Hurricane Harbor and Six Flags

Mamme and DadDad gave the kids a Hurricane Harbor/Six Flags trip for Christmas.  The parents got to go too!  Hurricane Harbor was BUSY!  The kids had a good time.  These pics are at Six Flags.  It was SO HOT!!  But it was worth it.  As fast as you could walk up to a ride, you could get on it.  We had to wait for one ride...Mr. Freeze...but only because part of it was shut down.  Once it was fixed Karson rode it 3 times back to back!  The cousins all had a blast and I think the parents did too!  Thanks Mamme and DadDad for a great trip!!

 

The Burrows Came To Visit!

So glad Tim and Danielle made time to come see us!

The girls decided to make a tree house like in the book Bridge to Terabithia.  The only problem was all the grasshoppers that scared them and the tall weeds that made them itchy.  They were so funny. :)

 

 The boys went to a Rangers game...Lanny went too.  They picked him up from work on the way.

 Baseball game was fun until Jayton started running fever!  And the Rangers got stomped. :(

 While the boys were gone, Easton and us girls went shopping.  We shopped all the cute places in Hico.  And even topped our evening off with pie. Yum!

We had a good visit with the Burrows.  So thankful they came!

Schlitterbahn with the Ellysons

We were very blessed to be able to go to Schlitterbahn with the Ellysons this year.  So glad our schedules worked out.  We sure miss them!  Thanks to Nana for the vacay $ we got for Christmas.  We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

 

 

 

 Kourtney, Karson and Reagyn decided to ride the Sky Coaster.  (Macy was not interested.)  They were first outfitted in their fly suits.  Kourtney had a camera on her suit so we could see and hear all the action.  

 Then they were pulled 175 ft into the air.  Once she got the signal from the ground, Reagyn pulled the rip cord! And the screaming began as they flew 70mph!!  :) 

 As you can tell by this pic, they all three had a blast.   

After Schlitterbahn, the Ellysons came to see our new home and stayed with us a night.  We were so glad to have them! 

Camp Evergreen

After a late night of fireworks, it was not as difficult  to get the kids out of bed as I thought it would be.  They were ready for Camp Evergreen!!

 Reagyn was excited to see Callie and her other friends from South Plains!

 

 Class time

 Dodgeball Queen!  Apparently Reagyn was quite a beast at the dodgeball tourney. :)

The theme this year was Celebrations.  Each day they celebrated a holiday with a biblical application of course.  Here's Karson in the Independence Day parade.

July 4th

July 4th was a different holiday this year.  We didn't get to have friends over and we weren't camping.  However, we made the best of it!  We popped some fireworks at the house.  We all decided the best were the ones that detonate under water.  So cool sounding in the tanks!!

 

The next morn we loaded up for another trip to New Home. 

 We stayed with Mamme and DadDad and got to shoot more fireworks with Jaxxon and Maddie.  So much fun!
