May Excitement

 Last night was the Sommer production of Peter Pan Jr.
I don't think I got any good photos of Meagan.
We did get this one afterwards with one of Natalie's best friends, Myka.
 We went to our first MLB game as a family!
It was so much fun.
We figured that we would be there for like an hour and waste a ton of money on food.
Not at all. 
The kids got so into it.
It was a fantastic first game for them.
There were 4 home runs, 3 for the Astros, one for the Bluejays.
It looked to be a big win, but at the very end the Bluejays got that home run and brought it super close.
Matthew in particular was funny.
He sang and cheered, "GO ASTROS!"
Speaking of, Andy and I are the happiest baseball fans right now!
The Royals and Astros are both in first place.
That is not a typical thing to see.


This was Chloe Bug's first road trip.
Her beagle sisters stayed home, but she happily went to Houston.
The entire trip she had to be right on Natalie's lap.
She may have sat on Meagan's lap for a few minutes too, but that was about the end of her flexibility.
She loves to be touching people.
We love her so much that we don't mind.
Although, her new love of sleeping ON Andy's head isn't his favorite.

Musical Theater Final Show

 Big final play for the girls' musical theater class.
Meagan was a mirror.  You can see it in Andy's hands above.
Natalie was an old lady, specifically an old weeping lady.
It was really cute!  
Kendall, Meagan's sweet friend, and her mom Mandy came to watch.
I love that they are still so close despite being at different schools.
 Nat wants us to order her a wig since she was not allowed to keep hers.
Luckily, she was able to keep that lovely outfit and pearls. 
:)

There were actually two performances.  
The girls had to be in East Austin at 3, but our show that we were attending was at 5:30.
The weather totally cooperated.
We walked around the Pecan Street festival for an hour or so.
Matthew loved this fan.
The photo came out really funny.
There was a petting zoo with lots of animals.
Matthew really liked the turtle, who appeared to really like him too.
It followed him all over the pen.
Of course, we had to get the fancy fresh fruit popsicle too.
It was funny for it to be Andy, me and Matthew.
We are often alone with one kid, but very unusual to be one on one with both parents.
He felt very special.
Afterwards we went to a restaurant called Counter Culture.
It was vegan.
Nope. 
I do not like vegan and the kids REALLY do not like Vegan.
Totally cool with vegetarian.
But no milk or eggs?
Didn't work.
