely think he could be their new mascot: 









When we got home, we decided it was about time to take a swim in our pool-- especially since we've been enjoying swim whether for about 2 1/2 months now!


We haven't bought swim gear for Isaac yet, so he watched from his stroller with Emily:



But they blew bubbles: 


And it looks like Isaac tried to blow some of his own: 


Then we let him put his feet in the pool, and he loved it: 


Is there anything cutter than chubby, splashing feet? 





On Monday, he had his first real swim-- in a swimming diaper! He was a little unsure at first, but I think he enjoyed himself. 





And here's a picture of him sitting up on his own (the latest milestone!), at Lisa's request: 


Not sure what this face is about, but I had to throw this one in too: 


As you can see, life in Houston is pretty good. :-)
