Smart kid!  I was reading her this book.  Before I could start this page, she read it.  I was very impressed.

 She climbs this on every walk around the neighborhood

Visit with the Hoberts!

In mid-July, the Hoberts came to visit!

On Wednesday the 17th, I took the day off and we went to the Yards Park.

 Brayden and Jovie had lots of fun playing together

 After that, we went to Tortilla Cafe...

...and then went to Eastern Market...

 ...to stop at the bakery to get some goodies!

 A ride back to the car on Uncle Jeremy's shoulders: "Ho-sey", as Jovie calls the "horsey ride"

A little indoor ball playing with cousins

 In the evening, we played at the pool 

Then, some quality time with Auntie Kel

On Friday the 19th, we drove to Slaughter Bay where the Hoberts had rented a house for a few days

 It was super hot, but we spent some time on the bay beach.  Not great for swimming, but a beautiful bay with wildlife like little jellyfish and horseshoe crab

 Jovie liked to play on the porch stairs

 Sunset on the bay beach after dinner

 "I see a boat!"  One of Jovie's favorite phrases (sometimes even when it's a construction crane)

 Hoberts by the bonfire

 Horseshoe crabs mating at night

 On the 20th, we went to the ocean

 The waves were HUGE!  We had tons of fun playing and boogie-boarding, but we got a little roughed up.  We saw dolphins, which Jovie talked about for a month.

 Jovie chucked sand (accidentally, I think) at Collin right before this picture

 Playing ball at the beach

 Lunch break!

 We went back and put Jovie down for a nap at the bay beach house.  The tide was pretty far out, so Kelly and I went for a walk for a bit (but couldn't stay out too long because it was so hot)

 On our wildlife walk

 We saw hermit crabs, snails, and had to come back because of all the little jellyfish

 Jovie liked playing a bit on the enclosed porch

 Playing on the beach one last time before dinner

 Eating at a Mexican restaurant on Saturday evening

 Zonked out on the drive home on Saturday night

Lots of fun, but we were tired!  :)  Thanks for visiting, Hoberts!
