For the past few years, the Powell's and Huey's and our family try to get together. We have gone to each other's homes and taken a couple of beach and cabin camping trips together. But, with everyone in school and kids getting bigger, those vacations seem to become less. We need to work on that! However, we did get the Powell's in town for a weekend at the end of October and it's always so much fun! With Mandee and Derek, like many of our friends who we don't see often, we can pick right up where we left off and have the best time. And our kids have so much fun together. Beck and Ben and Atticus and Grace just play and play (and those boys are always SO sweet to include Grace in everything!). So, they came into town Friday afternoon and left Sunday morning. We hit up the pumpkin patch, played baseball outside, ate Mad Taco, cooked out, stayed up way too late visiting each night while the kids crashed, and it was just a great time.
They arrived Friday night; we ate fajitas for dinner; and they got busy playing!
They were up early the next morning to pull every toy out and play and play! Even Everly enjoyed herself.
We hit up the pumpkin patch next to let them burn off some energy. I mostly took pictures of Everly - the cutest pumpkin in the patch!
Then, before we went to lunch, we headed to the corn maze. For a cool day, it ended up hot and everyone was tired, but it was fun to see what TAMU Ag can do when they put together a maze!
Then we headed to eat at Mad Taco.
Then, we headed home to a beautiful afternoon of kids (and dads - I need to post those videos!) playing baseball! I love that Atticus used his football helmet for Halloween as his batting helmet, since he didn't have one. Luc and Ellie, from next door, came to play too! Actually - here are links to the videos, although I don't expect anyone to find them as funny as I do! You may have had to be there!
Ben wouldn't smile - he is such a cute little stinker! But, he's the sweetest to Grace; I hope these boys always take care of her when we are together. Melissa and Ella also came by because they were in town for the football game.
Then, they came in, drew mascots for awhile, we ate steaks and kabobs, and attempted to put them to sleep on the floor with a movie. I think they finally fell asleep!
It's always a great weekend with our friends in town!
