Labor Day weekend in Houston was great fun and lots of fun with family. Friday night, Amanda found a sitter and all the adults went out. We went to a great steak house and out for drinks. Fran picked the wine and it was fantastic although Jerry might have wished she didn't go for the waiter's first suggestion:) The kids all just loved playing together...and taking baths together. I love this pic and am pretty sure there are some of the Carona girls and Altimores that are very similar laying around somewhere!
Saturday, we spent so time with Jeff, Kate, Sean and Charlotte and that was fun. We went to their house for swimming and cook out. Jack and Sean had a great time and
got to spend the night together. We were able to give Charlotte a birthday present in person (which has not ever happened before) and we just all hung out and played. For Luke, the highlight came when Aunt Kate and Uncle Bobby said he could have Sean's old jeep. Luke was in hog heaven! When we got it to Mandi's, he sat in it for hours. It couldn't drive because it was charging but he didn't care. He just sat there in the heat and smiled and pretended to drive. He was so excited because it is green and that is his favorite color. Scott says we'll see this again when Luke gets his first real car.
Sunday, Mandi had a party at her house. It was all of us visiting from Tulsa, Aunt Raini & Eric, Jacque and Steve (who was very nice, BTW), Jarod, Katherine, Jeff, Sean and Charlotte. The kids swam all day and Paki smoked a brisket and turkey. It was fantastic and a great way to end the weekend. Just food, fun and....(take a guess and listen to the music)...you guessed it, family.
And you know what they say about house guests and fish. I am pretty sure we started to stink by Sunday night. We got up early Monday and made the voyage home. We enjoyed every minute and were so glad we got to spend time with all of our Texas family! We look forward to seeing them all again over Thanksgiving (if not sooner, hint hint!)
