Saturday we took the boys to the Science Museum where we spent a few hours. They (and we) had a great time! It was really neat with a TON to do, even for little guys like Braidy and Crockett. They played in a firehouse, in bubbles and water, painted thier faces (Braidy did his own), ran around like crazy kids, climbed a HUGE treehouse, rode the seesaw together, Braidy rode a little motorized scooter thing, built with blocks, pushed block-built structures down, Crockett sat in a tractor and loved every minute of it, made paper cups fly, and TONS more. Aunt Darla, Uncle Tim, and LuLu were great sports and so much fun to play with!
After a LONG nap on Saturday we had our reunion dinner that night. It was a little wild with lots of kids running and screaming, but it was fun. Braidy and Crockett played with some play-doh and bubbles with our cousins and had a great time!
Sunday we had our family church service. Sitting with 2 boys under the age of 2 for any length of time is not easy, but to sit there trying to keep them quiet for almost an hour is just about impossible. I will say they did pretty good. Braidy was watching my Uncle Tim lead the music and would do his arms just like Uncle Tim was doing...it was pretty funny. Crockett was singing along with the songs. The only small incident is when Braidy launched a bag full of goldfish into the row behind us. Everyone thought it was pretty funny. I was mostly embarrassed, but too, found it pretty funny. The man behind us made a great catch. Good thing I had JUST closed that bag, or the fishies would have gone EVERYWHERE, making that small incident a much bigger incident.
After a great lunch at Cracker Barrell with the Lowry's, the Stone's, the Lewis' and the Curry's, we headed home to the LBK. Lubbock had gotten TONS of rain while we were gone, so we were praying we would come home to a dry house...and we did! YAY! Not only was it dry, but we had our own mushroom garden waiting for us also. Seriously, our front yard was WHITE because of all of the mushrooms. I spend a good part of yesterday picking them out of our yard...yuck. Some were small, others were about 6 inches in diameter...sick. Not sure i'll ever want sauteed mushrooms again. Sunday night we got some sparklers for Braidy to do to celebrate the 4th of July. At first he was NOT interested and a little scared, but eventually he warmed up to them and decided they were pretty cool. Overall, it was a very successfull 4th of July weekend, spent with family who we all love dearly.
