Olsens Over the Years

We invited the Olsen's over for dinner for our last Sunday here. We leave this weekend for North Dakota and couldn't pass up another opportunity to get together with the Olsen's. This is of course just a see ya later for now because we for sure will see them again.

We then had to recreate this picture of Danny, Dallen, Addie and Emerson.

This then led me down memory lane of other pictures we've taken over the years. These include our times together in Utah, Arizona and now Texas. We'd be happy to host them in North Dakota if they ever make their way up that way. 😁

Retama Park Racetracks

At 10pm last night my friend Tiffany sent me a link to an event I never would have imagined. It was a flyer for ostrich and camel racing. My reply back was "what in the world? Why do I actually really want to do this? 😆" and then within ten minutes we both bought tickets for our families to go for today. It was actually pretty fun and definitely hilarious. They had an open area and the kids were able to just run free between the races. They started with horse races which was pretty cool to see in person and experience at least once. The ostriches were the definite highlight though. It was the most random thing we've ever seen done that's for sure. I'm so glad Tiffany sent me that random text message and that we both bought tickets and went. We even lucked out with some breeze to help out with the Texas heat. Addie had a moment where she struggled though and when she gets in those moods it's kind of hard to turn it around. We decided to head home before the camel races happened which was a bummer because I'm sure that also would have been fun to watch but they weren't going to race for another hour and we'd seen enough of the horse races to last us. Plus it was already getting past bedtime but I'm glad we got to see what we got to see. 😁

River Play

With Grant having a friend day at Urban Air and Hudson having a friend day with his buddy (no pictures though) Addie was so excited to also have a friend day with her good friend Alyssa. She was picked up by Alyssa and her dad where they took her out for breakfast and then went and played in the river and ended with snow cones. She was in heaven. These are the pictures they sent me throughout the morning. Again I'm feeling so thankful for my kids and their good friends. It will be sad to say goodbye so soon.
