TTV

TTV Volunteer Party. And these super cool photo frames made from tire tracks on sale at the store for only $7. I did buy one. 

Party Barge

This Saturday was spent on Lake Travis.

And at the Union for glow in the dark bowling.

6th Street

Good News. Bad News. The good news is that our house is finally getting treated for bed bugs. Bad news is that this Friday we had to be out of our house for over 12 hours. What do you even do when you are asked to leave your home for a long period of time? Well I'll tell you what we did. 

First we headed over to Foodheads because let's be honest we didn't have any where else to go. Sammie and I had never been to Foodheads and knew Theresa loved it. The place was so chill and their breakfast tacos tasted great. 

After breakfast we decided the best way to kill time is to see a movie. Theresa and I picked up Rey on our way to Monsters University. The movie was so cute but I also felt like a creeper for seeing a children's movie in the middle of the day. I had to be at TTV at 4:30 so I grabbed some fro-yo and hit up the Triangle pool before making my way to South Congress. Work went well and I managed to snap the sky on my way back to Central Market. I met Theresa and Kyler at Central Market for dinner. They had a band, lights and dancing. It was a pretty sweet atmosphere for a Friday night.

Then the rest of the events of the night occurred. By the rest of the events I mean. 6TH STREET. I am not quite sure how we ended up there but I was secretly excited about it. Even though 6th street is dirty and gross things happen, I still wanted to experience it at least once this summer. I put it on my summer of FUN list for that purpose. Naturally the night started at Rainey street, the cool, classy 6th. Mark and nine girls were at Bungalow for about an hour before deciding to head over to dirty 6th. We wanted to dance, which was the deciding factor. 

I had a blast. The drinks were cheaper and the dancing was dirtier. At Shakespeare's they were selling pitchers of Long Island Iced Teas for $5. So much cheaper than the drinks at Rainey. We all bought one. After that pitcher I was definitely feeling buzzed. 

Glad I crossed something off my summer of FUN list. It has been too long.

El Arroyo

Seriously El Arroyo's $1 margaritas will be the death of me. They are only a DOLLAR and they are so GOOD and worst of all so STRONG.

Sean, Theresa, Sydni and I all met there for dinner. I had volunteer orientation for TTV, which I dragged Sydni to, before meeting up with Theresa and Sean at El Arroyo. The food was great and the company was better. Sammie, Jeanan and some of their friends joined us after dinner for another round. I just love El Arroyo. I wouldn't hate if I was there every Thursday night. Actually I am thinking that should probably happen.

Lately Theresa and I have been into pool hoping. Really I am just into the sun, but it is nice to have a body of water to jump into when you get too hot. So we are into finding new pools to sneak into. This afternoon we managed to sneak into Theresa's cousins apartment pool. Sammie joined us. The pool was nice and had a volleyball net but got major deductions for its lack of a hot tub. Pretty much Theresa and I have become pool connoisseurs. We are thinking of making T-shirts.

If I had to describe a summer day this is what it would be. Pools, tanning and one dollar margaritas. 

Working and Campaigners

Welcome to my Wednesday.

I spent most of the day with Cameron and Cade, two children I nanny for. From noon to six the three of us had summer fun. First we went to the toy store. Cade bought some marbles and Cameron bought a little toy horse. We came back to their house and ate lunch before watching some Scooby-Doo. 

The kids seemed to be getting restless just hanging around the house so I remembered waffle cone Wednesday. Every Wednesday at TCBY you can get a waffle cone for $1. Many of my friends carve out precious time of their Wednesdays to enjoy a waffle cone. I took them there and watched as they got ice cream all over their faces. I had a raspberry and white chocolate mix. SO GOOD. 

Then I took the kids to Pease Park. I hadn't planned on the splash pad so naturally Cade ran right in. He got his clothes completely soaked. Cameron and I were not willing to get our clothes wet so we watched as Cade played in the water. I took them back to their house after that and left shortly after.

Tonight was the our first night of summer campaigners. I picked up some girls and met Alaina and all the other leaders at Covenant Presbyterian Church. We stayed for about two hours. The girls seemed to have fun being around all their friends from camp. I am not sure how much they actually got out of the talk though. Mostly I just think the leaders are still burnt out from camp. Hopefully we will regain our passion in the weeks to come.
