Rough Riders game

JuJu and PaPa T came for a quick visit. We went to a Frisco Rough Riders game.

Not sure how much baseball the girls watched...

Sweet Kate had just gotten her braces on and was a trooper. Even though she couldn't have peanuts or popcorn. 

 They loved the mascots and the between inning entertainment. 

Camryn wanted to sit in seat 3...her favorite number. 

Breakfast with JuJu and PaPa T on Thursday before they left.  

Thanks for coming to see us!!!

Braces!!!

Well, Kate has a new smile.  She got braces this morning!  She's been sooooo nervous but she did great!!!  This is phase 1.  Basically they are straightening her teeth to be able to put an expander in in about 6 months.  She will wear the expander for about 1 year.  

She's smiling for now.  The biggest bummer is no popcorn, no nuts, and no Cheetos!  

Splash Park

We went to the Splash Park on Sunday afternoon.  We've been swimming so much this was a nice change of pace for everyone.  

 Playing tag...

They made a deal with Kate for her to "jog" because they could never tag her!

I love Camryn's expressions in these...

Summer days are the best!

Golf at the Creek

We tagged along for 9 with Parker. It's super hot but the girls still had fun. Parker got them their own pink balls to putt!

We found a turtle in the rough. Their first real turtle to see. Kate was the only one brave enough to hold it. 

After golf we played Jenga and ate dinner outside.  

Love summer nights like these!!!  Just wish you didn't have to wait til 8 PM for it to "cool" off!

Lakeside (Teddy Bear) Park

We went to Lakeside Park this morning...this is a summer tradition.  The girls love the Teddy Bear statues.  And I love that it is so pretty and peaceful.

Kate wasn't thrilled about going so I made her an "I SPY" page of things to find while we were there.

 All 3 crossing things off their paper.  This ended up being so easy and such a fun idea.

Camryn loved it just as much as Kate and Brynlee...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 By this point they were done...but I love the water plants!!!

She's so grown up!

 Sweet Camryn...

Loving summer days with my girls...even though they seem looooong some days!
