So, where did I leave off? Oh, yes, after our time in Weatherford, we headed to S'ville, where we have enjoyed plenty of time with the grandparents, a trip to B'ridge, and time with friends. We've got a weekly Wednesday routine. My dad plays golf at Par CC, on Lake Proctor every Wednesday. The kids and I have gone swimming there around 3, then when he is done with golf and we're sufficiently prune-y, we go riding on his golf cart and water his tomatoes at his house near there. Then we have gone twice to Mary's Cafe in Strawn. It's been fun, with the kids enjoying more golf cart time and me enjoying long talks with my dad.
Can you see Davis helping Grandad drive while hanging out of the golf cart??
Getting some of Grandad's good well water.
Of course, we've been with Mom a lot. On the Friday we got here, we went with her to see the "Dolphin" movie at the Omni Theater in Fort Worth. My sister, Katie met us there. Grace really liked it. Davis was done about 45 mins. into it. Why is it, with him, he can handle all but the last 15 mins. of a movie in the theater? Anyway, after that, we went to Joe T. Garcia's and met my mom and Grandma's friend, Bevan. I had heard Bevan's name for YEARS and it was really nice to meet her.
Here are Mom and the kids waiting for the movie to start.
Davis loved going out in his tighty-whities to help Grandmama gather the mail...
Our trip to Breckenridge went really well, too. I am concerned about Jasen's Graham grandad. He's living alone, which is how he wants it, but he's become a hoarder. It's so disheartening, but he's living out the last years of his life like he wants to: in his house. When we left his house, Grace said "God be with him." It was so sad, and yet so comforting to know our girl knows where the ultimate comfort comes from! Here are the kids with Great-Grandad on the 4th of July.
We stayed out on the lake with Jasen's Gee grandparents. They love to be with the kids and the kids love them. Or, do the kids love Bullet, Oso, and Quasar, the dogs they've had about a year? Either way, the kids always enjoy their time at Granny and Papaw's. This year, they both swam in the lake with Granny, which was a great thing for her. Before Lori died, mother (Granny) and daughter (Lori, Jasen's mom) spent a lot of time in the lake together. I think it was special to Granny to share that with Lori's grandkids. I know they liked it! They are both quite the water babies this year!
Isn't she lovely??
We were so glad we caught Grace in mid-jump!
Since we were there on the 4th of July, we had brats/polish sausage on the grill, potato salad, watermelon and FIREWORKS! Jasen's uncle Tony was the official firework lighter for our dock. The kids loved watching the tanks and bumblebees. Then when it got dark, we had a few that looked like "professional" fireworks. And with Jasen's grandparents' position on the lake, we were able to see a lot of others from our "cheap seats." It was a lot of fun!

The kids draping themselves in Granny and Papaw's flag. Is this disrespectful?
