I’m Back!

posted in family |

Oh my goodness! What a week we had last week!

We left over a week ago and spent 2 nights in Hillsboro, Texas for a softball tournament. It was super hot and the fields were in absolutely terrible condition, but the team pulled through it all and played very well, coming in 3rd place against some very tough teams. I was just glad we had opted to get a hotel so we didn’t have to drive back and forth. It also gave us a place to go cool down between games.

We came home last Sunday night, just long enough to get some laundry done and get a bit of sleep before getting up on Monday morning and driving to Branson, Missouri. We had such a wonderful time! We met my family up there and, although it was also super hot up there, but we managed to squeeze a lot of activities into our 3 day mini vacation, including riding the zipline! OMG! We had a blast! Here’s a photo of me (on the far left), my husband, daughter, brother-in-law, great-niece, and sister (far right), after completing our zipline experience. I highly recommend it!

We came home Thursday night and spent Friday cleaning house, laundry and doing yardwork. Saturday morning we headed to Denison, Texas for another softball tournament. If it was at all possible, I think it may have actually been hotter than the previous weekend. The girls played 5 games on Saturday, although we had to leave after game 3, run to the airport to pick up my daughter’s best friend from Chicago, and then drove back to Denison for the final night game. We got home around midnight, then drove back to the fields for 3 more games on Sunday. Once again, the girls played like champs in miserable conditions and this time, they took 2nd place!

We got home last night around 8 and I fell into bed at 9, completely exhausted. I got up this morning to return to work, thankfully it was a slow morning because my brain still wanted to be on vacation! I just have to get through the next 4 days and then we’re leaving for the weekend. I can’t tell you yet where we’re going, it’s a surprise for my husband’s birthday!

Have a great week, and go zipline if you get the chance!

    My husband and I went ziplining in Alaska 5 years ago. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I’m glad that your traveling has gone well!

    Ziplining is on my list of things to do. My husband is afraid of heights though so I will have to do it by myself :)

    Ziplining AND Alaska?! WOW! Now that really would be incredible, I’m so jealous! ::smile

    By the way, I have tried a couple of times recently to leave a comment on your blog, but for some reason, when I sign in with my Google account, it also wants me to register for blogger and I can’t get the comment to post. This seems to be happening to me on blogs requiring Google sign in lately, not sure if it’s just me.

    It was a lot of fun, wish you & Lynn had come to! I think even mom could’ve done it, except for climbing all those stairs.

    I don’t like heights either, so I never looked down! I kept my eyes focused on the next landing spot and never even realized how high up we were (except the one tower that we had to climb up 65 steps!)
