Roughriders

We scored founders club tickets to the Frisco Roughriders game. (Thanks Ms Theresa) The seats were directly behind home plate and included all you can eat food/drinks/ice cream. Max had a great time at the game especially on the playground and we had a special treat of Josh Hamilton from the Rangers playing that night.

Slip N Slide

It's not really summer until you pull out the Slip N Slide.

VBS

We just finished up an awesome week of Vacation Bible School. This year's theme was Operation Space and Max loves space.

Pool Party

Max was so excited to be invited to a birthday pool party. He loves swimming in different pools.

Disguises

Max loves playing Lego Star Wars. One of his favorite things to do is turn on disguises. When you do that all the little lego people and even the ships wear these little glasses with mustache disguises. Max thinks this is hilarious. Mommy and Daddy had stopped in a local grocery store and left Max and Grandma waiting in the car. As we were picking up a few things, what did I find - disguises. Of course we had to get them and we put them on in the parking lot and walked up to the car. Max was so excited - why are you wearing disguises! He couldn't wait to try it on himself. Now when he puts them on he always issues a warning. Don't be scared it will be me but I will be wearing a disguise.

Pottery Party

Max went to a birthday at a paint your own pottery place. You get to pick out what you want to paint, they provide all the paints and then when you are done they fire it in the kiln for you. We haven't received our piece back yet but Max is looking forward to drinking out of his new mug.

Lego Club Racers

I decided to sign Max up for a Lego club event at our local Lego Store. For $15 you get to come in one hour before the store opens, build Legos with a team, t-shirt, and a bag of legos. This month's theme was Lego Racers. The teams were split by ages and were instructed to build a lego race car and then raced their car against the other team. Max was on the youngest team (age 6) and believe it or not - they WON!

New Style

I sent Daddy and Max to get Max's haircut. Always the same 3 on top, 2 on sides, 1 in the back. Max had a different idea of what he wanted this time. He told the lady at Sport Clips (his favorite place to go) "Don't listen to him (Dad) I know what I want". Daddy decided since it was his hair he could choose. Here is our new spiky Max, who will probably now need another haircut in two weeks but at least he was able to experience some independence.

Hotel Swimming

We spent more time in the hotel pool than ever before this trip because it was so hot. Max had a great time swimming, sliding, splashing, and watching the nightly dive-in movies.

Day Five - Last Hoorah

We met back up with our friends at MGM, did crazy Toy Story rush, then headed over to Jedi Training. Max's friends were chosen for the Jedi training and he was content to cheer them on.

We parted ways with our friends and headed to the new American Idol Experience. It was great, very realistic, Max LOVED it. He even got sucked in by the Coca Cola sponsorship and begged for a coke in a metal bottle. I have to say Coke taste pretty good in a metal bottle.

Round 2 of the Animation Academy was a big surprise Max actually attempted to draw the character and it looked great.

A trip to Downtown Disney would not be complete without a stop in to the Lego Store.

Day Four - Breakfast, Tea Party, and Monorail

We started off day four having breakfast with Pooh and friends.

Disney with friends - always more fun

Max had a special reservation for kids only at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. He was full of stories for the rest of the day.

Surprise

Present for Mom

On our way from the Grand Floridian to Epcot, Max was chosen to be the Monorail Co-Pilot. What a treat.
