Family Visit

Hello Everyone. Hope you all are enjoying your summer and fitting in some time for fun. We have abandoned the thought of a big summer trip in lieu of several extended weekend breaks. Laura's mom, sister and nephew came to town last week for a few days. It was nice to visit all of the kid- oriented touristy sites around town. We had a great time visiting all of the dolphins, belugas, penguins, sharks, sea lions, and of course killer whales at Sea World on Monday. Rode the miniature train around Breckenridge park and visited the Witte museum on Tuesday. Sadly the fun was over on Wednesday as they had to go back up to Dallas, but we greatly enjoyed their visit and are of course welcome back any time... besides there are at least five more godzilla movies sitting here waiting for Noah's return.

Fourth of July weekend was another long enjoyable weekend. We stayed in town and spent most of the time relaxing and catching up on housework. Unfortunately it was way too hot to spend much time outdoors, but we did attend a couple of cook-outs with friends. We heard that there were several fireworks shows around town but didn't quite make it to any of them. Although while we were swimming,we unexpectantly saw a few parts of the San Antonio Country Club/Fort Sam Houston show through some trees in the distance. All in all it was a pleasant, low key weekend with friends. Hopefully we will make it back up to Granbury next year as we always enjoy their festivities.

As for this weekend, we are again having a mini-vacation. We are headed up to Granbury, Ft. Worth, and Dallas through next Tuesday. If you are up there, hopefully we will get to see you and for everyone else we hope you have a nice, cool weekend. Talk to you soon!
