Texas Size Fun!

This past week Katelyn and I flew to Texas to see my roommate from college and her family. It was Katelyn's first plane ride and she did wonderful! It helped alot too that on the way there and back we sat beside two very nice businessmen that had kids, so a few times when she got fussy or moved around alot it truely didnt seem to bother them. Katelyn did have fun looking out the window and waving at everyone in the airport. She has an outgoing personality already!



Once we landed, Jess and her two boys picked us up and that night was a birthday dinner for her husband at her parents place. They live in downtown Fort Worth on the 19th floor with an awesome view. Katelyn had so much fun looking out the windows. Here are some pics!



The next day we took the kids to the Fort Worth Children's Museum and it was crazy busy there because it was a rainy day and spring break in Texas ( that is why we went this week because Jess is a teacher). But we made the best of it and the kids still had a lot of fun.

Eli and Katelyn taking it easy.

Katelyn playing on the gym mat. I tried to ignore the fact of all the germs that could be down there because she was having so much fun!

Katelyn pulling up on the window frame trying to look in.

Eli and Katelyn pushing the buttons to make the bubbles appear. They were doing it all by themselves.

After a morning at the museum, we headed back to Jess' house for naps and just hang out time. Here is a pic of our setup to feed the kids.

The next day we ventured to the zoo. I love going to the zoo, it always amazes me to see how different and unique God made all his creatures.


Here is Eli and Katelyn in front of the girafee to prove that they were at the zoo!

Mommy and Katelyn!

Elephants!

After we left the zoo we headed to a great Mexican restuarant and Katelyn loved the food and so did I! We have good places here, but nothing to what Texas has!

Loving Mexican food! She couldnt shovel it in fast enough!

It was so nice to just hang out and catch up right where we left off. I keep telling Jess she needs to move back and she keeps wanting us to move out there, so for now we will just have to keep visiting each other twice a year at least. Thursday katelyn and I headed home. We havent been home in over 3 weeks, so as much as I needed and enjoyed a trip away, it was nice to know we were heading home too for awhile. Thanks to all the Vicks and Lewis for a great trip! Cant wait to come again!

So sad that it is time to go home. Waiting at the gate.
