Gone to Camp Brookhaven

We sent Lexi off to camp for the first time. We'll let you know how she did. Michael is trying to not be to concerned about her. I'm confident she's having a wonderful time. We'll post some of her pictures when she returns. She'll be gone till July 2nd.

Fredericksburg

Well, we've returned from our yearly trip to Fredericksburg/San Antonio vacation. We started off swimming at the pool at LBJ and Lady Bird parks. We visited Enchanted Rock for the first time. I think it will be a while before we return there, the 3 hr. hike was a little much for my kiddos, but I'm proud to say we made it up the huge rock and all the way around. I think we'll pack more than 5 bottles of water if we ever do it again. The last 20 min. we prayed for God to send us a cloud, and He did. What a difference a little shade makes. Our last few days were spent at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. We were reminded that Fiesta ROCKS compared to Six Flags in Arlington. Hardly a comparison. Now, back to some sort of routine with gym trips and LOW carb diets.

Father's Day

Well, today was a fun day. We spent the afternoon in Aledo with my sisters, Mom, and Dad. We had such a good time. The kids enjoyed playing with their cousins. The boys made a mud mess of the pool and enjoyed making mud soup. Weeda has all the mud pics...I'll post them when I get 'em. Around 5:00 p.m., we headed home so we'd be ready for our Herrold friends to arrive. The kids planned a special meal for their dads. They served them with aprons on, taking orders from menus they'd created. It was so sweet.

Our latest

Well, I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post. Nothing really exciting to blog about. Joshua had swimming lessons this week and is doing quite well. He dove for his goggles in 5' deep water. Yeah! He's also learned free-style strokes. I'm so proud of my little guy. This evening we went to the Southlake Town square and walked around a bit. The kids got some choc. covered marshmellows with sprinkles on it to share. I can't believe we paid $2.68 for three marshmellows. I guess you could say we splurged. Amanda has and end-of-season softball swimming party tomorrow. Her dad will be taking her as I'll be at a baby shower. I think the other kiddos will be going to Michael's parents.

Our friends are coming home from the cruise from Spain tomorrow. With Michelle just returning from a Royal Carribean Cruise and now our friends too, we're thinking we'll need to check out the whole cruise thing for ourselves. We've applied for passports so we'll be ready when "some great deal" comes up. Probably during hurricane season--Sept.-Nov. We think we'll take the kids too. We'd like them to see some other places besides the Metroplex. We just studied countries this past year. I hope were able to take them to a few places we learned about.

Until then, we'll be having fun in the sun at the gym and down the street at our neighbors. We got invited to swim at their house whenever we want as of yesterday. Yippee!
