Hurricane's and Softball

Well its been a while since I updated the post last.  As of last post we enjoyed labor day weekend. Natalie went to spend it with her grandparents and I went out of town for a little weekend getaway.  It was really great and I enjoyed myself tremendously.  It was great to have an adult weekend away from Austin or Fort Worth. 

This past weekend, Hurricane Ike rocked the shores of Galveston and the Houston, Texas area.  As a result our trip to Austin was postponed. I didn't want to face the mass of people evacuating and then get caught up in the possible rain storms. As a result Natalie and I stayed behind in Fort Worth.  

Grapefest, the annual wine event in Grapevine, Texas, was going on and I thought Friday night would be a great time to let Natalie ride some rides.  In case you all forgot, back in May, I posted about Grapevine Main Street Days, well this was the same just add a lot of wine! :)  We only spent a little while there, but I did get some cute pictures.

Saturday, Natalie had a spend the night Hurricane Party with my good friend Mindy and her daughter Kylie.  They really enjoyed themselves and when I picked Natalie up Sunday morning on the way to church she was grins and giggles.  And where was I while Natalie partied hurricane style?  I was watching a football game on T.V.   I didn't do anything exciting, but just relaxed.

Sunday, we were off to church at Fellowship Church.  (www.fellowshipchurch.com) They have an absolute wonderful childrens program.  Natalie really enjoys going to the sunday school.  After church we went and had lunch, watched some TV, cleaned some, and then we made Enchiladas for dinner. Mindy and her daughter, Kylie, came over to eat with us and after dinner we played Softball, soccer, football and catch phrase. The highlight for the little girls was the outdoor play, for us adults it was catch phrase.  And NO, I did not cheat!!!!

Auntie was on her way to pick up Yay-Yay from the Airport for a couple of days and they came up a day early and Natalie got to have lunch with Ian before going to her Mom-Mom's for Labor Day weekend.  Here are some cute pictures that I took of the beautiful kiddos together.  So, these are for you MomMom and DadDad, your two grandchildren smiling sweetly for you.
