4th of July Weekend

The other Sunday Caleb and I had a lot of fun making a pizza, and Jeff was able to capture our creation!
My best friend from Baylor, Gracie, came up to visit with her husband, Paul, and daughter, Isabela, for the 4th of July holiday weekend. Isabela and Caleb had fun playing on our playground while the guys were grilling.

They had not seen each other since Thanksgiving, but quickly became good friends again!

On Friday we all went to the Farmers Market and picked out lots of fruit and veggies to eat over the weekend. We made a festive fruit pizza with all the berries.
At the market, Caleb and Isabela loved eating watermelon, and it was so much fun watching them!
Then we loaded up and walked to the park.
Caleb quickly showed Isabela how things go at the fountains.
Caleb does not hold back at all!
Isabela enjoyed "baby Uke".We went to Arrington Vineyards on Friday and it was a beautiful evening to enjoy being outdoors. The kids were big helpers pulling all our picnic gear in their wagon.

We found a nice spot on the hill to set up for a picnic.
Luke enjoyed the cool temperature.
Caleb and Isabela played on the hill with their ball toys.

Bubles are always fun no matter when or where!
It was such a peaceful night listening to the live music while visiting and watching the kids play.

After dinner we walked down into the Vineyards.

Caleb and Isabela had fun exploring and finding grapes.
On the 4th we spent the morning at the Monkey's Treehouse, and Caleb knew he liked Isabela when she went straight to the trains to play!
After grilling out a fabulous meal while the kids were napping, we all went to our neighborhood pool. It was raining off and on so we had the pool to ourselves and visited on the covered patio when it rained.

Gracie and Paul had brought us Texas dirt before Caleb was born so his first step on soil could be Texas soil. It took us a little longer with Luke, but Luke had his first steps on that same Texas soil while Gracie, Paul, and Isabela were visiting.
Our friends made it back to Texas today, but we already miss them a lot!!!!
