Cousins: Day 4

Swimming day!  Megan and her boys came over to swim at about 10:30 this morning, and my roommate Britt joined us for our excursion.  The pool was the perfect temperature, so we stayed for quite awhile playing games and "boinging" with Bennett.  More on that later.

Megan invited us to Chick-fil-a, so we ended up joining them for some tasty lunch.  One of my favorite parts of the week was shortly after our meal, when we drove to Sonic and picked up 8 large ice waters to drop off for the construction workers in our neighborhood.  They've been working hard the last several weeks and it's HOT.  I hope it was a refreshing treat for them!

After showering, the girls prepared the calzone dough and set it aside to rise for the afternoon.  We ran a few errands and returned to find Cousin Becca and some fluffy dough, ready for baking (the dough, not Cousin Becca).

Becca and Allison masterfully create their pizzas/calzones...

Rachel and Annabel show off their "cheesy smiles" (ha, get it?)...

 Mmmmmm...

Family dinner!

The evening craft involved making a journal, so Becca helped get the girls started on their projects...after dinner they modged-podged like they'd been doing it for years!

We finished the evening with the grand finale of Anne of Green Gables, and it was just as good the second time as the first!  It's such a beautiful story, and I'm so glad the girls enjoyed it!

Exhausted, Annabel and Allison climbed into bed and we read two chapters of the Jesus Storybook Bible - a great read that has provided opportunity for great questions and conversations this week.

We're looking forward to our last full day in Dallas tomorrow...this week has flown by!
