Texas Vacation

During the girls' school track-out, we've enjoyed 10 days in Texas, 5 in Lubbock and 5 in DFW, seeing family and friends. Wish there was more time to see EVERYONE we'd like to catch up with! Maybe we'll catch you on the next visit.

The kids enjoyed their first plane ride. (But we got put on the row with NO WINDOWS!)

They LOVED meeting their new cousin.

We surprised cousin Brenda at her volleyball game. (Ottawa vs. LCU)

Hannah got her ears pierced with the support of her Aunt Amy and Aunt Ashley. (She's not sure if she wants to smile or cry but all is well now.)

We had a BLAST at the Texas Tech vs. SMU game, tailgating and all! Get your guns up!

(Notice the developing West Texas sunset??? Can't see those in NC!)

FULL THROTTLE is the only way to drive GrandDad's boat!

We finally visited Prairie Dog Town. It's a nationally known place. Haven't you heard of it?

Bye Lubbock!! Now to DFW...

It was fun to see some of our oldest and dearest friends. We miss Kristi's cookies! My mouth is watering for them now.

We had a BLAST with rocket balloons in our old neighborhood with the neighbors.We met with my childhood friends and my favorite bass at Edelweiss German Restaurant. The kids had a blast on the dance floor, especially with "The Chicken Dance" and "The Hokey Pokey".

We're so lucky to be spoiled by Meme and Papa (Great-Grandparents) and to enjoy her cooking.

We were lucky to see cousins, (Daryl's family)

Fishing and fun at Grapevine Lake.

We forgot how to deal with the Texas heat! I love this picture. "Whew! I'm hot and tired!" after a few minutes of frisbee! We returned to NC with beautiful autumn weather and changing leaves with highs in the 70's! Ahhh, my favorite time of year.
