Gigi and Peeps came to see us in Lake Jackson this week! They got here Saturday after we got back from the creek. Sunday they were able to be at church to hear Randy preach. He is preaching a lot these days! 3 out of 4 Sundays. And his wife thinks he's doing a great job. :)
Monday Randy and Peeps got up really early and went fishing and Gigi, Kendall and I went to the rec center to go to Zumba! We had a lot of fun, and I think Randy and his dad did too, but they didn't really catch anything.
That afternoon Kendall walked out on our back porch and a huge swarm of fire ants came up from under the boards and attacked her sweet little foot! She got like 25-30 bites just on one foot. It was pretty awful. It has rained some here this weekend (finally!) so that must be the reason for the ants. Her foot swelled up pretty bad and her little toes looked like they were going to pop off! Mike and Anita went and got some meat tenderizer, some Epsom salt, and a bandage, and we soaked her foot and then put the paste of meat tenderizer on it and wrapped it up. It looked so sad! She was even limping around the house, it must have hurt so bad. We kept her on Benadryl though (and Neosporin, Pops!) and it is really looking much better.
We were just sticking her foot in the sink, but then she decided it would be fun to get all the way in!
Tuesday Randy had to go back to work, so the four of us went to the Seacenter and then out to the beach.
Look at that huge shark!
Tuesday night we went and got sno-cones after dinner and then went to play some watermelon football. This has been a regular activity for us this summer...well, for Randy really. I sit and watch and Kendall plays in the hot tub. They grease up the watermelon with shortening and then try to get it from one end of the pool to the other. It wears Randy out, but he loves it! I snapped a few pictures while they were playing. It gets pretty rough! Everyone usually has a few bruises and lots of sore muscles!
We had a fun week, Gigi and Peeps! Kendall is looking forward to seeing you next week...if Mom will be able to let her go!

I need to know more about Watermelon football. Sounds like my kind of fun!
Nacho! Poor Kendall. I hope her foot gets better soon. That bandage picture was the saddest thing ever.
I can't wait until Friday!
We had the best visit too! It was so much fun just spending time with the 3 of you! We are looking forward to next week already.
