Trip to Texas (10/18 - 10/27)

Once again, these pictures are out of order, but that is better than nothing :)
-
After our stop in Oklahoma, we went to Palestine to stay at my parents house.  During our stay, we went to the Tyler zoo.  Meredith, Anna Grace, Abigail, and David met us there.

Aiden and Nonni
 Dillan with Nonni
 The boys had a blast...they loved getting to see all of the animals and being with their cousins.
 I love this picture....sheer joy!!!!
 Aiden trying to get a closer look :) 
 The petting area of the zoo

 An attempt at a cousin picture...Dillan would only participate with me holding him :)
 A rare picture of me with my boys (minus Walt) :)

 My dad has some land and we cooked hot dogs out there, picked up sticks, rode on the "mule", drove the tractor, etc.


 Palestine has a great park.  So one day we went there and played.


 This picture makes me want to hyperventilate.  My mom helped Jackson up to the top...would not have been my choice :) but it makes me realize...I am going to have to let go a little bit...he is not going to be my baby forever!

 We went and visited Granny while we were there.  There is a putting green there that the boys played on while we were there.

 David and Aiden getting acquainted :)
 After our stop in Palestine, we went to Arlington to see Walt's family.  I also was able to help host a baby shower for my best friend, Jennifer, who was expecting a precious baby girl (Avery Quinn).  Since I was coming from out of town, Jennifer's sister, Ashley, planned the shower and did an amazing job.  Everything turned out so cute!!!!


 Walt joined us in Arlington on Friday (10/25) and we flew out on Sunday (10/27).  It was a quick trip, but we had some water table fun and even had a fire in the fire pit.  Since I spent the night in Dallas with Jennifer, I was not in Arlington very long and so unfortunately there are not many pictures to document our time in Arlington.  But the boys had fun!!!!


We had a great visit, but were glad to get home....it was a long time to be away!!!
