The day after school got out/our 11th anniversary, we drove down to Houston so the boys and I could spend a week with Mimi and Papa. Hayley had the flu, so she and Allyson stayed home. The boys were always up at the crack of dawn, if not before, full of energy. We went to Chuck E. Cheese's, Bouncing Bears, and to the park. But mostly we swam and swam and swam. Mimi and I were plumb tuckered out by the end of the week. One night Papa took them to Chik-fil-A, mini-golfing, and to Baskin Robbins while Mimi and I got our nails done and had a quiet dinner by ourselves. That was nice. I was so exhausted after the drive home I came home and slept for 2 days straight. Then I got a stomach bug and didn't leave the house another 2 days until I went to the doctor. Wowza. Glad the boys had fun!

Colton did try to swim without a life jacket in the shallow end to be like the big boys. It didn't end so well. He was so sad. Maybe next year, buddy!

The boys in their Super Line, jumping into the water:
G-ma sent the boys these towel robes. They kinda look like little boxers in them. They love wearing them. And they happen to match the suits Mimi got them too.
Cooling off with popsicles after bike riding:
Doug came up from Houston, and Mona and Buster drove from Ruidoso this last weekend to be here for Tyler's water party and Father's Day weekend. Mona and Buster ended up staying this week while Matt was in England, France, and Italy for work to help Allyson, so the boys played together a lot this week too.
Next week we will drive to Ruidoso to spend time up there, so they don't have to say good-bye for long!
