As I previously mentioned our plans to go camping last week were changed due to all the rain our area has received. Instead we went up to Paul's grandparents for a couple of nights and had a ton of fun with his grandparents, parents, and aunt&uncle. We arrived on Wednesday evening and grilled hamburgers and then had birthday cake in honor of me and Kay whose birthdays are just a week apart this month. While everyone was still coasting on a sugar high we hooked up the Wii game system. Needless to say a great time was had by all. We started out with bowling, where Aunt Kay (who had never played the Wii before) proceeded to kick the crap out of all of us and score 202!!! We then moved on to a little tennis, some great mini games on Mario Party 8, and then finished the night with the cow races on Wii Play. Grammy was laughing so hard while she was racing her cow that the pictures in the slide show looks like she is crying. We were all exhausted after exerting all that energy game playing so we went to bed soon after.
Thursday morning the Paul and his dad went to play golf, while Daddy Sonny and Uncle Larry went fishing. Sandra treated the girls to a Birthday Tea Party. She fixed up her dining area just like a tea room. We lunched on finger sandwiches, fruit salad, cookies, and of course there were a variety of hot and cold teas to choose from. She put alot of time and effort into this lunch for the ladies and it was fabulous!! Thank you so much Sandra!!
Thursday evening we has a good ole fish fry. I'll tell you there is nothing quite like fish fresh and hot out of the fryer. After dinner we all gathered around Grammy and Daddy Sonny's new poker table for a 2 hour marathon of Texas Hold 'Em. I have to admit that I could never be a real poker player because I bet big on every hand. Glad we were not playing for real money!!
Friday we spent the afternoon at the lake. Last month while Paul and I were in San Antonio we purchased a new tow toy. In the past I have always had an innertube to pull behind the jet skis because I love doing that. We finally wore out our tube and it was time to get something new. This time we purchased a "Superfly". It is just a flat solid area that you inflate and then you lay down on your stomach and hold on for dear life. This worked out alot better than the tube because you did not have to worry about falling in the hole of the innertube. I had an absolute blast riding on this and Paul pulled me all over the lake. We even managed to get Grammy, Daddy Sonny, and Kay in on the superfly action!! We all got a little too much sun but we had fun doing it. We were exhausted when we finally left the lake but it was totally worth it. Paul and I then packed up and headed home. We were sorry to see our family time end but we had even more plans for the weekend awaiting us........
Stay tuned for tomorrow's post and slide show of the M3 birthday party we had Saturday night and the rest of our weekend adventures!!!!!!
