Tomball Summer Nights!!

This last Friday night we went to the small town of Tomball with Grandma and Grandpa Stephenson and enjoyed walking around this charming town full of antique shops and looking at the booths people had set up, listening to the music of small bands playing and radios blaring, the kids went on pony rides and climbed all over an old train on display. We then settled in our seats on the edge of the road and ate kettle-corn and funnel cakes while we waited for the, "kaprade" aka, the parade to start. Garrett calls it kaprade, and that is all he could talk about was when we go to the kaprade, making plans for the kaprade with his Grandma Carol, you never know what those two will be planning next!! :) Garrett LOVES to make plans with his Grandma Carol!! It was fun to be able to go and enjoy the charm of OLD TOWN TOMBALL!!In case you don't recognize what this is, it is a picture of a car that was literally wrapped around a telephone pole because of drinking and driving; they cut the pole out with the car, the two young kids that were in the car did not survive!!! So terribly sad!!! So CRAZY that a car can do that, it was insane looking!! I told Garrett what happened, he says, " that is what happens when you are naughty! Those kids were SO naughty!" Uh....okay, I guess he is right!!
Brody was a good sport hanging out in the stroller, missing out on all the fun!! It will be fun when he is finally able to run around and keep up with the rest of them!! He has started walking but he doesn't have it quite mastered yet!!
This is Brody yelling at the water bottle, have we mentioned he is a howler monkey!?






My very first night parade followed by a pretty darn good firework show!! Small town FUN!! :)
