Summer Days are drifting away! Bu, OH! Those summer nights... Can a "weekend" start on a Thursday night? 'Cuz this one kind of did. And it was worth it.
Lara:
Around lunch time on Thursday, it was decided that we would go to Twilight Swim (6:30-8:30pm) at the "Water Park" in Cushing, OK. We left Stillwater after I got home from work, and got there a few minutes before the gates opened. Spent the whole 2 hours splashing around! After a (much too long) trip to Walmart for 2 of the boys in attendance, we attempted dinner in Cushing. At 9:30pm. On a Thursday night. In the middle of summer. We finally got to a pizza place. We finally got food. Well, the pizza Lara and I were sharing ended up 2/3 on the floor, and we had to wait for ANOTHER one, but we did get to eat. We got back home at 10:15pm. But then we all stayed up to watch the DVR'd episode of Boy Band that showed earlier in the evening...
Friday night was much more calm. We all were still recovering from Thursday night! So, some TV time, and a much more respectable bedtime. Saturday morning we got up early for "Little" Brother Jake's basketball team to play in a tournament in Oklahoma City. Lara always has a choice as to whether to go or not, and she usually chooses to go. She's our "Sporty Spice" and her involvement with the Athletic Training program with the school is a big part of her life. So, being Jake's "Super Fan" is right up her alley. Long day with 4 games, but we got to try a hamburger joint we had been told about that we had never been to before, so that was a fun time, too.
Got home late afternoon, and found the movie "Grease" on the Freeform channel! What a great way to spend a couple of hours! (And, it may or may not have influenced this post...). Since the fireworks here in Stillwater got cancelled for the 4th... AND for the 5th, the 8th was the reschedule date. Kinda of fun for a Saturday night, I suppose! None of us are big on crowds, and Finn FREAKS at loud noises, we drove to a parking garage on the Oklahoma State University campus where the top level overlooked Boomer Lake and Park nicely, tuned our radio to 93.7 to hear the music that went along with the show, and enjoyed the fireworks! It was WONDERFUL! accompanied by a great looking moon, an almost cool evening (I was in a light weight sweater), and great company.
Sunday we got to sleep in a little bit... Jake was back to basketball in OKC by late morning, accompanied by his family again! Lara got to watch Jake and his Bandit team battle through losing yesterday to make it to the Championship game, AND THEN WIN IT! These boys haven't played much or practiced ANY since we all just wrapped up baseball, so it was a thrilling day.
A quick dinner on the road so we would make it back to Stillwater to take in Week 1 of AT THE MOVIES at the Life.Church Stillwater campus. Our lobby is all decked out in a STAR WARS-esque theme, and the message Pastor Craig Groeschel pulled out of the 2016 movie Hacksaw Ridge was INCREDIBLE. What a great way to end the weekend!

I didn't see Emma this weekend. Sometimes, plans change.
