Don't Mess With Texas

Texas time!

Cowgirl Lucy,

10 weeks old on her first trip......to Texas!

Lucy loved the cowboys!

Look at her face, and look at those cowboys!
The airplane!

James had some work to do in Dallas, and since his sister Launi lives 15 minutes from the hotel he would be staying at, Lucy and I decided to travel along!
We visited sites in Irving, North Richland Hills, Grapevine, Keller, Dallas and Ft. Worth.

Ft Worth Stockyards
The most impressive cows we've ever seen!
Every day at 11:30 and 4:00, they have a cattle drive down main street.

We had never seen cows with horns before.

Wow Texas Longhorns!!!
We had our first taste of Texas fried pickles!

We were able to spend a day in Dallas. We visited the 6th Floor Museum and the Grassy Knoll, where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. James and I both love American History, and found this part of the trip really interesting!
Launi and I, by the Grassy Knoll and in front of the 6th Floor Museum.
There are X's in the street, showing where JFK was shot.
Launi took us to the best of the best Texas restaurants.
We had lunch at Central Market (the most amazing store),
dinner at Love & War in Texas (Seth's favorite), ate at Yucatan Taco Stand (Derrick's favorite), and The Feedstore (Eli & Gideon's favorite),
and enjoyed all of the yummy food that Texas has to offer!

We loved hanging out at the Walker's house.
A pool, a hot tub, and a basketball team....they have the perfect party house.
This was the first time James has played basketball since he broke his nose 6 weeks ago!
He is definitely back in the game!

We had to take our favorite Texas Rangers to Yogurtville,
their equivalent to Orange Leaf!
Look at all that yogurt!
Our 4 tough Texas Nephews.

Derrick, Seth, Eli and Gideon with Uncle J
(Baby Lucy is tucked away in the back corner).

We loved hanging out with the Walker's....
bbqing, basketball playing, movie watching, and sight seeing!

What a fun week! Thank's for showing
us a great time Walker Family!
We love Texas!
We packed Lucy up, and flew back home!
She was missed by many...even more than Mom and Dad.
When we got home, Abby, Kate, and friends Kaylee and Maddie all wanted to hold Lucy and kiss her and love her! They sat in a circle and passed her around! They are so sweet to her!
They missed her so much and couldn't believe how much she had grown in a week!
Thank's Papa J and Grammy for taking
such great care of Abby, Kate and Ella while we were gone!
