2nd trip to Super Franks!

Rarely do the moms get their pictures taken, so here are the moms that went to Super Franks!

Carolyn, Gretchen and Lisa! They're Great!

Super Franks! We love it here! This is the Fish room. It is way cool. We went with some of our friends. Hank is getting in "the Pool".

He swam out to the dock!

He is such a great swimmer and climber!

The Safari room is really fun!

Here Hank is asking if he can go on the big blow up toy. Of course I said "yes"!

Here he is climbing up! His friend Gavin, was climbing up too.

Later he asked me to go on it with him, so I did.

My friend Carolyn snapped this of us!

Hank had fun on this swing.

Hank's Daaad!

These two have loads of fun together!

MArk was helping me get a shot of Hank in his new PJ's from Grandma Hinkson (my mom)!

One day Mark said he wanted to make beef jerky, so he did. Hank loved watching him string the meat! Before he strung the meat, he made his own rack. Then he cooked it on low (170 degrees) for almost an entire day, about 20 hours, it was a little too dry, but still edible.

I am repeatedly impressed by my hubby! He is so awesome!

That is a lot of beef!

Mark wanted to help entertain Hank several days ago, so he busted out the crayons and drew a city. Then he got out the pop onz and built buildings, we all had fun playing with the creation.

I am a Copy Cat!
