Our Little Dallas Cowboy

The other night while Clint and I were watching the Dallas-Houston game, Grayson decided to suit up like the big boys. He had Clint throw him the football, and then he would pretend he was making a touchdown. He got the uniform for Christmas last year but hasn't shown much interest in it until now. He thought it was so much fun that he wore it the next day too.

For the past several years, my family which includes my mom and dad, my brother and his family, my sister and her family, and Clint, Grayson, and I have taken a vacation to Beavers Bend during the summer. This was our 6th trip. Usually there is around 15 of us, and we all stay in a cabin together for a long weekend. Clint and I bring our boat and take Grayson and all my nieces and nephews out on the lake for swimming and tubing. We hang around the cabin and play games, relax in the hot tub, visit, eat and eat some more, laugh, stay up late, and just relax. This year we had the privilege of watching the Olympics together. It's a great opportunity for all of us to pause our busy lives and just enjoy one another.

Circus

Clint, Grayson, and I took a mini-vacation to Dallas this past weekend. We went to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus Saturday night. Grayson absolutely loved it! That's all he talked about the rest of the weekend.
