last friday, we headed to college station and enjoyed a dinner at wings n' more with the garretts, benolkens, and katy. after dinner, we played some intense rounds of four square and scooter races. although lee saw him a few weeks ago, i had not seen little wyatt benolken since he was only two weeks old. he is quite the chunky cutie now!
saturday was our big party day. we had a delicious lunch at the garretts and i contributed my fruit cookie pie which seems like its becoming a yearly tradition. 
we swam lunch off for several hours that included jump contests, several rounds of "categories", sharks & minnows, boogie board balancing, and more until we all wore ourselves out. we topped off the day with burgers by phillip and ben & jerry's.
sunday, we finished up our college station visit and headed home. with a pretty packed weekend, our actual 4th of july was pretty low key. i tried another patriotic dessert that turned out to be quite a hit. we also took erin & joe to crave cupcakes for one last visit before they head home to louisiana. joe loves crave as much as his mom and aunt...especially the icing. after the cupcakes, we got in some good snuggle time with will. the morrows were kind enough to include us in their dinner plans so we hung around for a some pappasito's to-go and sprinkler-bounce house-bubble fun from the kids.
who needs fireworks when you can have great times with friends and family without them?!
