Ready to swim!
Hanging out in the "warm" tub.
We brought some of Brady's trains along for the trip and he spent much of our time in the room playing with his beloved trains.

It was amazing to have such a close encounter with the dolphins.

Shopping at the market.
Scanning and checking out their groceries. It really worked!! They both really loved this.
Brady took all his groceries over to Randy and had to show and tell him what each and every food item was - and he was very animated doing so.
Dawson working at the cash register again. This is his dream job, as he is very adamant that he wants to be a Target cashier when he grows up. I know all that homeschooling will be put to good use with that career choice. :-)
Dawson in front of the Alamo. He was excited to visit it after learning about the famous battle when we studied Texas history.
When Dawson finished his phonics / language arts curriculum, we surprised him with a special gift.
The set of Magic Tree House books, a series he really, really enjoys reading. He was so excited!!!

Excited to see their Easter baskets on Easter morning.
Dawson thrilled with a basket of Phineas and Ferb goodies.
Toys and books.
Brady got Thomas puzzles and books. He was especially excited about the books, spread them all out on the floor and told us about each one - what the story was and which trains were in it. He loves Thomas the Train.
Ready to find the eggs hidden at home.
Ready, set, go!
Dawson relaxing on the couch after all the excitement, reading his new Phineas and Ferb comic book.
