Fun at Grandma and Grandpa's House

We are home after a long weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's house, one of the buddies' favorite places! Ace and Ben enjoyed lots of family time and outside time while were there. Lake Texoma is still 9 feet high, so the beach that we've been longing for all summer was still underwater, but we had a great time regardless. The pictures below tell the story of our weekend best.

Ben and Ace went swimming in the little pool out front many times.
Grandma even let them help refill it.

Another favorite pass time during our visit was jumping on the trampoline.
You can't beat that view!

Ben enjoyed cupcakes, watermelon, and other pot-luck staples
at the 2nd Annual Festival of the Testicle. Ace had a full helping of calf fries.

Ace thought he was a big kid when he took his turn at the pinata.
He scored some candy and stuffed it in his pockets!

Ben couldn't get enough of the ice buckets. His friend Mallory thought it was fun too.

Other interesting events included: 1) Steve and cousin Dale took first place in the 1st Annual Horseshoe Competition. They have t-shirts to prove it! 2) The buddies learned to say important Texoma phrases, like "golf cart", "Grandma", "Grandpa", "Granny", "Gramps", "lake", and "binoculars". 3) Steve hosted a 13-person poker tournament. 4) We enjoyed lots of trips to Ms. Jean's swing park. 5) The buddies played with all of Grandma's toys and ran around outside as much as they could.
