Parties

This morning we didn't really sleep in. Noah kept coming in.  He was concerned about Simon.  Simon slept fine downstairs.  It turns out he just has really bad arthritis and needs lots of help getting up.  Once we got him up he was able to walk around decently.

Morry went to the baseball fields at 10am to help with the cleanup.  He was there for a few hours. 

The boys and I went to Sams Club.

At 3pm I took Noah to a birthday party.  He had a good time there.  Many of his friends from school were there. There was a bouncy house, and Noah even got to ride a horse.  Yes, they had horse rides at this party.

Then, we came home for a few minutes and left again for another party.  We all went to a party at our friends' ranch in Driftwood.  The boys had a really good time.  There was a zip line, hay rides, egg toss, pumpkin decorating, and more.

We just got home a little while ago.  The boys are ready for bed and in their rooms.

Ranch

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today we had no where to be in the morning.  We had nothing that needed our attention and cause us to have to wake up early.  It was a nice feeling.  I think Evan got up after 7 and went downstairs to play MLB Power Pros on the Wii.  Noah got up sometime after.

We both woke up around 9.

I played Wii with the boys while Rachel continued to make cookies.  We had a potluck party to go to today and we were bringing cookies.  We made sugar cookies the other night.  Rachel baked chocolate chip and meringue cookies this morning.

We had a late lunch after Rachel had finished baking everything and we cleaned up.

Around 3pm we started to get ready to go.  The potluck party was hosted by our friends Will and Bradford.  They recently bought 200 acres in Driftwood, TX which is where the Salt Lick is.  It's past the Salt Lick from our house.

The property was really nice.  It butts up to a small river or large creek.  They had hired life guards and rented an inflatable water slide.  They also build a three story tree house on one very large tree as well as installed a zipline from that tree.  Evan had a blast on the water slide at first while Noah liked climbing in the tree house. Evan also really enjoyed the zipline.  Will is a fire fighter so I really could tell that everything was especially safe.  We never actually swam in the river/creek but nevertheless it was a nice late afternoon/early evening.

We came home and gave the boys showers.

Until next time...
