Sizzling in the South!!!

This last weekend was filled with calming relaxation, which is not too typical if you throw all of Sharee's family into one spot...after all, there is like 100 of them! But, Damon, one of Sharee's younger brothers got married to such an adorable girl named Tara in Texas! We had the best hospitality...truly a taste of Southern food, friends, and fun!

Because it was in Texas, only Sharee's immediate siblings flew down, it was the first and only time all of their family has slept in one roof! They spent night after night staying up until the wee hours in the morning laughing and talking. It was great to see Sharee and everyone in her family mingle without so many distractions...aka 40 grandkids! Brad was the only spouse who went, but he was never an outsider. He enjoyed shuffle board, 4-wheeling, and being the entertainer as the designating videographer. The commentary is hillarious and the interviews are entaining and uncomfortable. If anyone knows Brad...they will know he can get any info out of anyone! He is a conversational wizard!!

Everyone but Brad and Sharee left on Sunday. We got to stay and enjoy the sunny weather, shopping, and food! We spent 1 day shopping at the San Marcos outlets. It is the ranked as the 3rd best shopping in the WORLD! Imagine miles and miles of stores, in every brand, at low prices. It was so much fun chasing around Sharee and helping her pick out or try on clothes.

The next day we spent seeing sights such as the Alamo, the Riverwalk, some missions, and elaborate southern homes. We also got to go to a Wakeboard park called the Texas Ski Ranch. It is wakeboarding while being pulled by a cable system around in circles and you can jump on and off ramps, kickers, a-frames, etc. It was AWESOME!

We wish we could show you pictures of all these adventures...but our camera got stolen =(! I hope you all have had a great week! ....Thanks so much to our family, it was so much fun! We love you!!!
