| Family Fun at Corpus
Since my last post, we had a family trip to Corpus, a blue moon, lots of Millie time, summer Bible study and a fun last HURRAH before I go back to work Wednesday! Yes, Wednesday!

Corpus
I loved being at the beach, listening to the waves, and teaching Jenna and Ben how to "jump" the waves like my sisters and I did when we were younger. Lots of sandcastles were built, holes were dug and a fun time was had on the beach! In the house, we took turns on meals. I have to say I got off pretty easy. I didn't cook breakfast once and I only had to make dinner once, which Andrew graciously ended up doing on the grill. It was a real blessing to be treated so well. Thanks guys!
My favorite part of the trip was watching the sea turtle release at the National Seashore. It was beautiful and so special to be a part of it. I am not a morning person, but I was so excited to be there at 6:45 a.m. I'll never forget whispering in Ben's ear - "It's time to get up for the turtles" and then seeing his blond curls POP UP in bed. "Ok, let's go!" Jenna was more like me, she stayed in her pjs and was unimpressed until the main event. I think we all enjoyed it and it was a special event to share as a family.
Another fun adventure was family pictures. Amber is gifted in photography and she brought her tripod and told us how to color coordinate beforehand and boy did the pictures turn out great?! Keeping Jenna, Ben and Uncle Andrew involved was a challenge, but we did and it turned out to be a blast!
Blue Moon, Millie, and Bible study
Lance was kind enough to keep Millie and Jett while we were at the beach, but Millie was glad to be home and I was glad to have her back! We've been on walks to explore a new park, sat outside to watch the blue moon and had lots of snuggle time. Too bad she won't be able to go to work with me. :-( Another blessing this summer has been Bible study. A friend invited me and I honestly was out of the loop. It has been such a blessing to have sisters pray for me and over me as I battle through my health issues and emotions. I am so grateful for them and each Wednesday night we meet.
HURRAH
Today, I met Scarlett and the kids for one last summer HURRAH! We bowled, played skee ball and LASER TAG! It was great fun and lots of special prices. With our tickets, we all went home with a bracelet! Jenna got a bouncy ball and Ben got a dinosaur. It was lots of fun. To top off the day we enjoyed a yummy lunch at Rudy's bbq and then went our separate ways. I'm so thankful that we got to have one last day of fun and that I convinced Scarlett to play laser tag and then she DOMINATED! ;-)
Love,
Brandee
