Meet Beckam

He's adorable and even named after my Mom, Becky, because he was due on my Mom's birthday. He is the son of our good friends Kenny and Jenny. He is also Carlee's DREAM BOY! It doesn't take them very long at all to warm up to each other when we have the chance to hang out with them. Most often they require supervision, LOL! Here they are hand-in-hand at Busch Gardens.

Water Country USA

This is the park we have been frequently visiting. It's a little too hot most days here to go to Busch Gardens. However, Water Country USA is a LARGE waterpark and is owned by Busch Gardens and our season passes get us in there for FREE! They have some AWESOME rides and every once in awhile Carlee gets to hold a bird or two. They also have a HUGE lazy river called the HUBBA HUBBA HIGHWAY aka:HEAVEN for a pregnant lady. There is not a ride in the park the Carlee has not gone on (that she is tall enough for). She is a little dare devil and her dad loves it because he has a ride partner.

Roman Rapids with the Fells

Carlee LOVES the rides at Busch Gardens that get you wet. The problem with that is her Dad and I DO NOT love those rides as much as she does. On this particular day she was in luck. We went with our friends the Fell's. Their kids were prepared to get wet with her. Here's a couple of action shots...

Found some photos...

A few photos I guess I thought I had blogged on and have since realized I haven't...

Carlee at Easter with the Easter Bunny at Busch Gardens. I think he may be the cutest little Easter Bunny I have ever seen.

While Carson was at Priesthood Session Carlee and I went and ate at Jungle Jim's. The food was just ok, but Carlee liked the menu (she is wearing it) and the atmosphere.

After Jungle Jims for dinner we headed over to Great Wolf Lodge to hear the bedtime story and say goodnight to the Wolf.

This spring Busch Gardens welcomed the cutest little Clysdale colt ever. The sad news...it died a few weeks later of an infection. This picture was taken when he was only 2 days old.

Another one of the Clysdales at Busch Gardens. This time an adult. Carlee LOVES the animals at the park. She does want to be a "bet-urinarian" someday you know...

S'mores on a stick!

Sounds like it should be a store in the food court at the mall. . .

Easy and delicious. It will fun to give some away this weekend. Happy 4th of July weekend.

(I can't wait for my Mom to fly in tomorrow, finally!)

Sorry the photo is not the right direction, but you get the idea...

P.S. Carlee did the assembly work of the smores and I dipped them. She then put the sprinkles on (which is why they are all in the center). She LOVES to help in the kitchen.
