So Lubbock has a little amusement park that is open during the summer, it’s called Joyland.

Our church reserved the park this last week and we got to go.

I was not excited about it because it was so hot outside, but mom convinced me and we went anyway.

We all ate hotdogs on picnic tables before we went in, playing hide and seek with the blistering sun.

H, you had an absolute blast.

You and I even rode the Sky Ride together.

H, you have gone from a kid that was crying about getting on a merry-go-round at the age of 3, to a 4-year-old insisting on doing the Wild River Log Flume 5 times in one evening!

You were a beast!

K, unfortunately, you were too small for most of the rides.

But I think you would have done every single ride with H if we had let you!

K, you loved the merry-go-round when we all did it as a family.

You girls are becoming so big and strong and brave and wise.

I love you.
