Dunk! and Other Fun Junk

Wow, this past week sure had a lot of fun junk. We had our summer dunk tank party and it was full of lots of fun junk. First, my grandparents flew in for the fun. Second, lots of crazy friends came by to dunk and be dunked. And third, the weather could not have been better.

My dad made lots of funny faces when he was in the "hot seat." He would heckle the people throwing the balls. It was really funny, especially because he spent a lot of time getting wet - everyone seemed to hit the target when he was in the tank.

Lots of good food was enjoyed - thanks to everyone for bringing so many treats. Hazel, Ginger, and Poppy's mom brought the yummiest treat - a coconut lime berry cake. You can check the recipe out at http://virtualgoodyplate.blogspot.com/2011/06/coconut-lime-berry-cake.html. They even posted some pics of the dunking!

The fun junk continued with tons of time with Grandma and Grandpa. We tossed lots of balls, swam, read books, played chase at the park, went for wagon rides, played in the water, swam some more and threw rocks into the creek. Awesome, just awesome.

The fun junk never stops around here. Several cool playdates this week. This is me and my buddies Nick and Xander. Nick would shoot the bubbles, I would catch them, and Xander would watch. Then Nolan came to play and we cooled off in the water and played with the beach ball.

And finally my friend Eliza was in town with her mom from South Carolina - a state I haven't been to yet. Hey mom and dad...I see a trip in our future! Eliza and I played in the water, ate dinner, pushed each other around the house on my plastic hot rod, and dined on chocolate covered strawberries. Not a bad first date.

And tonight we went to a Fox Fun Campfire at the Gulf Branch Nature Center. The funny lady giving the fox presentation got down on her knees in the dirt, then pounced in the air just like a fox. I petted a real fox fur and roasted a marshmallow for my smore. While the roasting was fun, I skipped the smore and went straight for the Hershey's chocolate. Mmmmm.
