Fantasy weekend

What a great weekend I had....Mike when out of town to be w/buddies - so Jodi & kids came to visit.....It was GREAT!! My backyard is becoming exactly as I wanted (somewhat). The kids jumped and jumped on the trampoline and would go from pirate ship to theatre to swings to tent.....we watched very little TV - because we loved being outside. I really love having the kids here. Day one was late - but Jack and Molly were excited to ride in papa's new truck - it was amazing - they talked and talked and talked all the way from Keller to Granbury. Fri a.m. was off to the farm - which wasn't a blast - but we did pick beets, apples, peaches, onions and look around in the heat of the day. When Jack told the owner he (Jack) needed some AC - and so did the owner - we decided to go home. so more fun at Nana's house. Sat. was fun also - went to the city beach....which I must admit was really quit fun....unbelievable for Granbury....then some shopping, finding great buys on shoes, and $1 toys that the kids really liked. Molly was brave - saw a frog and wanted us to catch it, which was a negative, then I told her to be brave and quick and just reach out and get it - she snatched it up and named it "buttercup" after the movie Princess Bride. She carried it around and rubbed it, then set it free. What a sweet heart. Jack was the best boy ever...he had so much fun playing in the tent and running the show. He has the best imagination ever....he will write plays and be famous I KNOW! Well, as usual I'm sad I didn't take pictures. Well, gotta go.
