Summer 2013: July 4th Weekend

Our July 4th weekend was full of family time - and food!

On the 4th, Will got his first experience seeing a movie in a theater when we saw Monsters University at Alamo Drafthouse.  We all enjoyed the movie, but I think the highlight for the kids might have been the pretzels we ordered.

That evening we tried a new barbecue place down at The Pearl - The Granary 'Cue & Brew.  Claire loved the sausage - Will just ate the house made buttermilk bread.

Friday we played outside, and then Robert and I had a date night - dinner at The Luxury, another newish restaurant.  It's an interesting concept - two shipping containers set up for the restaurant and the bar, with outdoor seating by the river.

Playing with the new slip and slide - they didn't exactly grasp the concept.

My mom's birthday is on the 6th, so we took my parents to The Dodging Duck in Boerne (one of our favorite places) for lunch.  The tables are covered with butcher table, and they give the kids crayons to decorate the table.  We were all impressed with Robert's rendering of Claire's Peter Pan and Wendy figurines!

The final event of our weekend was our neighbors' birthday party.  Jump house, balloon artist, and the highlight - a giant water slide.  Claire was a little nervous at first, but after one time down the slide, that was all she wanted to do.  It was great!
