Baylee



Last week was one of the best so far this summer! "Uncle Bryan" and I had a great time because our niece, Baylee, visited with us for seven days! Everyone involved, well at least the Yourees, had a GREAT time. I hope Baylee did too!

The weekend started off with a Texas wedding and church on Sunday. We also saw a great movie on the OmniMax. Yikes, I felt like was going to fall off the edge of the seat!

Then, we celebrated the hottest day of the year (105 degrees, actual temp) by visiting Six Flags! Bless. It was fun despite the heat. I believe, we made a roller coaster fan out of Baylee. How many times did she ride the Batman? That'd be three. By the end of the day, around 9:00 p.m., Bryan and I started feeling our, um, age. And for the record: I HATE the Judge Roy Scream.

Tuesday found us splashing around at NRH2O, a family-friendly water park in Tarrant County. The Green Machine water roller coaster was my favorite, as well as the wave pool. Baylee had fun frolicking around each section all afternoon. This was way cooler (literally!) than Six Flags!

Sadly, Uncle Bryan had to go back to work on Wednesday, but Baylee and I had fun visiting the Cowgirl Hall of Fame and the Science Museum, where Baylee bought some astronaut ice cream. Let's just say it was weird both in taste and texture. :-)

Thursday we baked cookies, went swimming, and played with little Lucianne. It was a great day to recover from our big events earlier in the week.

Friday found us at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing--very interesting. Of course, all that talk about money inspired us to shop the afternoon away! We found some great deals and cute clothes for our 12-year-old diva. Teehee.

Needless to say, we were super sad to drop her off on Saturday. We can't wait until next summer!

Baylee, come back!
