RyRy surprised us yesterday!!! He flew into Lubbock where his friend J.P. picked him up to attend his families males at the lake tradition for the last week of May and into Memorial Day. They stopped in Amarillo for a quick lunch, so we got to spend a little time together. :)We went to Austin the end of April and got to ride the light rail into downtown, a highlight of Joe's trip for sure. :) We hung out on 6th street for a while, tried on hats (my cousin Zane got married before the Kentucky Derby then had her reception before, during, and after the race so I needed a hat), then headed back up toward Ryan and Brittyne's in time to meet Ashlan and Bryan for dinner as they came in from Houston. Fenway and Kelty had their first meeting in Ryan and Brittyne's third floor apartment, not quite enough room to play, so the next morning we took the dogs to Austin Town Lake where they played in the "no leash zone". Then to Barton Creek Greenbelt where Kelty got initiated into water play. He was timid at first then really took to it. The cutest part was Bryan holding him just above the water and him paddling his front paws. :) Sunday morning was really nice we went to a great park close to Ryan and Brittyne's and played with Fenway, a Frisbee, and an Aerobee. Joe got to visit a couple of bike shops and actually found a rack for the truck bed.
I had a sewing weekend for Jennie's sister Elizabeth's baby shower. Elliot helped me pick out flowers for my "Derby" hat, and she wanted to wear it before we started decorating.
In addition to "making" Pops' birthday cake this morning, Elliot helped me water flowers, was introduced to sidewalk chalk, got her toenails painted, and had to "freshen up" for a birthday party she was going to attend right after lunch. Pics of the cake are forthcoming. He gets it tomorrow. :)
Life is fun!!!
