Small Town Saturday Night

Last weekend, we headed to Paris to see my mom for Mother's Day & to listen to my daddy's band play. It was a quick but fun trip, despite the torrential downpour most of the time we were there.

The first few pics are just some random shots that I thought were cute or funny of the kids while we were in Paris. Jake succeeded in fitting the entire frog's head in his mouth. He tries this with his rubber duckies at home, too.Nothing better than watching TV shirtless!
Forget the blocks, the bucket that holds them is more fun.
J had a little photo shoot with the kids on the back porch. Everything looked so pretty & green due to all of the rain. He doctored this one of Jake up to make the colors pop.
I love the little smirk on his face here.
So excited he can hardly stand it!
Mal loves to be the center of attention.
She managed to pull a leaf off of the plant sitting beside her & studied it for a long time.
Unfortunately, she tried to put the leaf in her mouth, & I had to take it away. This was her response. Not dramatic at all.
Saturday night we headed over to Windom, TX to listen to Daddy's band. He & his buddies formed the Bois d'Arc Bottom band when they were in their twenties & have reunited now that they're all starting to retire. They play bluegrass & country, & have a great time. We enjoyed some yummy fried catfish at the Windom Feed Sack & then listened to them play in the pavilion across the street. Daddy plays the drums, so he's a little hard to see. Lucky for us, he had parked their motor home nearby, so we were able to listen & still keep the kids out of the rain.
