May arrived, and the weather was finally warm enough to take the boys to the lake beach at Little Elm Park. Eli happily swam in his Spiderman arm floaties, while Isaiah ran around in his Spiderman life jacket. Sand + shovels + buckets + water = heaven for my little boys!
This year, we ditched the blow-up pool and tried out our new Slip 'n Slide. Eli was a little hesitant, so Mom had to show him how to go about throwing yourself down and gliding on your tummy.....sorry, no pictures of that! I'll admit it was pretty fun, even at my age. Jerry was shocked when I told him :) 
One Saturday, a friend called to invite us to her FREE neighborhood summer festival. The fun included several bounce houses, a rock climbing wall, snow cones, and cotton candy. What a great way to spend a Saturday morning.....I'm a sucker for anything that's FREE!
The next week Eli participated in a homeschool Field Day event, organized by a playgroup we are in. The kids enjoyed a variety of competitive games, which reminded me of church camp in years past. At the end, everyone received a medal to wear proudly around their necks. 
We wrapped up the month with a Batman birthday party for Eli's friend Austin. Upon entering the "Bat Cave" the boys got to decorate their own masks, watch Batman cartoons, and take pictures in the photo booth. After a yummy lunch, all the kids gathered for a visit from Batman himself! Both boys were very cautious, but I finally convinced Eli to pose for a picture with Batman. The party ended with birthday cake, popsicles, and a cupcake decorating table! I think we all left with a major sugar rush :)
