Independence Day

We enjoyed an Independence Day celebration with our friends at Guadalupe River State Park. Matt was feeling pretty perky and adventurous this holiday weekend, so he decided to ride his bike to the park. Matt began his trek early in the morning while I leisurely loaded up the car with picnic supplies. The boys and I drove to the park and met Matt there. It took Matt three hours to ride the 50 miles to the park. He said it was much easier than the last time he did this ride pulling Howie in the bike trailer. Once we were all at the state park, we enjoyed a picnic lunch with our friends and went swimming in the river.

Our independence day celebrations continued the next day with more bike riding. Not to be outdone by Matt, I decided to ride my bike to Boerne. At 40 miles, it was the longest ride I have done in years. It was nice to know I can still do it.

Happy Anniversary!

This month Matt and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary! We spent the day golfing in the rain, reminiscing, and eating chocolate cake. It was a wonderful day filled with much love, just like every day of the last eight years has been. :)

Matt got me new pink golf clubs for an anniversary present. I hope this means we will have many more family golf outings in the coming year.

I suppose not everyone takes their kids along on an anniversary outing, but the boys have so much fun golfing we hated to leave them behind.

I sure do love this guy!

Matt had flowers delivered to the house in the morning. So sweet!

SeaWorld

SeaWorld is such a great place to go when it is a 100 degrees outside. I think we spend practically every weekend at the water park during the summer.

Henry loves to sit on the sidelines eating. If you buy a frozen lemonade, Henry will eat it all.

Sometimes after playing at SeaWorld, we stop at Rudy's BBQ on the way home. My two boys have a crazy love for the creamed corn.

Henry is so cute!

What a goof ball! A very cute goof ball.

This is a site rarely seen--Henry leaving food unfinished. He must have been pretty tired.

This statue is at a park we go to frequently. Every time we go, Henry thinks this is a real guy. He always runs over to say hello and then cautiously grabs his hand. It always takes a few minutes before he realizes it isn't a real man.
