The Bunch Head To The Ft Worth Protests And Have A Happy Father's Day

 

Our tradition of a picture next to the marque.

Full disclosure, we actually didn't mean to be at the Fort Worth Protests it just kind of happened. A has had tickets to see Moulin Rouge at Bass Hall for several weeks. Everything just worked itself out. We learned of the planned protests only a couple of days beforehand. By then everything was already in place for us to be in downtown Ft Worth. A had a ticket for her show and T and I had tickets one block over to see How to Train Your Dragon in 3D at the same time. The protest was planned to be at the park on Seventh Street and we were on 3rd. Pretty close, but hopefully there would be no overlap. However, LOLA (our nickname for Google Maps), "helped" with accidentally sending us up Seventh Street exactly halfway through the protests. Luckily for us, it really was nothing. We saw a few people with signs and passed a pick up that advertised it had stuff to make your own sign if you wanted (I can guarantee my sign would not have gone over well with the protesters). The only thing that was unusual during this downtown outing compared to all our others was the presence of bomb dogs. We passed three and multiple officers in tactical gear were patrolling the streets. The theater had extra tight security to get inside and had extra uniformed officers outside. The movie theater.....not so much. It was business as usual.😂 The media said about 1500 showed up,  unless most left halfway through the rally I dispute that number. A enjoyed her show and left with almost every cast members' signature. T and I enjoyed relaxing in a nice comfortable recliner in the air conditioning while watching our movie, which if you liked the cartoon the live action one is fantastic! We love it when A goes to Bass Hall. There is so much more to do for us down there instead of just going to the museum....though Layla's pizza cannot be beat if we have to go to Dallas!

T is such a giant!

She got almost every cast member's signature.

I thought our movie was going to be empty, but it filled up after all the previews.

D had a very relaxing Father's Day. We are busy most of the time so he just wanted to go to church and watch a movie. As we are all aware of, Axl is absolutely terrified of rain, not just thunder and lightning, but any drizzle of moisture that may fall from the sky. Since this has been a very stormy spring not only are we crazy tired from our nighttime babysitting, but someone also has to stay home with him pretty much all the time. I missed the last 3 weeks of church to babysit so T stayed home this week with A, and I went to church with D. When we got home we watched Homestead Rescue. It's our new family show that we watch whenever we are all together. We really like it and as a surprise for Father's Day A got one of the stars that is D's favorite to send D a personalized video message! It was so cool! Unfortunately, A thought Father's Day was the weekend before so she had to keep quiet about the video for a whole week! It is crazy hard to keep something that epic quiet for an entire week. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend and Happy Father's Day!

T was super excited about "pie day". We put the leftover pie from Mother's Day in the deep freeze to finish on Father's Day. T's literally been counting down the days to pie day.😂

D watching his personalized video from Matt Raney!

C is relishing lake life.

H is enjoying it as well.

The Bunch Start Birthday Week

  Yes, my Mom had my name misspelled on the cake.😂 It was still yummy so it was all good. T, A, and I all have our birthdays within a week and a half. Which means there is a crazy amount of sugar within those 10 days. We always like to make whoever's birthday it is feel special for the day. We watch what they want,do activities they like, eat what they pick, do their chores for them, etc. It not usually too expensive, but just a fun day where it's focused on them. The kids use to use their days to rule like little kings and queens, but have become a lot calmer in their "old" age since they get to do whatever they want most of the time anyways. We are a pretty close family and do a lot of things together all the time anyways, but on birthdays we still make sure we defer to the birthday boy/girl. My birthday is first and the kids do so many nice things for me all the time, but they put forth an extra effort on my birthday. This year A even woke up early to turn the cof...

The Bunch Visit Family

  We had fun playing some board games...and it wasn't even a fun jar idea! We just did it because it sounded like fun! The fun jar has been a little slow being implemented this year. T made sure to let me know! We're making up for it next week by drawing several things.  We have had a wonderfully busy week visiting family and getting things done around the house. We went over to my parents house to celebrate Father's Day and while the boys played games with Grandpa, the girls went with Grandma to show her what all the fuss about Trader Joe's is about. She enjoyed looking at all the different things and even found a few gems of her own. It was a nice day and fun to get out together for a little bit. We had a great day!🥰 We picked up Whataburger for my Dad as a treat and my mom made some tots and a side salad up to go with it.💗 We also had a nice long visit with our Aunt P. She's been under the weather and we hadn't had a visit in a couple weeks so it was nice t...

The Bunch Have A Fantastic Week!

  Pickleball is always fun! Now that the weather has been nicer, albeit super windy, we have been trying to do our weekly pickleball match. Basically, this week whoever was playing with the wind won! We still have fun playing even when it is windy. In fact, playing in the wind probably makes us have more fun. The wind gusts sometimes pick the ball up and make it do some funny things, like getting the ball and pushing it back onto your side so you lose a point or blowing it three courts over! Luckily, we are usually the only ones there so it doesn't matter if we play across 4 courts. Afterwards, we usually go get some ice cream/ frozen yogurt and just enjoy our outing.  T went camping this weekend with his troop. They worked on orienteering, which I was super happy about since T needs to work on that something fierce, but unfortunately the boys in troop aren't much better than him at orienteering and the first guy oriented them upside down on the first one so they basically was...
