Full and Fun

At about 8:00 this morning all the boys left our house for the football field. Ruth and I left about 8:45, so we would have time to stop at Starbucks (for a Java Chip Frappuccino for Ruth and a Pumpkin Spice Latte for myself), before heading to the gym for her volleyball game. After the completion of her three sets, we connected with the boys and many of our extended family at the football field, to watch the fourth quarter of Weston's game. It was blazing hot, but Weston was pumped because he got to play on the offensive AND defensive lines AND be the ball carrier on one play! Max was thrilled to have been one of his team captains. When the family was gathered back at the house, soaking in the glorious air conditioning, we enjoyed a fabulous lunch of pulled pork tacos. Then, the men settled in to watch some football (with a nap or two thrown in for good measure), while the kids played outside and the ladies went shopping. Late in the afternoon, the party broke up, as everyone headed home. The baby sitter arrived at 6:00 and Date Night commenced. Jeff and I had dinner at the wonderful Buenos Aires Cafe in Bee Cave. We sat on the patio, as the chilly wind blew around us, and marveled at the major change in the weather during the course of just a few hours. Just as our appetizers arrived, the umbrella from the next table inverted, took to the air, and then lodged itself between our own umbrella and the side of the building. That was enough to send us to an inside table to enjoy the rest of our meal. And, enjoy we did! Every bite we put into our mouths was absolutely fantastic! After dinner, we walked down to the movie theater to see "Captain Phillips." Wow! What a movie! You simply must see it. It was a very full day, but oh so much fun!
