The Lewis Family Comes to Texas




































Our Sweet friends The Lewis family came to visit us.. We go wayyyyyyy back with them. Phillip and Joey met when they were in 1st grade and started playing baseball together when they were little bitty.. We automatically became friends with Troy and Sue!! They also have a daughter Courtney who is 20 and of course there were times when Phillip would wonder if she was coming to the game?lol:)She is a real cutie!!Anyway we have been bleacher buddies for years up until we moved.. We actually said Goodbye at the ballpark:) what a ending!!Anyway they came up on July 24th and they were here for the weekend and we had the best with them.. Of course we had to take them to our favorite mexican restaurant, when we lived in St Louis we would always go eat mexican together and drink margaritas:)so we had to introduce them to TEXAS mexican food:) and then on Saturday we just hung out here in the pool allllll day long which was nice and relaxing and then we went to Incredible Pizza so they kids could play and it ended up the hubbys had a good time too.. They have go karts and so they pretended to be Nascar drivers and Troy won he even got a First Place ribbon:)after our incredible time at Incredible Pizza we came home and played Rock Band, we had a blast the only one who did not serenade us was Miss Sue, I think if I would have put the microphone down long enough and filled her wine glass up she might have:) I just could not put the mic down, I was a ROCKSTAR and I was loving it!! Then on Sunday we all went to breakfast at Shipley Doughnut shop yummmmm:) I love doughnuts especially Shipleys and then off to Galveston we went. What a fun time that was we all rode the ferry across the bay and it was so neat, the pelicans and seagulls were everywhere and even the dolphins were swimming beside the ferry it was just so cool, it made me want to go on a cruise( which I am working on)so from the ferry we went over to Moody gardens and saw the turtle pond lol which turned out to be fountains not turtles.... and then we went to Kemah boardwalk where we had a blast, we had lunch at Joes Crabshack and then walked around and looked at everything, Kemah is a neat place it has shops and restaurants and is a amusement park.. I swore I would not ride the rides but Peyton wanted to so I did and it was fun!!It is definitely a place that we will go back to! We got home and the guys played basketball while Sue and I stood and laughed and took pics.. We had so much fun with them. They are such a precious family and we are so Thankful that God let our paths cross! We will be forever friends! I have to say after we said goodbye it took me a few days I was so sad and missed them a ton.. They are just fun fun people who we just love to be with. Our boys love hanging with Joey and now they are all at a age where they do their own thing and we can just sit and vist..ohhhh so nice.. Never thought we would get to this place in our lives.:) Troy and Sue remember me chasing a cotton top baby in diapers trying to get on a baseball field in the middle of the game:)lol and me running full speed trying to catch him and then the time where he was acting bad so I snatched him up and he hung on to the steel metal bleachers and almost drug the fans with us..lol Oh my goodness and they still love us!! what awesome friends they are! We love you Lewis Family and can't wait to see you all again soon! Lets plan out carribean getaway!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
