Labor Day Weekend Visit From the Massaros

Dana and the grandmothers visit

Saturday morning, Dana came out for a visit. We spent the whole afternoon and evening out on the boat. The girls toobed all over the lake, we took the Horseshoe Bay "mansion" tour, we ate at a new hamburger stand on the lake, and Dana slalomed for the first time in at least 15 years! Naturally, the camera was home on the kitchen table the entire time! She and Rich went skiing again early Sunday morning while the girls were still asleep. I snapped a quick photo of Dana right before she left Sunday, just as we left for church:


After church, Super-Wonder Girls:


Sunday afternoon, the grandmothers came over for lunch and a visit.
The girls posing with Granny Mary:

And with Grandma Cella:

Shaylee's mom ended up getting sick, so she stayed with us from Friday morning to Sunday evening! One last pose with the Supergirls before we took her home:

Swimming at Granny Mary's!

On Sunday, we went over to Granny Mary's for lunch and a swim.

Summer took a couple of photos of Granny Mary

Very interesting....

SALT LICK BBQ!!



All my out-of-state cousins were in Texas this past week, and we met up with them out at the Salt Lick for some YUMMY BBQ and catching up. Lots of cuties running around. And lots of overstuffed adults, too! (Not so much with the running, though!)



This is Evan, Lynette and Jeff's son:
