Fun weekend with MeMaw and PawPaw!

We got to go to Tyler last weekend and visit some of our favorite people! As always, we spend lots of time playing games with MeMaw and PawPaw and they are always up to learning new games!
This trip Claire chose to bring the game of Life and Mancala
 Then Claire moved on to teaching MeMaw and PawPaw how to make slime...
                                        

PawPaw was pretty disgusted with how sticky it was at first.

 MeMaw was not a big fan of the first batch either!
 Out of the 4 slimes Claire made, they enjoyed playing with 2 of them, I guess 50% isn't too bad!
 The final activity was spraying shaving cream onto a pan and being creative.
 Claire used food coloring to create her name in the cream.

 When she finished, she went all in and combined all the colors. 
 It was fun to watch her be creative with simple supplies and MeMaw and PawPaw enjoyed it as well, even though it made a bit of a mess! So grateful to have these wonderful people in our lives for the past 11 and a half years!

Happy Birthday America!

We had a wonderful 4th of July! We were able to get come cute pictures at church last Sunday

 Then on July 3rd, we went to the Dynamo soccer game and through Gulf Swimming we got to go out on the field and hold the flag for the start of the game!
 Claire's good friend Addie Hicks and her family joined us for the game and we had a great time!

 After the game, they did a beautiful fireworks display timed to music. A great way to start the holiday celebrations!
 Then for the 4th of July, we kept busy with swim practice and shopping while Jeff was at work. When he got home, we swam for a while, grilled, and played games. It was a wonderful day!
