The post of things we did before we started the blog

We had a semi-slow start to summer as Emily and Olivia were both in summer school taking classes to get a ahead and free up space for other electives. However, we were able to squeeze in some fun as well. Emily and Ellie were both on swim team and competed each Saturday. They both did a really great job!!! We also got to watch the Aggie Baseball team in post season play! (Unfortunately, their college world series run has come to an end.) Then Jennings and I left for a trip to the lake in Mississippi with my niece, Avery, and some more of my family. We had a great time!

Jennings has flown before, but he was only 2 at the time and could not remember it. Needless to say, he was VERY excited about the opportunity! He was a great traveler! He did not have any ear or headache complaints on the plane and was great at pulling his suitcase around airports! He did really well each time we went through security and was very helpful! Even though I got randomly selected for further screening twice, he always was very patient and a great listener!

 There was plenty of sand digging....

 Human Cannon balling....

 Laughter and smiles....

 minnow catching...

 Splash pad spraying...

 Troll hunting....

And picture posing!

Jennings and Avery both had a great time and were both quite sad to see the fun times come to an end. Then, on the way back to the airport in Jackson, Jennings and I made a stop at the Jackson Zoo for one more bout of fun before heading home!

All was well and good, aside from our plane delay in Houston. We were so close to home..and yet so far!!Luckily our amazingly awesome friend, Lindsey, not only rescued us for dinner between flight and took us to chickfila, but also came back and rescued us again when we realized our flight had been delayed by about 3 hours! She willingly came and picked us up and drove us halfway back to college station where we were met by Phillip and taken the rest of the way home. It was a fun, but exhausting trip!
