The last days of summer????

I envisioned a lot more blog entries than ONE during the summer but it's been a fabulous, very fun few months and I feel we've definitely spent the time that wasn't used for blogging in a very productive way. As per usual with the blog, I'm out of order and I'm going to upload pics and stories about our family honeymoon or "familymoon" first and then get around to the wedding post shortly thereafter.

The Familymoon was soooo much fun. We went to Hyatt Lost Pines Resort about thirty minutes down the road. We swam, ate, roasted marshmallows, walked by the river, pet horses, floated in the lazy river, watched HBO, and relaxed for a few days. We had a fabulous time. Ella J absolutely loved swimming in the water. She could have stayed at the pool all day. In fact, anytime we were in the hotel room, she'd grab her float and drag it to the door and start banging on it, letting us know she was in on the fact that the hotel room was actually just a giant play pen.

The resort was great. It was all families-Texas Chic for sure. You could rent bicycles, ride horses, they had movies in the lawn and you got to make smores every night (even though kids running around with huge metal forks with flaming marshmallows attached to them is a little bit unnerving). We had an awesome time and really grew excited about the prospect of sharing a family vacation like this with our friends someday. It was the perfect familymoon for us!
