Oooh, do ya'll feel summer creeping it's beautiful face in around the corner these days? I sure do! We have been loving the outdoors and the longer days. So I'm going to pretend that the weekend started Thursday night this time. We were invited to go the the golf banquet for Byron Nelson HS. When your high school is named after a famous golfer, you're bound to have an excellent golf team, right? We have several youth students that are on the guy's and girl's team so we were happy to go celebrate their golf season. Peggy Nelson (aka Mrs. Byron Nelson) was there to speak which was really cool AND the girl's golf team was the first team in Northwest ISD history to ever win a state championship. That's a big deal! BNHS has lots of really good athletic teams and these ladies are at the top of their game.
Friday morning we took Eva to the Grapevine Botanical Gardens. I saw a sign for this when I took a back way home from Grapevine one day to avoid traffic. The gardens are free to walk around and they even have a playground.
I tried to make the focus mostly be on having fun and enjoying our family but of course I had to take some photos. Eva wasn't up for smiling because she was too busy taking in all of the beautiful surroundings....and feeding the fish....and running away.
Not pictured: Eva trying repeatedly to climb into the fountain.
Saturday morning we went to Rockwall for our niece's birthday. Mallory's official birthday is Tuesday so I'm going to post more of the photos that day.
Saturday evening my best friend Ashley and her husband Jason came over for dinner and games. Ashley brought along her guitar and Eva was fascinated. Naturally a sing along time followed dinner, complete with a harmonica, tambourine, and maraca. Yeah, our dinner parties rock! Literally.
Sunday night we hosted a neighborhood block party with our youth group. I love that in the photo on the left Ryan and I are posing happily for our photo while Eva is sneaking around in the background. Don't worry, we always have plenty of helping hands to wrangle her in. Or to put a horseshoe around her neck. She really likes parties :)
