We had an awesome July 4th weekend....hope you all did as well! Our closest friends came up from Houston with their two boys--Chris, Kelly, Tyler and Cole. Usually our visits are limited to a regular weekend, and we try to squeeze in everything we possibly can. We all really enjoyed having a full extra day to spend time having fun as well as relaxing. We hit the new Frisco pool at the rec center and had a blast for a few hours. Justin and I did several laps around the lazy river while he slept peacefully on my stomach with his feet in the water. Shane is finally loving the water this summer like a fish and Travis is still a little "ify" about pools. We also made it out to the Rough Rider game on the night of the 4th. All 5 boys did great at the game. Travis, who doesn't know a stranger, ended up making friends with the family sitting behind us and their two older boys. Shane was really into watching the game; Troy and I hope he takes an interest most in playing baseball. When the game was over, the boys were amazed to be sitting directly under the fireworks. When the first boom hit, I thought for sure they'd all jump out of their shorts, but they didn't flinch. They loved every moment. It was a great rush to see them all so excited. We also made homemade ice cream with this very cool ball that Chris & Kelly brought up. You can get it at REI and it's meant especially to take on camping trips. You roll it around/shake/toss it for about 30 minutes and then you have (quite tasty) soft serve. We made vanilla for the kids and then let them make the grown-up ice cream with Khalua in it!! We had so much fun and the kids thought it was the best ice cream they'd ever had.
We all had a blast and hate to have the weekend(s) come to an end. We're trying not to let so much time pass between visits. We miss you and love you all very much! Next trip's on us, guys! Houston or bust!!!
