The Castle in Orange
After a successful day of shopping we finally made it to the castle park. We've been trying for years and it is either raining or we have a knack for trying to go when it is closed for reasons unknown. We had a great time with Granny as always. Great shopping, great company and Casa Ole!
Game Day and Labor Day
What a fun weekend - it started with a trip to College Station for the Aggie's first game of the season, then we drove back through Houston, picked up the dog and headed to the beach.
The Aggies won, the girls survived about 3 quarters in the game and that is with no real entertainment other than the football game. I can't say they are complete fans of being at the game yet. But they'll get there! The season is just beginning.
Ella was a little more excited about the game when she got to hang out with her friend Jenna. So fun having friends with seats so close!
Sitting in the sun and heat for hours wore this little Aggie out. I think she slept from College Station back to Houston city limits.
Here is our annual end of summer sitting in beach chairs pic.
The highlight of the weekend was a visit from Granny at the beach!! We got to escort her to the beach in the golf cart and they she got to watch the girls play around in the sand and the water.We hope she'll come down and visit with us more often!

1st Day of School
Off to a great start! Ella didn't even really want anyone to walk her to class the first day (Michael did, just to make sure she found it OK and then she told him he could leave!) Addy ran off to find friends as soon as she set foot on school property. They are growing up too fast!!
This is going to be a big year for Ella, I can just feel it - for the first time, since maybe she was an infant she wore shorts and a t-shirt to school. And she actually wanted to put her hair up, with a bow. Obviously clothing and hairstyle don't really say much on their own, but the change from the norm for essentially the past 6 years is huge. Then this Friday she brings home some of her school work and she is writing sentence with the words spelled phonetically. Her cover is blown and I have the evidence. Anytime she tells me "I can't" those worksheets are coming out!
Equestrian Camp
Addy got her first horseback riding experience this summer and I think she is hooked! Parents were invited to the last class, so we got to see her in action. The covered arena was nice to shade from the sun, but did not make for the best photos. While not the best shot, I love that I managed to capture the horse sticking his tongue out!
When the kids were not riding, they got to help with the other horses in the stables - they got to know all of the horses pretty well. Here is Addy with Boomer.
