Fourth of July

We had a great time back in H-town over the Fourth weekend, once the weekend got started. I can’t imagine what the weather in New York is doing to the “on-time” status for the airlines – our flight got pushed back two hours, so we would up getting in around 12:30 am instead of 11:30 pm. Our plane’s tardiness wasn’t that big of a deal as “night-owl” Dad came and picked us up, or let me say the man who thinks he is a night owl because he wakes up at 2 am and finds himself in the living room. Same man is barely coherent and near-sleep the entire ride home - why did my parents not get my younger sister to pick us up?

The next morning, we played golf, and the next and the next (OK - so I begged out on Saturday, but I did play two of the three). The hubs managed to play all three days, even though the heat index was around 105 each day. Spending four hours in the sun is not so bad, as long as you wear sunscreen and don't mind the enormous headache you have for the rest of the day. :)

We did manage to get our tex-mex in, though we had to do a bit of finagling to convince my mom to change the meal plan (read as my sister, ReeRee, calling and telling her that M and I really wanted tex-mex, so why didn't she save the steaks until after we left). Yumm - and we managed to have crawfish too, because D and ReeRee threw a Fourth of July bbq/crawfish boil. The party was great, all the family that was in town came over to ReeRee's house, so we even got to see my cousin's new baby.
