Happy Independence Day friends! This past week we enjoyed cowboys and cowgirls and farm times for the week. Again, we started off with a bang-the zoo! Now, I know I said I would not do this again this summer, but they offered early openings on Mondays and it was actually a really mild morning so we invited our friends Kaylee and Meghan and took a chance. It turned out beautifully! Not only was it early opening also the train and carousel were free so we rode everything and really focused on Texas wild with a fun bbq lunch. Tuesday we went out to see Papa's horse and enjoyed a cold dip in the pool. The kids each got to ride Papa's horse by themselves and did great. His name is Tex but Isaac calls him Papa's Texas. Wednesday was the 4th and we spent the morning and day at my sister's swimming and enjoying a great lunch-thanks Em! That afternoon we headed home for a late nap and some downtime before heading with our friends the Bannerots to a great firework show. We got some fried chicken and apple pies-thanks Shelli and enjoyed live music, other new friends' bean bag toss game, and some games of uno before the free firework show got started. It was great and honestly the closest we've ever been. This year Vivian said it was the best night ever as she flicked away something on her forehead. That something turned out to be paper from the fireworks literally landing on us! Thursday we laid low just watching Charlotte's Web and playing around the house. Friday we were going to head to the Cowgirl museum but decided to visit with Aaron and Ellen instead. They had fun just running around and dressing up as cowboys while watching Toy Story 2. Saturday, Nick wanted to stay close to home so we cleaned and mowed. That afternoon the kids played with Kendall and Jack while we got to sneak away to a movie-thanks Jayme!! Sunday Vivian got to enjoy a fun horsey movie with Nana and Papa and Nick enjoyed the full day with the kids as I had a country wedding shower to attend. Enjoy the slideshow!
