We made homemade ice cream for the July 4th holiday and Aaron and Laura introduced us to Daisy the dog. We had the wrong size of ice so the ice cream took much too long to freeze that evening. Aaron saved the day by buying Sonic crushed ice. A few days later, Jon bought an ice cream freezer at Sams that does not use ice -- we tried it out and it worked great!!!

On June 7, Sharon and I celebrated our 34 year wedding anniversary. Kara and Kayla left the next day to take their summer vacation in Chicago. On June 8, Sharon, Tim and I went to the 3D movie "Up" -- very enjoyable, then Tim had chocolate banana milkshake at Marble Slab. Father's Day was June 21 and it was theme'd "Orange you glad to be the Dad!" -- lots of healthy cooking gifts. Philip made specialty burgers on the newly repaired grille - yummy!!!

The boyz helped with the AV set up at the DCAC Fitness event at the JW Marriott. Afterward we dined at (Houston Rocket) Yao Ming's Chinese Restaurant. We also went there the next day (after load-out) with PCA but had no camera then for pics ;0(.... BUT we did get to visit the 'Yao Room'. Our feet dangled from the extra large chairs that Yao and his NBA colleagues sit in while dining in a private room at his restaurant - great food - General Szo chicken, orange peel beef, Mongolian combo, chicken and asparagus with Kiwi sauce, lettuce wraps, and fabulous mango pudding - yum!!!
