Grand Grands

We spent a wonderful week with Memom & Grandaddy in Beaumont!!!



We weathered the wan-a-be tropical storm Edouard. Living down south I remember lots of hurricanes!! By God's grace none of my memories are the likes of Rita that brought my family evacuating here in 2005. This storm only closed some businesses... the rain and wind did not even damper the day.



Planning to stay only the weekend, we packed for a weekend. As mom's schedule opened up we were thrilled to stay the week! We did laundry daily and enjoyed going shopping! THANKS MOM!!



Bible School... We also caught the VBS program of my parent's small Church. Each evening the girls were thrilled to go with their friend Nicole. We so wished the girls' cousin could come too. Alas, Lovebug was a lone girl with her group of boys and she was not alone. She stood on her own and enjoyed the songs & motions of the program! Yea!



My brother was working and he has a schedule that's hard to catch! He works 3p to 3a!! We were glad when his daughter could come to play! Cousins are great!!



The girls spent many hours coloring the back patio brick. Grandaddy had the best chalk. It was HUGE. The girls colored each brick & then painted it with water. It made a lovely colored walk! How did I miss picturing that??



Hubbie joined us for the weekend. The opening of the Olympics was fabulous!! Mom & Dad have a great spot to watch the events!!



We headed to church & then 200 miles to home on Sunday. We made it to my favorite zoo! We enjoyed our stop at the Ellen Trout Zoo in Lufkin. The raccoons were out... the otter was swimming & eating... the baby flamingos were grey... a worked carried around a baby sloth (he's on their web sit too)... the bear even posed for a shot with us... God's Creation!!!

Love ya Mom & Dad!!!!

Grace!! ss
