Trip

We left last Friday for our little summer vacation. We got to San Antonio in about 4 hours, deposited the kids with my dad for the night, and left for the Hootie concert. We waited in line for about 45 minutes but did get seats (and I use the term loosely). The concert was good. The band played lots of their old songs and some of their new ones. Josh has all their albums so I was familiar with most of the music. We did have to put up with the things you would expect going to a concert in a renowned Texas honky tonk, but overall the crowd was pretty tame. It was fun, but of course would have been more fun to me if it was in an air-conditioned place with cushioned seats. Picky, picky.

The next day we met Josh's family at Schlitterbahn. Bonnie and I avoided the rough stuff, but apparently there are no age restrictions on rides because Kellen and Josh did some of the "red" ones.

Kellen headed home with Josh's parents for the week (yes, I cried), and the 3 of us went to College Station Sunday night to check out the staged house. We also made it to church and missed those of you who weren't there.

So here's some pictures of the weekend. I wish I could figure out how to put them in order, I mean I could if I wanted to take 2 seconds to figure it out.

Our house. It never looked like this when we lived there. I guess we're tacky.




How to confuse a 2-year-old? Take her to her old house which looks totally different. The poor thing was looking in all the closets for her toys.
At Gruene Hall:

Josh with one of the band members. He could tell you who. Darius did not make a public appearance without security.
This was as good as it got for pictures of the concert.
Gran and Bonnie at Schlitterbahn. This was the only picture I took that day, but I think it's such a cute one.
Another house picture:
We have really loved having Bonnie by herself this week. I had planned to start potty training, but I tried it for a day and decided to go back to diapers. I just don't have the energy right now, and she's not really ready. She was fine with going back to diapers, so we'll do it in a few months when things have calmed down (do they ever?) after the baby is here. Anyway, Bonnie is getting spoiled (especially by her daddy) and loving every second of it. I'm also getting spoiled because she will actually play by herself.

I had a doctor's visit this morning, and everything is going well. I am officially scheduled for induction on Monday, August 4. The doctor mentioned something about how babies sometimes come early, but I don't think he knows what he's talking about. I don't have time for her to come early. August 4 is just fine, thank you very much.

Josh flies out tomorrow to spend a few days with his family and bring Kellen home on Saturday. My mom is coming down this week to hang out and make curtains.
