At the end of May we headed to Texas. Sean's baby sister was getting married and we made a big old trip out of it. Our first stop was in Dallas where my father lives.
The flight was delayed and terrible but we all survived.
Flying with kids is not my favorite. But we make it work!
We landed super late at night and stayed a a hotel near the near the air port. The next morning we went to my dad's house for breakfast. Then we packed up and went to go visit some of our old stomping grounds! We stopped by our favorite store, Gecko Hardware, and visited with the owner Andrea and George the chicken. We used to visit this store many times a week to visit the chickens, the nice people, and buy goodies and garden stuff. Love those guys!
Next we went to the arboretum! This used to be a favorite place for us to visit. Beautiful gardens and paths. I forgot how hot and humid Texas is. We didn't stay for as long as we had planned....ahh Texas. But we did get face paints and poke around a little bit.
After the arboretum we went to the Perot Museum - also a favorite. Dan and Kim met us there and we had a grand time!
That evening we came back to Dad's house and visited and played games.
This is how the girls were supposed to sleep:
This is more of what it looked like:
The next day was Sunday and we went to our old ward. It was so nice to be back there. Many of our friends had moved out of the ward, but it was great to see every one else! This is a picture that Evette took of me and Patricia. Patricia was in our Sunday School class but is now all grown up and getting ready to go on a mission! I'm so proud of our SS kids and the good choices they are making in their lives!! :)
We also drove by our old house and took creeper pictures of it.
Our friends the Bennions were just getting back into town that evening so we were able to come and visit with them and Jared (Emily and Lily were sick) for the evening. Good friends!
These 3 little girls had a ball together!
It was nice to visit my dad's place, see his new house, spend some time with him, and to also visit our old stomping grounds. Yay for Dallas!
