This Time Last Year...

Well this time last year we were in Luling, TX on vacation with Thad's boss and his familiy! You see, down there they have an annual WATERMELON THUMP where there are tons of activities, people and just a good ol' time! (Imagine Homecoming week multiplied times 10!) Well, this year we weren't able to go because of scheduling conflicts but we have been in contact with Thad's boss and he says they are having a ball! During the Thump a bunch of guys or gals have watermelons that they have harvested and they all bring them up and weigh them and then the top 15 or so get to go to this auction where people bid in the upwards of thousands of dollars for WATERMELONS! (Yes, I couldn't believe it at first either!) Well, last year, Lynn's (Thad's boss) dad, Buck, didn't make the sale and we were so sad, but Thad talked Lynn and his was 5th this year weighing in at 56 pounds!! (Yeah the size of a large child!) So, I think the sale is tonight with the dance and all that but Berk has something she wanted to tell Buck (in her watermelon attire)....

6/27/09...And here is a picture of her just being cute in her watermelon outfit! Is it just me, or does she look more "grown up" in this picture?!

And for reminiscing sake, here is a picture of us "three" at the Thump last year:

And since we didn't get to go to Schlitterbahn like we did last year (yes, big fat pregnant lady in a bathing suit, I will spare you those pictures!), Berkley and I did a little "swimming" of our own today:

6/27/09...Making sure we put on plenty of sunblock!
6/27/09...Getting used to it!
6/27/09...Splashing herself in the face!

6/27/09..."I'm loving playing in the water, mom! See my smile!"

And for your viewing pleasure; this is what Berkley decided she liked doing today in the pool:

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
