Update

We got to go to Splash Amarillo last week. It was the day before my friend, Meagan left to go back home so the boys took off half the day and we had a lot of fun for a few hours. This place is like a mini version of 7 Peaks. Our favorite was the 'U' shaped slide that we called the taco. This is also the slide (at 7 peaks) where my brother, Cam, said the famous line, "if we die, oh well." Then we went to bahama bucks afterwards. It was such a fun day. 

Just to show you a little bit of what Amarillo is like everyday... Luckily there is no humidity so it doesn't feel too much hotter than that. 

The wives and I went to the Amarillo Zoo on Saturday. There are 5 of us wives and one of them has twin little girls so it was fun to see their reactions to all the animals. The snakes definitely freaked me out, as always, but the Nemo looking one was pretty cool. This zoo was only 3 dollars, so we weren't expecting much. It was more like a zoo/farm. Along with the lions, tigers, and bears (we didn't see the bear) there was also horses, sheep and a bison. We went to lunch afterwards. 

We finally made it to the last Harry Potter movie and got to see it in 3D. It was such a great movie and I am so sad that they are completely over now! 

This has been my new hobby as of lately....

Amarillo by Morning

For those of you who don't know, we moved to Amarillo last Sunday. The team that was here before left and there was still a lot of great area. Brad's manager thought they would do well, and they have. However, the area is not as fun as Houston and our apartments are not as new. Since there was another team here before us, we took over their apartments and they did not get cleaned. They were pretty nasty so we spent all of last Sunday cleaning it. 

These might possibly be my new favorite things!
Love Bahama Bucks!!

I need to give a shout out to Brad. He got his best week ever last week. His boss gave him an incentive and told him if he could get 12 in one week, (he's never gotten more than 9) he would give him a mountain bike of his choice. He did it!! I'm so proud of him. He has also never gotten more than 3 in a day and he got 4 on Saturday. He is one amazing man and I love him. 

Sunday we had the coolest thunderstorm ever. Have you ever tried to take out a picture of lightning? It's not as easy as it looks, but it is easier when there is lightning about every 5 seconds. We got some pretty sweet pictures before it started pouring. 

4TH OF JULY

Since today was like a Saturday for the boys, I had some extra time to make a few desserts. My friend, Meagan, and I went to watch a lazar/water show at a nearby park. Since it is so dry here, and there have been too many fires, they were not allowed to do fireworks. I was really bummed, because what's the fourth of july without fireworks?! But I guess I can count the lightning the night before as our fireworks show. We went a few hours early and sat on our blanket and talked. It was fun to catch up with her, since she has been in Logan for a few weeks. The boys were able to get off early and made it in time for the show. However, it was a major let down. No water, just lazars flashing to music. Needless to say, we only stayed for about 5 minutes. We came home and had pancakes with strawberries and blueberries. 

Picture a little blurry :(
