Rain Rain and More Rain!

Wow, what a change in the weather. We get over 8 inches of rain in a week and now we have highs in the 80s! Maybe the end of 100 degree days is here... for this summer anyway! It's nice to see green grass again :)

This past weekend, Ashlyn was invited to her friend Jayde's birthday party and Connie asked me to come along too. The plan was to go to Fiesta Texas, but with the threat of rain and flooding, the plan changed and we ended up at Main Event in Austin. We had a lot of fun playing laser tag (where the team Connie & I were on beat the team the girls were on, yea!) and arcade games and the girls did some rock climbing, too. We never got around to bowling or glow in the dark golf - there's a lot to do there... might have to go check it out again sometime!

Here's a pic of Ashlyn and Jayde on the intermediate rock climbing wall. They didn't make it to the top much on this wall - after about 15 minutes of climbing, their arms were useless. Glad we only got 30 minutes of climbing for them!


While we were gone, Colten and John were going to go dove hunting with friends, but the rain kept them from doing that, too. So they just hung around the house and watched it rain. Sunday we had a nice visit from Mom & Dad - they stopped by on their way home from Colorado (see Mom's blog here for more on their trip). We decided they needed to go on vacation more often if it would rain like this every time they did!
