We had a great time with family and some much-needed relaxation. My brother-in-law miscalculated and I didn't double check him. My mother-in-law was only 89 -- still quite an accomplishment!
On the 4th, we drove up to Oklahoma and shared a nice dinner and some fireworks at Mom's with family -- including some much-needed catch-up time with my sister-in-law and two of her sons, who were only there for the day.
We celebrated Mom's birthday on the 5th. We got her some solar lights for her "boardwalk" that spans some previous steps down and back up. She loves them!
The next day was a workday -- tree-trimming, grass-raking, and re-mounting her window AC unit.
Mom convinced us to stay an extra day, which allowed us to go to the Wichita Mountains to picnic and tromp around. 
The boys and I did a nice hike requiring a short bit of mild rock-climbing (yes, the hand- and foothold type!).My hubby and brother-in-law did a bit of climbing themselves to capture video clips to use for worship slides, as well as some nice stills.
The extra day also enabled us to go to church with Mom, which she also enjoys us doing. After a safe drive home, we're back to rainy Texas. And tomorrow, the work routine resumes. It was nice to have a break!
