Friday we had a relaxing day by the river - drinking cold beer (and juice) and playing in the river. Sarah was a little wary at first but once she got in a few times she had a blast and man was the water cold! Grandma Kate joined us Friday afternoon after visiting Uncle Alex in Denton. Uncle Alex wasn't able to make it because of crazy traffic in Waco. Friday night we just had pizza and watched movies.
Saturday morning we all got in tubes and floated the river right in front of the house (about a 10 minute walk up the river and then 30-45 minutes float down to the house). We had planned to float the Comal River in the afternoon but Mother Nature had other plans. Beverly and Richard arrived around noon and we all sat under the covered patio with our adult beverages and juice for Sarah. Lightning struck a tree right across the river from us and there were some crazy people floating on the river anyway. Saturday night we had dinner at the Gristmill in Gruene. Chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes are awesome anytime!! We got home in time to watch NASCAR - Carl won yea!!!
Sunday morning we packed up for the trip home - we brought home more food than we know what to do with. Sarah was very well behaved and loved playing with "new" toys at somebody else's house. Sarah and I went to gymnastics class as usual on Monday - she was a little fireball. Oh well - she had fun and loves running around with her friends.
Today we planned on swimming lessons but had thunderstorms - so we'll have to postpone. Sarah is pretty good these days - can't believe potty training went as easily as it did. She's even graduated to panties at night (with a double change of sheets on the bed just in case!). Can't believe how much she's growing - she's already in a size 4! Our 3 year checkup in August should be interesting. Hope everyone is doing well - I'll try to update often so check back!
