All it has seemed to do around here lately is RAIN! Everything is so soggy and swampy. The mosquitoes are multiplying like crazy and mud is on everything! We really wanted to try and go to the State Fair of Texas, but of course the day we thought was going to be free and clear of rain, ended up soggy and wet like the rest of them.

Sam had just found our that he had to leave to go out of town the next morning, so we really wanted to something fun together as a family before Brianna's birthday on Friday, since he was going to be gone. We decided to go to Amazing Jakes. We had not been there since it opened about a year ago. What better fun than an indoor amusement park, out of the rain, and on a 1/2 price Tuesday. SCORE! Even better, we had the whole place pretty much to ourselves!

We ate dinner, brought Brianna a little birthday cake to celebrate with, and played until the place closed. It was great!

Natalie tried rock climbing for the first time, and what could be funnier than her charging to the top, speeding past Brie & Nate's times, only to find out that once she was there, she could not get back down. She let go of the wall to descend but just hung in mid-air. It was hillarious. The worker had to fasten into belts, scale the wall, and hold her to bring her down.  Little Miss Daredevil was not bothered a bit though.
