Let me just say... The weather was AWESOME this week!!! We had beautiful warm, NOT hot days that were almost spring like. I actually wore a light jacket to swim practice on Tuesday morning... Seriously! Okay, moving on...
On Monday we went to the zoo with some friends. It was a beautiful 89 degrees and breezy. It was July at the zoo and I didn't even sweat... Unheard of, people! We had a great time. Some of my favorite pictures from the day...
On Tuesday we had a nice relaxing day at home. Our activity for the day was to make some patriotic cookie flavored with jello. They were alright- tasted mostly like a shortbread cookie, but the boys had fun making them. We had a picnic lunch outside under the big tree out back and they both loved that.
On Wednesday, we had a full day. After swim practice, we headed home to change clothes and go to Reed's doctor appointment. At the zoo on Monday, he had complained of his feet and ankles hurting. He has flat feet (just like his daddy) and the week before Brian had suggested that I take him to the podiatrist just to check out his feet. Brian was wearing orthotics in his shoes by the age of 3, so he has dealt with this pretty much all his life and I'm really glad that he encouraged me to take Reed. We went to the new podiatrist, Dr. Cornwell, and she was awesome! Turns out Reed needs to have orthotics too, so she took casts of his feet and they should be here in 3 weeks. He is very excited! After the doctor, we drove over to Weatherford to run a couple of errands and the boys wanted to eat at IHOP. Then BACK to Granbury to see Despicable Me 2 (which I have been looking forward to since I heard they were making it... I LOVE Despicable Me!) We loved it so much and will probably go see it again. :)
Thursday was the 4th, so we did our normal parade, swimming and fireworks. The weather was great, so the parade was great!
The boys came away with a lot of stuff (frisbees, cups, candy) and I caught a random t-shirt! If you know me at all, you know I love a free t-shirt. Totally made my day. :) We went swimming at Gammy and DadDad's and at one point Reed was swimming with Hudson back and forth across the pool helping him with his strokes. It was so sweet.
After we watched the fireworks, the boys showered and asked to sleep in Hudson's room together. We could overhear Reed reading his book to Hudson before they feel asleep.
On Friday I gave the kids an hour of free video game time. It was a (much needed) nice day of hanging out around the house. Only 7 weeks until school starts... boo. :)
