It Has Begun...AGAIN!!!

As most anyone with kids knows...
school is back in session. My babies headed off to 7th and 2nd grade yesterday!! I can hardly believe it. Look at this picture of Jordan...she can't possibly be this grown up already?!?! She is in Jr. High now at McCullough in The Woodlands. Ironically, McCullough USED to be a high school...the same high school that both her dad and her Aunt Penny attended...MANY moons ago. Now it is only big enough to house the 7th and 8th grades in the southern side of The Woodlands...crazy right?


Then we have "Lil Bro." This cutie patootie is in 2nd grade now...sigh...
Sorry...I have to go take my Geritol now. More later, love ya...LB

Turns Out...

...the Frio had enough water in it for us to have an enjoyable time. There was ONE float that was pretty good, so we did that twice. Other than the Happy Hollow float, we hung out in swimming holes, like this one:

The kids had a great time as well. We had nightly dance offs, and watched movies on the TV my sister and brother-in-law have.

In this picture you see Jackson and his cousin Chase...who were the primary contestants in each night's dance off. And here we have them singing and playing Air Guitar to Linkin Park's "What I've Done" :

Aren't they precious!!

The big kids thought this WAY beneath their coolness...although my 15 year old nephew did show Jackson and Chase a few moves.

Other than that, the trip was uneventful...HOT, but uneventful. We did have our usual "One Thing" happen to us on the way home. We did not get 10 miles from the campsite when I noticed that the back right tire to the camper was flat. Mike had to get out and change it. Last year it was a tire on Amy and Bobby's camper, the year before that it was the fuel pump on my Suburban...always something.
