SA visits the RGV

Recently, we had visitors from San Antonio come all the way down here to see us. Well, technically the Morgans came to stay with their inlaws who live here, but we were lucky to get to see them, visit the beach together & have them spend a night with us!The girls loved the beach and probably could have stayed there all day if the rainstorm hadn't blown in.On Sunday morning they came over to our house to play, swim & snack. We were all having a great time, then in a split second, Charlotte feel wrong on the trampoline and broke her collar bone! YIKES! We felt so bad..seriously, at least Daniel wasn't the one on the trampoline bouncing her..it was her dad! Because of that unfortunate incident, Jillian and her girls chose to spend a few extra nights her. So we took full advantage and went to see a movie & had a sleep over! Our kids played well together and we can't wait to do it again!! "Come visit us - I mean, come visit your family!!" The next group from SA were the McLeans! Leslie, Ainsley & Cambrie came to see us, while Jason worked and Britton attended his first overnight camp! We hit up the splashpad & had a little picnic! Cambrie was such a champ and loved it! She even bloodied up her toes and knees and kept on playing! One day we had a spa day for the older kids while the babies napped! They were so surprised when we walked in with lotions, hot water, towels, & tons of nail polish! We also made 'mud masks' & foot scrub! The mud masks was an actual delicious chocolate homemade paste from cocoa powder, honey & yogurt. Georgia literally was scraping her fingers down her face and licking it off! The scrub was orange juice & corn meal - not as appetizing but still edible! Don't forget the cucumbers!! Lucky for us they decided to stay an extra night. We got to try out the Children's Museum in Brownsville. It was really fun so we got an annual pass. Hayes & Georgia loved constructing their own mini tables and chairs! Leslie got to experience the RGV in all it's glory..she even found out that plastic bags at Target cost $1.00 instead of being free like in normal cities. Let's not forget karaoke and Girls' Night Out at Applebee's! They made trains, played Barbies, cooked fake cupcakes & dressed up! It was a fabulous time! We went swimming at the Club and Cambrie was so cute, quite a handful, but cute floating around! Look who wants to be an Aggie!!! Gig 'Em Cambrie!! Her Baylor Bear mom was horrified!!
