Lauren and I are having a blast!!! Today we swam with the dolphins!!! I have done it before, but it was still AMAZING!!! This was Lauren's first time to do this and she loved it!!! Afterwards, we spent time at the pool & beach. Lauren is napping while I'm blogging. We have reservations for a steak & lobster dinner tonight and then dancing afterwards.

underwater

ok, it was brought to my attention that I haven't blogged in a while. I guess since it is summer, there isn't much going on.

Lauren and I are getting ready for a trip to Cancun. I bought a new camcorder for the trip...it shoots video and pictures underwater!!!

Megan was my underwater model!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

I hope everyone had a GREAT 4th of July!! We did.

My official 3-day weekend started on Friday with a road trip to Austin. We are having birth certificate issues with the Passport agency, so we had to go to Austin to get them!! As long as it was, the girls and I had a blast!!! We loaded up my iPod and jammed the WHOLE way down and back!! It was fun. Once we got to Austin, there was a 2.5 hour wait to get the birth certificates, so we ventured downtown to the State Capitol. I feel like such a bad mom....my kids have never been to the capitol. They enjoyed it. Megan had lots of questions, I told her to do some research online this summer (instead of watching tv). Hopefully, she will do it.

After we got our birth certificates, we headed to Round Rock to the new OUTLET MALL!!!! OMG! That was such a cool place and we did some serious retail therapy!! After emptying our wallets, we headed back. I was thankful to have a 2nd driver!!! We stopped at this HUGE fireworks store and got some sparklers and small fireworks.

SATURDAY, we got up and went to the Duncanville Parade...stopped and got our usual donuts while we waited (a many-year tradition). Then home to get things ready for the Bracks. The girls and made a quick trip to the mall for a new swimsuit, then to the Bracks for sun and fun!! We had my niece, Alyssa, with us, too. After a great BBQ dinner, the girls decided to watch a chic flick (Mama Mia!) then we cooked S'mores over the grill---YUM!!!

Around 830 we went to our usual spot on main Street to watch the fireworks! They were great, as usual. We came home to finish off the sparklers and fireworks. It was a very busy, fun day!!!
