Katie's 30th Birthday

My dear friend Katie turned 30 this year and for her birthday she wanted to go for a girls weekend to float the river. We stayed in this house that was within walking distance to get on the river. We spent much of our time at the house playing what has become one of my favorite games, Whoonu. It is the perfect game to play with a group of people you don't know very well and people you think you already know. Wow, I learned a lot that weekend and had a blast doing it.

Here is the group before dinner at Gruene River Grill. We didn't get to dinner until 9:30 so this was the extent of our night life experience in Gruene but we made the most of it.

Carly (Meggan's best friend), Me, Shannon, Katie, Shelley (Katie's friend from Sugarland), Alyssa (another friend from Sugarland), Meggan (Katie's sister)

Check out all of our shoes. Yes, mine are the tennis shoes....although they were not stylish, they did the job.

While I was gone, Mike had all 4 kiddos all by himself for the weekend (MIMI was in Canada.) He did an amazing job. They went to the park and played on Saturday. He also took the opportunity to dress Carter in "boy" clothes.
He took them to Sunday school and church on Sunday. I was so impressed that he had them all dressed with their hair fixed and still had time to take pictures before they left. Everyone at church was very impressed also. Although he did get questioned about why they weren't matching :-). Not only did Daddy have a wonderful time with the kids, he also had the house clean and dishes done when I got home. What a guy!
