Fabulous 4th of July Weekend!

Long post of AWESOMENESS! Be prepared to be jealous!

As MANY of you posted to facebook, "the Thursday after a Wednesday holiday feels like the second Monday of the week," except for us teachers who are enjoying our couple months of what feels like straight Saturdays…

On the actual 4th of July, I was not feeling well at all. Sparing details, after eating lunch I changed back into my pjs and did not leave my bed the entire day…bummer of a 4th, but we definitely made up for it the rest of the weekend!

We had arranged for a boat on Lake Travis for Thursday and even though I still was not feeling great, I grabbed a sprite and went for it anyways. Glad that I did! Jason, Carter and I had a blast!

Carter was born to ride on/jump off boats

Jason's new hat…go ahead and laugh, I do!

After the lake, we showered and met up with some friends at Doc's on South Congress. I had some awesome enchiladas and an even more awesome margarita! We have really been impressed with Doc's. They have great food, a cool atmosphere and a decent drink selection.

From there, we were made our way to "the mayor's house," which is an 18th floor apartment with great views of downtown, for some games.

For some reason, there was a sword on the balcony of the apartment…which almost led to Clay's demise

After Clay and I beat Zack and Jason twice, we flipped a coin, several times, to see if we should move on to 6th street.

Even though the coin said tails 49/50 times which was for no 6th…we found our way out to the Blind Pig for $5 pitchers.

Our weekend didn't stop there! The next day we picked up Jason's little brother headed out to Town Lake for some paddle boarding. I was a little apprehensive about the whole idea of paddle boarding, but we all LOVED it! We even saw people paddling with their pups on the board with them…we will give this a whirl next time! Thanks to Clay and "the mayor" our paddle board adventure was free of charge--just the way we like it! I just wish that we had some pictures to share! 

That night we went and saw the new Spiderman movie which was REALLY GOOD!

Saturday we headed north to Liberty Hill for the 2nd Annual Aaron Family 4th of July Fajita and Rita Extravaganza by the pool, which was a huge success! We were so happy that the Suarez siblings (Michelle, Danielle and Carlos), Josh's awesome girlfriend, Ashley, as well as Zack and Maddie were able to join!
