Week 27/52 (Summer, Week 5)

Dearest Jax & Colton,

We'd been anticipating Week 27 for a while because we knew our family was driving from Indiana to stay with us!  

Before they arrived, we slipped in another visit to Hawaiian Falls:

And another family dinner:

Everyone rolled in over the weekend and we hosted a small get-together to celebrate our country's birthday.

Then we introduced the family to our no-longer-secret spot for firework watching and made sure to take our annual tailgate picture.

Tuesday was fun & cheap as we explored Fort Worth.  We started at the Botanical Gardens.

And we also checked out the stockyards and watched the cattle drive.

The day ended with a yummy BBQ dinner and I don't know why it wasn't photographed.?.? Maybe because Uncle Mike & Aunt Jess had already been there before ;)

Everyone got a taste of our sports schedule on Wednesday when we had both a swim meet & a baseball scrimmage on our calendar.

The meet was in Grandpa & Grandma's neighborhood!

 Thursday was family road trip day and we drove the 2 hours to Waco.  The entire purpose was to visit Magnolia Market.  Since I doubt this will make sense by the time you read these, Magnolia Market is owned by Chip & Joanna - an adorable couple we like to watch on tv on their show, Fixer Upper.  After seeing it all on tv, we wanted to see the store, the silos, and the garden in person & it was as adorable as I imagined!

Thanks random stranger for the only group shot we got the entire week!

Thursday was also the day that we decided that, from now on, the Hoosier family will only be flying south in the winter and the four of us should do our visits in the summer!  : )
