Swimming Pool!

Anderson enjoying himself at Chuck E Cheese

(Jason wrote the following:)For those not aware of Chuck E Cheese, this is a restaurant that serves pizza, sandwiches and beverages that allows parents too terrified to take their kids to a real restaurant the opportunity to get out of the house. The food is mediocre, but you get to see videos of the latest children's television hits. Most exciting for Anderson is Chuck, the restaurant's faithful mascot. It's a great experience for all.

Here's a picture which shows Anderson with cute little Chuck.

In addition to this wonderful experience, we bought Anderson a kid's pool. Jason didn't warm up the water before plopping him into the pool, but Natalie added some warm water and eventually he grew to like it. Here are some pictures ...

Tastefully covered ...

First swim lesson.

In other news, we just came back from a short/sweet trip to California...with 4 flights in just over 48 hours. For the most part, Anderson did pretty well though he did have his moments... We (with friend Carol from Austin) visited Jennifer & family in Sacramento. James (Jennifer's husband) was incredibly helpful and even babysat Munch when we went to Jennifer's baby shower... As he noted, pretty soon he will be handling 2 kids...so why not get some early practice :)



Carol, Jennifer and I pre-shower. Jennifer looks amazing and is very agile/mobile for someone in her 3rd trimester in the summer...where does she get the energy...??
