Texas Romp – March 5-11, 2008

We were able to spend a week in Texas at my parent’s house. Grandma and Grandpa’s place is great for the kids. And we also saw my sister’s family who lives just a mile or so away. We were hoping to get out of the yucky northwest winter weather and enjoy some Texas sunshine. Instead, if you can believe this, it snowed on us. Dumped, really. It started literally while my sister was showing us her new pool and how the remote runs all the features…then…queue the snow. Guess we weren’t supposed to try out the pool afterall! Yup, March snow in Texas. Wow. Talk about bad luck. We had a blast anyway. We had a pretend tea party with all the little girls. Dressed up in costumes and all (gotta love the picture of Dad below). We also rode the old train, the “Tarantula” from Grapevine to the Fort Worth Stockyards. Cool place. Being around family means everything to us.
