Cookoff Weekend

Every year in May (typically Mother's Day weekend) the gang all heads to Galveston for the annual Yaga's Wild Game Cookoff. It's really more about sitting in the sun, hanging with the gang and watching the boats than it is about the cooking itself. Matt & I headed down that Saturday to spend a few hours with Nick and we got to spend some time with all of our friends while we were there!

Here's Matt showing Chris the boats as they pass by in the water.
Now, Matt is pointing out boats with his daddy! He's officially a member of the "Texas Barbeque Massacre" cooking team thanks to our friend Mona who got him a t-shirt with their logo. On the front, his shirt says "cook in training".

Matt discovered a moon bounce over in the children's play area. He had fun climbing around in there, as long as he was the only kid inside!



They also had a petting zoo where Matt discovered goats. I had to make sure he quickly learned about being "gentle" because he whacked one of them pretty hard when he first touched him. Oops!

Matt chased and carried this balloon around for a good 30 minutes. It's amazing how easily they are amused at this age.

You guys are the best parents, Matt doesn't miss out on anything!

He gets to experience and do lots of new things. Many kids here in the UK don't get out as much as your family. Going to the shops or watching TV takes up a lot of their young lives!
