One last trip before school!

We are officially finished traveling for the summer! On Friday we packed up and headed to Abliene with Todd's mom and dad. Dan's twin brother (and his whole family) and Mamaw live in Abliene. Todd's younger brother from Dallas and his wife and little boy met us as well. It was nice to all be together. The kids had a blast swimming in the hotel pool and we had lots of great food! We took a few pictures and I wanted to share a few! Nicholas (cousin) came back to Lubbock to stay with Dan and Kay for the week and they visited Muleshoe today to play in the treehouse and the playground at school. They had a really great time and Nick sure didn't want to go home! Star Wars Clone Wars comes out in theaters this Friday and hopefully it will be at the drive in. If it is, we plan on suprising the kids and taking them. I am not sure Nicholas has been to a drive in before!

This is the pool at the hotel. Kamron jumping off Todd's shoulders. Addyson was swimming across the whole pool with out her float! She has come so far this year with swimming!

IN THE AIR!
I love this picture! Look at Tyler's face... Dan was snoring and Tyler was mesmerized. Sorry Grandear!
Try keeping 4 little kids still in a TINY apartment with MANY breakable items. Gotta LOVE Nintendo gameboys!
Addyson and Kamron got to ride in Cory and Tina's convertable. They were SOO excited. Addyson said it was "AWESOME" Tyler and Nicholas were with us.
Kamron and Nicholas being silly in the lounge of the hotel.
This picture has a story. We were sitting at the hotel's happy hour and just as Kay was going to take the picture, a drink, a LARGE drink was spilled into Todd's lap amd she caught it on camera! GO NANA!!
After cleanup, we got the picture!
Addyson LOVES Tina. Tina and Cory live very close to the American Girl Bistro store. Addyson and her would have a blast playing with all "their" dolls. I told Addyson I was going to put her on a plane for the weekend to stay with aunt Tina. She said, " Mommy I don't want to just spend the night with Tina, I want to live with Tina!!" Every chance she had, she was in her lap. She loves you Tina, can't wait for you to come to Muleshoe to visit!!
There was a wedding reception right in front of our room on Saturday night. Where the kids are posing for this picture, they could of watched the entire reception. The hotel was BUSY! 4 family reunion and one wedding! Addyson loving on Mamaw!

Now it is full swing ready for school. I am ready for routine and the only way to achieve that is to start school, so I guess I am getting ready!!

What a fun trip! We are getting an American Girl store here at the Mall of America (about 20 minutes away).
