Fun with Line Friends

George and Henry love Line Friends, as we all know. Here they are with some Line Friends Christmas loot. (They do NOT like BTS, though, and strenuously deny that they are--or ever will be--part of ARMY.)

Haircut!

Geo let us cut his hair after some intense bribery. Mommy is finally realizing that he is a master con artist!

Geo updates - a fussy photoessay

Having fun at Staples, his happy place (he loves office supplies, especially pens and notebooks)

Drawing solar systems, a new interest of his (geography on earth is too limiting, it seems)

Hanging out with "Munchy Brown," his favorite Line Friend

Reading at the table is expressly permitted in our household. Geo is the only one who does it. He is reading a "Junior Genius Guide" on geography.

Cello group class with Geo is fun when he is actually paying attention, which he does on occasion

We spent the next two days in San Antonio, where we explored the Alamo, Witte Museum, Japanese garden, zoo, and River Walk. Altogether, it was a pleasant vacation though nothing will ever top Korea for George, and he begs every day to go back to Korea and go to Line Friends and take the train to Busan.

The boys were not impressed with the Alamo, but hopefully won't forget it

The second day we explored the Longhorn Cavern State Park. We took a 90-minute cave tour and saw some adorable sleeping tri-color bats. (BBB came along for the tour.) During the evening, we headed back to Austin to catch some live bluegrass music and eat from a Thai food cart.

Everything's fussier in Texas - Part I

We spent fall break in Texas this year, mostly because we heard there are bats there and Geo has been obsessed with bats since our trip to Carlsbad.

We spent our first day at the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg. We saw an educational program complete with a reenactment featuring a flame thrower that the boys loved. Otto Brown came along and tried to drive a tank.

Later that evening we headed to downtown Austin to the Congress Avenue Bridge and saw thousands of bats fleeing their home underneath the bridge to catch some bugs.

Otto Brown isn't a very promising soldier
