We had made plans with a friend of mine to go to her house for a day filled with sunshine and swimming.
It also happened to be 'tax free weekend', so the girls and I headed out to the Terrell outlet mall first thing in the morning to get some of their school uniforms. Each August, the state of Texas offers a couple of days where you can purchase certain back to school items without having to pay tax. Now, this basically means that you will save $8 for every $100 you spend. I'm not one for crowds and fighting for sizes to save $8, but we planned it out just right and were able to avoid the crowds and get a good majority of Abigail's clothes. Ally was only able to find a few things in her size, and liking, so we cut our losses and headed to the pool.
I stopped and picked up some pizzas on the way and we sat and had lunch before going outside to swim. My friend has a few horses and Melinda was super excited to go down to the barn and see her horses. I stayed at the pool with the kids and floated around while they swam, sprayed each other, and jumped off the diving board.
They even went down to the pond to do a little fishing.
We enjoyed swimming with our friends until mid afternoon. We dried off and loaded into the van to head home. Ally had a volleyball game that evening, so we all got cleaned up and rested until it was time to go to the game.
Ally played very well and we were all so excited to see her in action. We stopped to get ice cream afterwards and then went home to get ready for another long day on Saturday.
