Fun times and field trips during Mom-Mom's visit!!

The week following Lexi's graduation weekend was our first official week of summer vacation,
and my Mom was also still here visiting with us from Ohio!!

We were able to do some fun things together because of our new relaxed schedule!!

Swimming at her hotel.

Exploring the International Museum of Cultures.

Going on a nature hike at the Cedar Ridge Nature Preserve.

 Venturing into downtown Dallas to the Crow Collection of Asian Art....

......as well as the beautiful Dallas Museum of Art.

  

How about a little Vincent van Gogh?

We wrapped up this fun afternoon with lunch from the food trucks parked right outside the DMA.

What a fun week in spite of all the drizzly, overcast mornings!!

Garrett's 10th birthday

Garrett's birthday fell on the Monday after Lexi's graduation weekend.

It was also the first day of summer vacation.

We were pretty much partied out and broke!

But we did have a couple fun things in our back pocket to make this

a fun day for this guy!!

We made a donut run for breakfast.....

........and got to continue our annual tradition of going to our favorite friends' pool

for the first swim of the season on Garrett's birthday.

We followed this up with a family cook-out on our back patio!!

Happy 10th Birthday, Garrett!!!
