Craigs in Horseshoe Bay

Chris, Mandy and their three daughters, Caitlin, 7, Allison, 5, and Lindsay, 17 months, drove all the way from Ohio to spend some time with Joseph and me in Horseshoe Bay!

Needless to say, our quiet, sleep til noon lifestyle was upended this week! We were submerged in pink Princess stuff, play-doh & fruit roll-ups. It's fun, good lessons to be learned when you welcome your littler family members into your home to visit. It was a blast, we had a great time. I know the girls enjoyed everything. Caitlin especially was all about every outdoor, physical activity we did. So athletic, energetic and happy. Allison is like a pessemistic commentator from the sidelines, making everyone laugh. Lindsay just chills, smiles, eats & sleeps (a lot). Chris and Mandy were happy with my cooking, which always makes me happy. I made Lasagna Casserole, pineapple upside down cake, steak sandwiches & pasta salad (thank you deli), spinach & artichoke dip, Joseph's Grilled Ribeyes and corn on the cob and the girls helped me make chocolate chip banana bread.

We took a pontoon boat out on Lake Travis twice. The first time was shortened by a monsoon-like rainstorm, the second was perfect! We played mini-golf (Caitlin & Joseph got a hole in one!), played at the arcade, went to a floating waterpark (awesome, so much fun, huge blow-up obstacles to climb & slides in the lake) baked banana bread & made salads, raced with the dogs, played cards, swam with the dogs (Cooper actually pulled them to while they held onto his tail), and ate ice cream.

Here are some photos:
