The Lone Star State

Getting there wasn't too shabby. The girls always adore the ICC bus! SO glad that we packed some toys in the girls' backpacks...they were happy in the terminal and on the plane. The day after we arrived, we had some surprise guests come to Fort Worth. We were able to spend a good day and a half with Bill and Jeff, to show them some Texas love! Waffle House was their first request. The Fort Worth Stockyards are a must for visit to FW! We made sure to go in the afternoon so we could see the longhorns walk down the street. It was awesome!

Hillary, Jeff, and I got thrown into jail ;)

And we even found some more animals to see. We love going to the stockyards!

Swimming was a big part of our vacation. Thank you Aunt Hillary for letting us crash your pool!

One highlight of the trip was Build-a-Bear. Lizzie and Cate were in absolute heaven.

We drove to Sulphur Springs to meet up with Grandma Killion. She spoiled the girls with some Lalaloopsy dolls--they were so happy!

We also met up with our good friends, the Stapley family! Temple, TX is our go-to place. The kids played very well together and the girls just adored Megan. I wish we could spend more than a few hours with them!

The families together! Complete with a band-aid on Lizzie's face. We've come a long way from our RA days :)

This is one of my favorites--The moms with our Vera Bradley baby bags!

Thanks for another fun day, Stapley's! Can't wait until next summer! John treated us to Chuck E Cheese. More heaven for Lizzie and Cate. Lizzie loved playing the games while Cate preferred riding the rides.

Chris's family threw a birthday party for Cate. Cate was a happy little lady. She loved every second of the attention!

As always, we had a fabulous stay in Texas. I can't ever find enough good things to say about the place. We loved spending time with the Texas Killion's. I hope we can return soon. Once a year is not enough!
