A Little Trip

We took a little family trip to Dallas last week because Brad had to do some training. So, instead of hanging out at home, the kids and I joined him for some great family time in McKinney.

Auntie came in town for the weekend
Making yummy jack-o-latern cookies



My mom took us to the Dallas Zoo on Thursday to see the new Savannah Exhibit. It's beautiful and on a week day, plenty of room for an energetic littly guy to run around.

(E's on the phone with Auntie; she was telling us she had made Aggie Angels!)

Ethan was a little hesitant to be so close to the gorilla

Kinley was able to meet more family while we visited Dallas.
Laura, Amanda, Kinley, and Ethan
Uncle Allen, Kinley, and Aunt Maribeth
meeting Kelsi at Texanna
(we took Kinley to Babe's for some yummy chicken fried steak, but it was so cold in there that I forgot a pic, oh well)



This was such a great car trip. As long as Kinley was dry and had a full tummy, she was a happy girl. Ethan enjoyed watching a DVD and entertaining his "precious sister." Notice that Maggie is the only one of our kids not sleeping, she just gets excited being in the car. Thank you, Lord, for allowing the car rides to be not stressful.
