One last getaway
Before the school year stated we decided to make one last trip to Humble. I had Friday off so we took advantage of leaving early Friday morning and stopping at Granny & Pops for breakfast. We had a great time visiting, eating and watching Dean play. Dean, Matt and Pop spent time outside feeding the deer and learning about wild animals. I think Dean picked up a thing or two. After visiting with G & P we headed to Humble. Lesley was hosting a Southern Living party so we stopped by to help her get ready. Dean and Emma enjoyed playing with princess’ and might have made more of a mess in the clean house than intended. The SL party was a success too. I managed to purchase a much needed paper towel holder and win Matt a prize too!
On Saturday Dean and I watched Morgan’s final T-ball game. If you’ve never watched a team of 4 year olds play T-ball you should! It was quite a site. I think sometimes the little boys thought they were tackling the ball instead of catching it! After the awards ceremony we enjoyed a BIG family lunch at Red Robbin (yum)! All of the kids were so good. I was quite amazed at their ability to sit through a dinner and keep themselves entertained. The fact that they sat us at a long banquet bench might have helped – they could move around the table without getting down. Way to go guys!
Honey and Pops returned from Rome on Saturday night. We sent Dean Thomas and his chauffeurs to pick them up from the airport. I think the sight of Dean helped ease the transition back to the real world! They also came bearing great Italian gifts!
It was nice to get to visit home before the school year got too hectic. We will venture home again on Labor Day. I’m already looking forward to our next road trip!
