Anthony came over Saturday morning to spend the day and night with us. I took the boys bike riding. I almost had a heart attack. I was just sure one of them was going to get run over in the almost non-existent traffic in our little subdivision. We came home to the safety of our backyard. My nerves just couldn't take riding with both boys. Then Saturday night we took them to eat at Chili's (as per Anthony's request) and then bowling. The only drama of the night was when Andrew's head got closed in the door at Chili's. It was an accident. His head is hard. It's all good.
When we go bowling, which isn't often, Andrew and Anthony both like to break out in spontaneous dances when music comes on. Maybe that's why we don't go bowling all that often. I need to upload(?) the video from my phone so y'all can see the craziness that is those two dancing. There is nothing like it. Just so you know, Andrew got his moves from Patrick and Anthony from Sarah. Hector and I don't dance.
Sunday, we went to church and then Sunday afternoon some of the kids in our youth group had a high school graduation party. After that, we went to Patrick's parents' to swim and have sandwiches. Patrick's brother and his wife and girls came, and I think Andrew was in the pool well over two hours. Once the sun started going down, I hopped out. It was too cold for me.
Monday we went to my parents' for lunch and family time. Andrew entertained his great-grandmothers by singing for them . . . a lot. They seemed to enjoy it. ;) After eating (too much) we hopped in the Mule and Gator (not animals . . . vehicles) and headed down to the gravel bar to swim. Normally we swim right by my parents' house, but due to all the rain (and no one is complaining about it) the water is too deep and swift for the kids so we went downriver just a bit. Andrew found a stick, which we still have, and a bone, which he insists is a T-Rex toe. Yes, I let him play with the bone. It was petrified. Who knows . . . maybe he did find a T-Rex toe!?! :)
The only reason he posed for these pictures is because he wanted pictures of his bone and stick. Otherwise, it's very hard to get him to be still long enough to look at the camera. He's busy exploring. He's a country kid at heart and hopefully, one day soon in reality.
It was a great weekend. It's easy to forget how nice it is to just relax and enjoy your family. Next week Andrew starts swimming lessons and gymnastics, but we're looking forward to many more relaxing weekends throughout the summer.
