Catching up...so hard to do

Time flies when you are having fun. My only excuse is that we have just been having too much fun living life than writing about life. Let's see...what have we been doing...

July 31st

We flew to Indiana to visit our friends (see "A Day with Twins"). Our kiddos are a month apart in age. They were best buds until they moved away to bigger and better things. This was our first time visiting since they left over a year ago. We had so much to squeeze so short a time...running, walking, playing, talking, yelling, crying, truck riding, etc. We did our best to squeeze it all in.

August 1st

Their house, as well as the location, is amazing. Their backyard is an oasis. As it has been so brutally hot in Texas, we were awe struck by having the ability to relax in the backyard with the kiddos playing around us. The world just dropped away.

August 2nd and 3rd

Every day, actually, every minute of every day brought smiles and tears, laughs and wails, and just plain happiness and frustration. In short, we had a great time.

August 4th

Our last day showed up way too soon. We decided to spend the last morning at the Children's Museum. We white knuckled it...ok the "we" here was the moms. The kiddos sat three across in the back seat. They seemed to have some fun and were not bothered by the raging thunderstorm going on outside.

The museum was spectacular. Time to get scrapping again.

Baby Bear still talks about the fun time she had with her buddies. Bummed that the time went by so quickly. Will likely be next summer before we get together again so will have to treasure these memories until then.
