Weekend Recap

We had a very busy weekend but then again it seems like all of our weekends are busy. This was the weekend of the big Warrior Dash in Forney. Aaron's plan was to stay the night at The Blackingtons so that he could just walk down to the race on Sat. Anticipating a long weekend without Daddy around, Christy invited us over to hang out and let the kids play. Dalton and Aaron ended up hanging out with us most of the night so we didn't miss Daddy quite as much. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures of this evening.

Saturday, Aaron stayed in Forney and did the race while I took the kids to lunch and then to Ethan's T-ball game. I still have not taken any pics of him playing this season but hopefully will do that next week. We then ended our Saturday with church.

Sunday, we did a service project with our small group in the morning. Ethan and Aaron helped out with that while Kate and I stayed home since she ran a random fever during the middle of the night. That afternoon we went rollerskating, yes rollerskating with Aaron's branch. Neither one of us had done this in probably 20 years. It was a little frightening, it took us a while to remember how to skate and Aaron and I have decided we are officially too old for this past time. The kids were not too sure about it either. I thought Kate would be all about it but she was very scared and lasted about 5 minutes in her skates and then she was done. Ethan wanted to so bad but was very scared as well. It took him about 30 minutes to find some courage but he finally tried it and I think he actually had fun. Here are some pictures, notice that the skating rink has not changed at all in the past 30 years. So weird you would think they would update or remodel at least.

Finally, got the courage to stand up and hold on to the rail. Notice the forced smile.

So sad but trying so hard!

He made it all the way around once and he was so proud of himself.

We ended our weekend with a quiet evening at home. Here is Ethan reading to Kate right before bed.
