Grandparents visit

Finally all the grandparents have come to visit with us in our new home. It only took 5 months, and we were happy to have them here. Of course, we get to see Granddad and Grandma Jules on a regular basis now that we live closer to Padre. We enjoy getting to have them over for a Saturday night dinner, watch a movie, then wake up and go swimming! Hayes said Granddad and Grandpa to Sam for the first time unprompted last weekend..it was such a sweet surprise, but I think a bit confusing..make your mind up Sam!!Grandma, Daniel's mom, was the next to visit. She came in early June after she and Grandpa went on a cruise to Alaska. Grandpa stayed to care for their dogs Scout and Kody and will be here in September for hunting season. Sherry came during the end of VBS and got to see the girls in action singing and doing hand motions to the new songs they learned! While she was here she took each of the girls out for an individual date. Georgia got to go get icecream with Grandma. She chose chocolate and loved it! Emmaline got to go to see Madagascar 3 and got candy and popcorn and of course loved it. We went to check out the Farmer's Market. It was ok, but we managed to find some good herbs and cute hair bows!While we never made it to the beach, we swam our little hearts out almost everyday. We also had a nice brunch at the Country Club. It was definitely one of the fancier meals our kids have had. There are no pictures because I was busy making sure they didn't destroy their crystal! They did pretty well and loved the endless dessert. We also checked out the pool and decided we would be back. It was a great visit with Sherry. We also got to go on 2 date nights while she was here! The first night was last minute and we went to a local bar where there was karaoke. It was kindof a biker bar, but lots of fun, open air. And the karaoke is always hilarious. The next night me and Daniel made reservations in McAllen at a swanky restaurant we had heard good things about. House Wine was super nice and really yummy. It was so hard to choose what to get off the menu. We got flights of wine so we could try out all different kinds. I went for Pinot Grigio. We had a cheese and meat tray for apps, then I had salmon risotto and Daniel ordered mahi, I think. So good and I can't wait to go back! Thanks Grandma for everything! My parents came next. They came Father's Day weekend while Daniel was sick, poor thing. We enjoyed Mexican food, swim lessons, where Georgia finally jumped in the pool thanks to Pop! She also glided to him a bunch! One day was spent downtown browsing antique shops, trying out an old tyme soda shop and enjoying an overcast afternoon! It was really fun, there was lots to look at (and buy for the right price) and the girls did really well. They were oohing and aahing and loving all the pink, frilly things! We ended up dropping off Hayes with Daniel; they were both sick at home and took long naps! Hayes ended up at the dr. with double ear infections and swollen tonsils. We went to the beach one day, ate at Daddy's and enjoyed a thunderstorm on the way home. We never got to do much since Daniel was so sick the whole time they were here. He ended up taking himself to the doctor, thank goodness, and after being told her had all kinds of issues he had to check into the hospital for an IV for 6 hours. Pop's father's day gift! The moon is Pop and my kids 'thing', so it was fitting! my outfit from when I was little!! Thanks to our families for coming way down south to see us! We love ya'll!
