Hope everyone had a fun 4th of July. Ours was interesting, to say the least. We had fun plans to have a picnic lunch at a park with some friends. So...we get to the park (were very excited we found a picnic table under a covered awning to get out of the sun)... unload the vehicles...get children settled with their lunches...start eating....and low and behold it started raining. We finished up our lunch, and the kids run off to play on the playground before the downpour started. We ran to the cars...load kids...and head home. BUMMER! Later that evening, we called our friends and we all decided to go out for the traditional 4th of July pizza buffet. Ha! The rained stopped and we sat at our friends for a couple of hours just chatting while all the kids just played...then we had watermelon! YUMMY! Pretty much all 5 kids were covered in watermelon juice by the time they were finished. All in all we had a fun day despite the rain! It was Clark's first 4th of July as an American.
We had a fun outing today. We headed over to Brazos Bend State Park (you can check it out at
http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/brazos_bend/ We went on a hiking trail and saw over 20 alligators. We actually lost track of how many gators we found. It was really neat...we started trying to see who could spot them first. Clark decided to grab some poison ivy, so we will see if he breaks out. Ali is extremely allergic, so we tried to make sure he didn't touch her before we could scrub him off. That is all she needs at camp this coming week...to break out with poison ivy. YUCK!
Speaking of camp...Ali is all packed and ready to go! She is just so excited. We will leave after church tomorrow to take her. We were told by some friends that if we get there early she can pick what bunk she wants. She will want to bunk by her 2 friends that are going.
I will leave you with some pictures from our week.
