July 4th weekend

What a nice LONG weekend! Thursday night, we were headed up to Southlake Town Square to watch the fireworks show with friends, but REALLY misjudged the traffic jams-- we knew we would never find them with so many roads blocked, so in an attempt to be patriotic, we went to Home Depot instead and bought a flag for the house and watched the fireworks from the parking lot!



Friday afternoon, we crashed the Harris household to love on Tiffany, Ben, and Addison... we got some much needed sun at their pool and ate wonderful hamburgers (thanks to Mike) and all of the fixings (thanks to Wanda)!


Saturday afternoon, Brent put the baby's crib together (after we cleared out the room- daunting!) Half way through us clearing out the room, Allie needed to go outside, so I let her out the backdoor as usual. About 15 minutes later, I heard her bark and ran to the backdoor (totally forgot she was out in that heat), but no Allie. Brent had mowed that morning and forgot to shut the gate so he headed to the front door-- our sweet Allie was there panting and waiting to come in. This no doubt scared us half to death because she was not wearing a collar and confirms our parenting skills STILL need work! We are glad she is a scardy cat and didn't get adventerous.

Saturday night, we went to another Cats baseball game. Brent laughed at me when I went back for a second snowcone... I seriously just wanted to get through all of the flavors ;) Now, I can make an informed decision the next time we go. My favorite is Strawberry, then Blue Coconut, Cherry, Grape, then Banana. A lady in front of me told me they can add cream to it also, not sure about that, but I may be up for trying that too! We concluded the night with another great fireworks show.
