This past week my parents went on a vacation to the west coast. So...we decided to take a mini vacation to their house! We invited our good friends, The Shaw Family and headed to Stephenville. Lori Anne and I left early with the baby boys and had lunch and went grocery shopping. When we arrived at the house both boys went down for a nap and Lori Anne and I enjoyed some nice peace and quiet conversation...probably the best (if not most relaxing) part of the week!
When the men arrived with the big kids we were promptly told WE would be driving back with the big kids and THEY would get to ride with the babies! Ha! We went straight into the pool and stayed for hours. We cooked fajitas out on the grill and then went back into the pool! We finally got the kids out around 9pm and put them all to bed.
When we got up Tuesday morning it was raining (and had been for hours). It was only about 65 degrees outside...no swimming. We had plans to go to Jannie and Larry's for lunch on the patio and to play in their yard. Nope. We had to eat inside (we even had to drive in the car to get their because of the rain) and there was definitely no playing in the yard. However, we did get the kids to rest in the afternoon thanks to the cloudy, cool weather.
Then I had a great idea! It was still only about 70 degrees, cloudy and damp outside. We opened up the hot tub and let the kids swim. We made another pot of coffee. The men started a fire in the fireplace outside on the porch where we could see the kids...perfect. We cooked out hamburgers and the kids roasted marshmallows after dinner! Only in Texas can you have a 2 day vacation where you swim in the sun on one day and curl up by a fire the next! Ha!
We ended up leaving a little earlier than planned on Wednesday because David was invited by Baylor to be in a commercial and who can pass up the opportunity to be a TV star!? It was a great time and we'll definitely have to do it again!
