Brave and Jack

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It has been a while (last time was Mother's Day) when the boys and I went to a movie.  I always love taking the boys to the movies because they behave really well and they always seem to enjoy themselves.  So we planned a trip today.  We thought we'd let Rachel have a morning to herself. The movie started at 11:35 so it wasn't so much of a morning by herself for Rachel, but she did get a lunch to herself.

As always the boys behaved extraordinarily well.  It was a pleasure to take them.  We got our normal popcorn and Icees.  They loved the previews.  Unfortunately, they weren't that thrilled with the movie.  It was set in the time of castles and archery and that's just not their thing.  There were no lasers and no one got hit in the crotch.  I thought the movie was wonderfully animated and I thought the story was interesting, but I knew it wasn't their cup of tea as the movie went on.

We came home and then left shortly thereafter to go to HEB to get some food.  Rachel and I each got a cart and had our own lists to get through the store faster.  I think it worked.  The boys came with me.

We weren't home for very long before we went over to Jack's house.  His parents, John and Randa, invited us over for dinner and swimming.  They have a pool.  Before we went over, I had a catch with Evan and Noah in the front yard.  It was our second time that day (we went out before the movie).  Evan backhanded two ground balls I rolled to him to his right.  He was very proud of himself.  Tryouts for fall baseball are in three weeks.

We had a great time with the Stephensons.  The boys had a good time in the pool while we enjoyed adult conversation.  They ordered pizza and we ate.  We brought over an ice cream cake for dessert.  Evan and Jack liked that.  We also cut up watermelon.  Evan and Noah almost ate all of it.

The boys went back in the pool for 15 minutes before we left.

They are in bed now though not sleeping.  I think Noah is overtired.

Until next time...
