It's been almost a month since I've posted anything, and a busy month it has been. The first weekend in July we traveled to Bridgeport, TX for the Burran annual family reunion (that's Drummer Boy's mom's side of the family). It was fun to see our family and to watch the girls interact with their second and third cousins. We were also able to meet up in Dallas with my dear friend, Laura and her two kids, Robert and Eva. We went to the Dallas World Aquarium and the kids loved it. It was great to see her, but way too short of a visit. We need to plan another one soon.
The third week of July we headed out to Florida for some time at the beach. We rented a cottage at Sea Grove Beach and stayed 5 nights. Mimi and Grandad went with us and it was a great vacation. The girls loved playing in the sand and Princess loved jumping through the waves. I loved relaxing under the beach umbrella with a great book (The Secret Life of Bees). And Drummer Boy loved being out of the 100 degree Houston weather (It was only about 90 degrees in FL). Drummer Boy and his dad went deep sea fishing one day and had a great time catching some Amberjack, Red Snapper, and King Mackrel. We had a great meal that night! I also loved watching Grandad and Mimi spend some quality time with my girls. It is so sweet to see them delight in each other.
After returning from the beach, we have been staying busy with gymnastics classes, trips to the library, spending time with both sides of our family, and applying for a job (Amy). Not to mention the day at the circus last Saturday. That was a lot of fun. Princess's favorite part was the spinning girls, Pumpkin's favorite part was the horses, Drummer Boy's favorite part was the elephants, and my favorite part was the trapeze artists. Honestly, I think the girls' favorite part was really the cotton candy, and maybe Drummer Boy's too! :)
