Time In Texas

My brothers and I had talked recently about wanting to meet in Oklahoma to play some golf.  However, with our kids schedules, there was no way to make it work.  Stacee had mentioned being disappointed that we hadn't gone on any summer vacations.  For the Labor day weekend, I decided that it would be good to make a trip to Fort Worth so we could do all the above.

Saturday morning we went golfing and we had a great time.  We all did well (Bret the best, Marc not as well as normal and I did better than normal) and we shot even par on a difficult course (3 man scramble).  

While the bros were golfing, the girls and the kids went to a farmer's market and swam in Bret and Andrea's pool.

We were all excited to go watch Ayden play football Saturday night.  I wanted to wear the jersey above but the family was just laughing at me.  I don't see what was so funny.  It looks good.

We had fun watching Ayden's team easily defeat their opponent.  Ayden played center and defensive end.  Below I am showing Mom how to use her new phone.

Bret is one of the coaches and he is standing next to Ayden on the sideline.  Ayden is number 11.

Below, after the game, Sarah, me, Ayden, Silas, Bret, Kallin, Marc, and Phoebe.

After the game we were able to find an open restaurant so that we all could eat dinner together, Chili's.

On Sunday, Phoebe went to get her ears pierced.  Grandma Sharon also got her ears pierced, (a second hole).

On Sunday night we had the family fantasy football draft.  It was fun talking pre-draft strategy and making comments during the draft.  We also discussed our teams after the draft.  We all thought mom had a good team and so far she is dominating.  The brothers are all 1-1.  The goal is to keep the Hendrickson name on the Nickelfritz trophy for 2020.

It was a short 3 day trip, but it was fun.  We love our Fort Worth family and wish we could see them more often.
