It Was a Wild and Crazy Weekend!

We had a very busy and fun weekend! Megan, Jay and kids flew in on Friday. We had Lindsey's Birthday Party that night and then early Saturday we went boating. We decided to go to Echo...we drove up there and there was a triathlon going on so there was no where to park. We decided to go down to Rockport. We found an open pavilion and Austin launched the boat. The weather was kind of crappy and it started to rain. Austin and Jay got the boat out of the water and we just sat under the pavilion and ate lunch...pretty soon the rain stopped and the sun came out. Ty and his family drove up and joined us. We had about 2 hours on the lake and the weather started to get crappy again. Austin, Ty and Jay anchored down the boat and we waited out the storm. About an hour later it was beautiful. The lake was calm and everyone else had gone home. We stayed till about 9:00 and then we went to Red Rock Brewery for dinner. Megan treated us all to dinner and then Ty took everyone to ColdStone for ice cream! I love when my family is all together and laughing and having fun. Jacob and Brayden became the best of friends...Brayden kept calling him Buddy! Sunday night we had a BBQ and Birthday Party for Brayden Lucky...he is 6 years old today! Sunday night Carrie took all the kids to her house for a sleepover! They had so much fun! Then Monday we just hung out at Lindsey's and the kids swam and jumped on the tramp. Then Tuesday it was off to LAGOON...We missed Carrie, Austin, Mariah and Rorke! Wow no wonder I am so tired!

Lagoon...It's what fun is!...

We had so much fun and the kids had a blast jumping in the water from the back of the boat. The lake was crowded and so not much skiing or wakeboarding happened. But we all had a good time!

California...

Where to begin? I think I will just post some pictures and then explain what has been going on.
Megan, Lindsey and I flew to San Diego to visit my Dad and Mom for a few days. My Dad is very sick and the girls wanted to visit with him and try to cheer him up. We did get to sneak in some fun!
