We just got back from an awesome vacation to visit my sister in Texas. It was so much fun and we definitely needed the vacation. The only bad part was the drive. It took us about 23 hours to get there and we decided to do it all in one day so we didn't have to waste vacation days driving. We got there Friday night and had to leave the next Saturday morning so we had a whole week of fun in the sun!
Monday or Tuesday (now I can't remember which day) Jessica took us to a delicious BBQ place called Spring Creek. They had the best rolls! Really they were like little piping hot loafs of bread but they we're unlimited so I just kept eating and eating. It was a really good place.
Most of the pictures we took are of swimming. I didn't really think to take my camera out at any other time. We went swimming a couple of times and even though Tato looks horrified in this picture, she absolutely loved swimming. Every minute of it. For awhile there she had a perma-grin. Guess we'll have to take her swimming more often.
This is what Terry looked like most of the time. He was usually dragging a few kids around the pool.
She liked this little dolphin thing that Jessica had, but after awhile she got way too relaxed in it and started to doze off so we took her out of it.
Perma-grin.
In addition to swimming Jessica helped me make a quilt. Ok really I helped her make a quilt. She did 98 percent of the work. But I did pick out alot of the fabric and I sewed some squares together. I also ironed alot.
Here's the finished product. Cool huh! Thanks Jess for helping me make a quilt. We also made cards and did all sorts of crafty things. I had a lot of fun.
Well since we did so many girly things like quilting and making cards (we also rented "He's Just not That Into You" which is a chick flick), I agreed to take Terry to go see the new Terminator movie while Jessica babysat for us. We found an AMC so that we did not have to go to a Cinemark. The movie was decent. Pretty much what you would expect from a futuristic robot movie I guess. I've never seen any of the previous ones though so I don't know. Terry liked it ok. He still likes the other ones better though.
We had a gift card from Applebee's that I got for my Birthday from Tricia so we went there after the movie.
We did other things like play games with the kids, watched movies, visited and stayed up way too late most nights. It was a very relaxing time. We definitely needed this vacation and we had a ton of fun. Tato did too. I think she's gonna miss playing with all her cousins.

Wow - Tato has gotten so big! I love the pictures of her swimming and her big smile. Great job on the quilt!
How fun! I love your quilt, it looks awesome! Terry is so patient, he always seems to be covered in kids whenever I see him. He makes for a good Dad/Uncle/Brother. :)
Lucky!!! I haven't seen Jessica and her family in 5 years! Looks like you had a good time. Violet is getting brattier by the day.
We miss you guys already! Glad you had a safe trip back. All the kids miss Tato -- especially Kenzie. Just tonight she said, "Don't look at Tato when you're sitting at the table, or she'll come over and get you." Already you were a part of our normal day. It's so much hotter this week, so it's good you came when you did!
