I hope everybody is having a wonderful night.
Micah came to see us last week on his journey to Texas. Jared picked him up in Austin and he came to our house for the evening. It was wonderful to see him and we enjoyed every minute. Micah (not to embarress him,) has one of those amazing, infectuous laughs that you NEVER forget, even when you hadn't heard it in a while. Well, it made my day, as well as my week to hear his awesome laugh in person. Thank you , Micah, for the laughs! The kids enjoyed using him as a play scape, and he really didn't seem to mind. He got to see how Hayden's room/ the playroom REALLY looks during the week. He waded through the toys, and made himself comfortable amidst the piles, to sit down and play. He must have been shown every toy in the vacinity. He will be given a "Hayden & Kaylen Toy Test" next time he comes to visit.....
On Thursday, we ventured to Magnolia Beach for our annual Labor Day family get together. I truly believe an amazing time was had by all. For starters, I have never seem so much food in all of my life. I am not usually an eater, but I, as well as everyone else, I observed, ate, and ate, and ate. I guess when you get a bunch of Bohemians together, all you do is consume grub. I'm not complaining! While we were there, we mingled with some of my Mom's family over a crawfish boil. I think we topped out at 30 people, which was a blast! The more the merrier! Somehow, we had enough food and room, so everyone remained comfortable and relaxed.
During our beach jaunt, we swam, and ate, rode motorcycles, took threats from Gustav, fished, visited, ate, fished for crab, searched for shells, played with cousins, got sunburned, ate, peeled shrimp, few bit by jellyfish, kayaked and simply relaxed, all while eating!
Midori, our foreign exchange student from 1986, joined us in our festivities, all the way from RIO! She had been in the states on business and decided to drive down for the weekend. What a wonderful addition! We see her every couple of years, and it was great to see her again. Every time she visits, new babies have joined the mix. I think she believes that our family explodes every few years!
Well, I'm getting to sleepy to continue. Here are some photos to commemorate our awesome and memorable trip!
Tomorrow, a special blog that I have been pondering for a while now. You'll just have to wait.....
