The Rest of the Weekend

So I told you about Saturday already. The rest of our holiday weekend was full of adventure also.

Sunday, Leland, Ryland and Lee went fishing. They had a guide that took them to Lake Grapevine. They had lots of fun (except for the part of leaving the house at 4:45 am). Ryland out fished everyone! He had a blast and tried to give his Dad some fishing tips. At one point though, the guide told him he had to either fish or dance, not both. :)

While the boys were fishing, we girls went to church with our friend Donna and then ate at Applebees. We then all returned home for some much needed naps. We girls also shopped at Kohls that evening. So a full day.

Early Monday morning, Leland headed out with 2 students for Austin to attend the State UIL meet. His student placed 2nd in Headline writing! We are very proud of him. While he was gone, we all went to Addison to swim in Randy & Brenda's hotel pool. We swam for about 3 1/2 hours. The kids made great progress in their swimming. We got Ryland and Raylee jumping off the side of the pool which is a big improvement. They are excited for our next swimming adventure. After returning home, Sandy and I went to get pedicures - much needed for sure.

Today we relaxed at home in the morning. It was nice to take a break from all the running around. At 1:30 we headed out to pick up my dad from a meeting he had in town. We all ate at Chili's for a late lunch then I delivered Lee, Sandy and my Dad to the airport to catch their flights. When the kids and I got home, Leland was there too.

We all had a great holiday weekend. We hope everyone else did also. Now for the pictures.

Cousin Brandy lives in Baltimore and brought crab hats for all the kids.
