The Texas Road Trip!

For Spring Break we headed to TX to visit Jon's sister and her family. We drove the 19 hours to get there. I bought the girls a few new videos and Barbie the Mermaid was their favorite they probably watched it 10 times on the way there and back! It was a long drive but we stopped in San Antonio which is only 15 hours away and stayed for the night and part of Sunday. (I made the pictures small because there are so many of them. You can click on them to see them bigger if you'd like)

At a rest stop for some soccer fun

We took a boat ride on the river!

very cool building that looks like it's only one sided

In front of the Alamo. We didnt go in because the line went around the block.

Eating at a non chain restaurant on the River Walk. It was sorta sad how many chains were there.

Playing the guitar at Pa's house

fun times on the fourwheelers!

Pa finally came home and the kids were so excited to see him.

A future country western singer?

Courtney played like a bass.

At the Houston Rodeo. Look at all that meet! The Turkey legs were delish!! Sydney practically ate one all to her self

Way to many people. It was free kid day so there were a ton of kids and the wits for the rides were a little longer then normal

Me and the twinks onthe balloon ride. Courtney loved all the rides and Sydney was scared of a lot of them. She wouldnt get on unless I went too!

Kaitlyn and Sam on the rollercoaster

Rhonda Sydney Courtney and I all in a row on the Merry go round. Syndey in the middle of the ride decided she wanted to be with me and tried to get down. Rhonda caught her. Silly and Scary!

Who doesnt like cotton candy!

Samantha won her very first carnival prize by throwing a ball and having it land on yellow. It's a stuffed penguin! She was very happy but we accidently left it in TX.

We went Old McDonald Farm near their cousins house. It was really fun. It had lots of playgrounds and animals to pet and even a train ride around the park.

a "gaggle" of Chickens!

Courtney had to pet the donkey!

Pigs!

and really fun rope swing!

and Auntie Rhonda ended the day with tasty popsicles!

She is just so adorable sleeping w her Beary

The last couple days I got sick (sinus infection and a nasty cough) so the drive home was pretty miserable. Jon drove the entire way home and we started in some pretty crazy rain!

The modelers in the hotel in El Paso!
