What a great weekend

I heart 3 day weekends. Seriously. And boy, did we have a fab one this last weekend! HH was off Friday, so we pottered around the house for a bit that morning, met Chris and Heidi for a 'workout' (Velocity was actually closed for the holiday) and goofed around the rest of the day! I did say 'workout' because it was filled with breaks for watching Fredi and Cooper do freakishly strong things (well, Coop at least, Fredi can hang from the bar for a good long time!), getting slobbered on by Becks (the dog!), and laughter between all of us.

Saturday was meant for diving and fireworks - yay! Two of my favorite activites in one day! Wahoo! Ok, so the diving wasn't fantastic - lots of brown and green! We went out to Clear Springs, in eastish Texas for the morning to dive and hang out.

Let the journey begin....

Random factoid... My college roomie, Kat, is from Terrell - which is near Clear Springs!

Ok, back to our dive adventures... So, not so great diving, but any time you get to get wet and blow bubbles is pretty awesome. We got to try out our new gear, which was mucho fun! Can't wait for some blue water bubbles though! (FYI... approximately 226 days until we leave for Palau... nope, I'm not counting or excited at all)

HH, you can't descend on land, silly!

Ugh, I can't believe I'm posting this one, but I'm so super stoked about finally getting to use my new bonnet! It was a birthday present from Gizmo... my very own SMU clown fish! Lovelovelove it - keeps the post-dive Medusa hair at bay!

Our lovely morning of diving ended with a picnic lunch - which was delish... as you can see...

Really?! A picture now?!?!?

Then it was off to see fireworks at my smom's office - they blocked the parking lot off for tenants only! We had prime seats and no crowds - talk about awesome! So planning on that one next year!

Sunday was fairly quiet - HH did a few projects 'round here... which would have been quick, but, like all things in our house, required some "customization" that ended up taking a bit longer!

Now it's back to the usual stuff I guess... Happy late 4th of July!
