Grandsons Swimmeet - First One of the Year

I have not seen any grandchildren in a very long time.  June in Provo and and May for Jen's family.  It seems like forever.  We are off to a swimmeet near Lewisville and looking forward to it.  These boys are soooo big but I have missed them incredibly.

Let's get this meet underway.  Jen, Jared, and Josh arrive and soon we are underway.  They are running the meet differently this year so it will go super fast and I'm thrilled.  These bleachers are just not friendly to old bottoms.

Autumn at the Arboretum 2018- Neverland

There's a break in the rain and we are racing for the Arboretum to take advantage.  It's opening weekend of Autumn at the Arboretum and with over 90,000 pumpkins, squash, and gourds, it's definitely picture worthy.

We arrive  during member morning so can't take pictures right away but by the time we get to Neverland, it's after 9 and the cameras come out.  These are the ones that are for sale.  WOW.

One Heck of a Lot of Water

Sooooo-- records are being broke all around us.  We've received word that the highway is open again and perhaps we can weave our way to the dam and see how much water there is.  Well, this left turn is out.

Oak Cliff Brewing Grand Opening and Bankhouse Brewing

After our fun at the zoo, it's just a super quick train ride to the opening of the new Oak Cliff Brewing.  In fact, it is the very next stop.


Fun At the Zoo - Gorilla's and Hippos Again

Wanting to walk this morning AND hoping for some views of our sweet baby gorilla, Mister and I are off to the zoo.  As we enter, there are two new displays out front.  That's as close to a rhino as we can get here.  Someday, I hope they return.

Saturday Fun at 3 Nations Brewing

We have a bit of free time today and are off to check out a local brewery that we have not been to since it opened oh - - - three years ago.  Ugh -- we really need to get in the game a bit better.

At any rate, today's adventure is in Farmer's Branch at 3 Nations Brewing.

The tasting room is right smack dab in the middle of the brewery.  One is surrounded by pallets of empty cans piled to the ceiling everywhere you look and the flags of three nations are flying.  Do you know the three flags?
