Texas Tour Week 1

Mason gets a two week fall break, so we decided to load up and make the drive down to Texas.  We left on Monday morning do drive to Abilene to spend the night for a night.  The kids did so much better than I was expecting.  We only had to stop three times and were in the car from 8am until midnight.  We did make a pit stop in Lubbock for a couple of hours to have dinner with Aunt B and Jordan at Chickfila.  It was a good break and we were happy to get to see them!

Let's GO!

They loved playing hide and seek in the play area with Aunt B and Uncle Jordan

My parents were out of town, so we got to their house and went straight to bed.  We woke up, had breakfast, and then hit the road for a two hour drive to Graham to see Matthew's family.  We got to see Papa, Nannie and Papa Joe, Aunt Susie, and Uncle Greg and Rena.

Papa got to meet Charlotte for the first time

Charlotte is half dressed in all of these pictures because she only has long sleeves and pants that fit her (since that is all we need in CO)  It was still hot in TX so we just stripped her down for two weeks.  :)

After a few hours in Graham, we drove three more hours to Ennis.  We were so glad that we would be staying in Ennis for a few days and not having to be in the car very much.  We spent Tuesday-Sunday seeing Granna, Pops, The Hernandez family, and Aunt CC and Uncle Eric.  Matthew worked the rest of the week in Fort Worth and we spent our days with Sophia and Cole.  We had the best time.

Mason and Sophia are two peas in a pod.  They love each other so much!

So happy Granna got home from work!

Joel babysat the big kids for me while Lezlee and I went to shop for a little bit.  He won babysitter of the year for this great idea.

Pops!

Aunt CC came down after work one night to see the kids

On Friday, we met Aunt CC and Uncle Eric at the Perot Museum.  All Mason wanted to do was race the cheetah!

This is about one minute after leaving the museum.  They had a busy and tiring week!

The worst part of our trip was that we didn't get to see The Lewis' and Buteaus.  We were so looking forward to getting all of our kids together and having a fun weekend in Dallas, but it just didn't work out this time.  We need to start planning something else!
