FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING

We went to Broadway at the Beach to spend family time together and to let Austin see the kiddie rides they have at the park. We didn't know how he was going to react to the rides so we watched them at first. He pointed, clapped and bounced in his stroller wanting to ride. I think his excitment came from seeing all the kiddos riding and having fun which made him want to do it, too. We had many laughs and had so much fun watching Austin get excited! At first, he was hesitant about the Carousel, but liked it once it started moving. I was really nervous about putting Austin on the Tea Cup ride, but he loved it! My little boy is growing so fast!

Ty, Austin and I went out on Papa Lee's boat to see how Austin would like being on the boat and water. I am so excited that he absolutely loved it! Austin had a blast driving with Ty, pointing at ducks and watching the water. We look forward going back again soon!

Valerie and I took our boys, Austin and Corban, and her little girl, Eden, to the movies to see Alvin and the Chipmunks, which was no cost to parents being a summer movie for kids. This was Austin's first time in the movie theater setting. I wasn't sure how long we were going to stay because Austin prefers to be on the GO rather than still, but since it was free it really didn't matter to me. I was very proud of my little guy as we stayed for almost 1 hour before he started getting squirmy. We are planning to go again to see Veggie Tales, I think Austin might do better because he loves Bob and Larry!
