Rodeo

We attended our 5th rodeo on Saturday night and had a blast! I have to be honest...I love the rodeo!!! Donald and all of his beautiful girls came too- even baby Rae liked the rodeo! The kids loved riding the mechanical bull and Big David had to get in on the action too. It was hilarious! We started the day out by attending the rodeo parade and Lil David rode on his school's float. The kids played in the park and then we all went home to nap the babies and head out for the rodeo. Oh, and Lil David did Mutton Bustin again this year and had fun...except for when the sheep stepped on his ear! He was fine but I think he's had his fill of it. What a great day!

Delaney Family visits Texas

We were thrilled to have Leslie, Joey and Carlysle come visit us in Texas! They were only here for a long weekend so we made sure to try to see everything in a few short days. I hope I didn't wear them out too much! Poor Leslie hung in there like a champ, despite being 30 weeks pregnant and the 105+ degree weather each day! We picked them up from the airport in San Antonio and straight to SeaWorld we went! We had a blast! I think their favorite part was the Shamu show...and of course cooling off at the water park.
We had a family cookout, went swimming at Escondido, and some light shopping in town. We had a wonderful time at the Escondido July 4th party and topped it off with another visit back to San Antonio so they could see the River Walk and the Alamo! It was a weekend chock full of fun! We were so happy to have them here and so sad to see them leave!

Floating the River

I had such a great time a few weekends ago floating the Comal River in New Braunfels, TX. I went with a group of friends...without kids! :) We spent the day floating the river and then went to Gruene, TX that night. We went to Gruene Hall, which is supposed to be one of the oldest dance halls in Texas (been featured in lots of movies). We saw Bruce Robison play and then headed on back to our hotel. The next morning, we woke up early, had breakfast at Ihop and home we went! It was less than 24 hours of much needed fun!
