The Wiggles!

Jordan attended his first concert today at Nokia Theatre at Grand Prairie. The Racing to the Rainbow Tour by The Wiggles was very well done, and Nokia is a perfect venue for their show.

Grandpa and Grandma got tickets for us all to go: Jordan, Dad, Mom and Aunt Cristina. Grandma and Grandpa graciously got to the theatre early to pick up our tickets from Will Call. We arrived about 30 minutes before the concert started and took our seats on the Southwest Airlines Flight Deck row. We had a great view of the stage, and sound quality was great. Jordan, who had been sick earlier in the day, started running a really low grade fever during the concert, so didn't jump and dance and sing with the Wiggles, but he did have a smile on his face most of the concert, and seemed to love every minute of it. It was really funny to see him realize the images on the giant video screens flanking the stage was really happening right in front of him on the stage!

Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for the awesome tickets and the great fun tonight!

Galveston

We made a trip to Galveston again this year for a short getaway. Thanks again to Grammie D for organizing everything for us. It was a blast!

This year's forecast called for rain the entire time we were in Galveston, but fortunately, it didn't turn out to be that bad, so we were able to get plenty of beach and pool time. We ate lots of good seafood, rode the Galveston Island-Bolivar Peninsula ferry; we went to Moody Gardens for both the rainforest pyramid and the aquarium. All and all it was a great time, like last year.

Rather than a blow-by-blow account of this year, we thought we'd let the pictures tell the story...















Jordan has his first experience touching a starfish at the Moody Gardens aquairium.





















Jordan took very literally the call to "follow me" on the floor of the aquarium.
















More than a million gallons of saltwater. Thousands of species of plantlife and fish. Jordan found every bench in the place more interesting.
















Jordan imitated a wooly mammoth with straws at dinner at Casey's in Galveston. (He did this all on his own, with no prompting from any of us!).





















Jordan was mezmerized by the blue macaws on display.
