While this crew went to Breakaway 2011 (Youth Camp for FBC Amarillo) in Missouri,
Imagine a group picture
I will post later, when Bradley's computer is at home :)
the boys and I headed to Waco and Belton for the week! We usually go with Bradley to camp but had super fun graduation festivities for our niece Chelsea Maybin (separate post to follow) this year. Here's a little snapshot of the fun we had!
Tate, Chloe and Parker playing at the new park in Robinson.
Surely Tate isn't old enough to climb this on his own. "No help, Mommy. Me do it," so said William Tate Maybin! :)
Chloe!
Tate taking time to play in the dirt. My true little boy!
Just a swingin'...
and then more dirt!
Another morning, we headed to a place where I loved life,
Baylor University, to look around and of course see the bear!
Baylor has changed so much but it still feels like home to me. I love to see everyone strolling through campus...a few running to get to class on time. It's a wonderful environment where Jesus is in the heart of many. I showed the boys where two of the places I lived and where I spent most of my time...Hankamer School of Business!
I never thought I could miss a place so much!
Parker outside the bear den.
The bear wasn't out but it was only 9:30 in the morning. I told Parker and Tate that the bear had a "college life" schedule and wouldn't be up until lunch.
"He'll be reeeeallllyyy hungry then Mom" said Parker.
Where is that bear?
We headed to the Spirit Shop where the boys enjoyed some air conditioning, each got a
BU shirt and a teddy bear. It was so fun to see their excitement about
BU. We are planning a trip to Waco for Homecoming 2011! Cannot wait! :)
Ahhhh...Belton! We drove to Belton for a couple of days to enjoy my parents and the pool!
Man, it's hot in Central Texas!
Lots of wagon rides and swimming!
Tate and Parker found Chris' old high school football helmets and had a great time "playing ball".
Mom and Dad were sweet to throw me a little birthday party after we picked Bradley up from the airport. I loved it but didn't get any pictures!
Cameron Park Zoo 
Parker and Tate looking at Tigers!
Chloe and Chelsea went along with us! It was so fun to spend some time with their cousins!
Fun times sliding "through" the water!
Tate ready to go...some more! :)
These turtles did not move the entire time we were there!
Chlesea and Tate
The whole gang...thanks, Nanny, for taking pictures!
We watched this lion for a long time. It finally got up, promptly went to the glass with it face right up to it and roared. Tate clung to me and Parker mocked the lion. Priceless!
Orangutan
Tate was thrilled that this tiger went swimming!
Schools of fish AND air conditioning!
A little play time!
Just hanging around this town
The boys and Chloe swam at the Maybin's every afternoon after rest time.
Parker loves to lay out. In his words, "I'm just relaxing".
This kid has absolutely no fear of water!
Love these boys!
We are so blessed to just hang out with our family!
Robinson Rockets school song is sung to the "O Christmas Tree" tune.
At graduations, I generally look at every pair of shoe that goes across the stage. We laughed so much at Chelsea's graduation because many of the heels were super-high and the girls couldn't walk in them AT ALL! We concluded that their skirts were too tight or they didn't know how to walk in heels. Oh so proud of you Chelsea - you knew what you were doing! :)
