Back in September, Steve and Rachel came to Texas. It was a great excuse for Paul's family and my family to meet up at my parents'. Paul and Cristy moved to Dallas in July and we still hadn't gotten together with them. Getting all of my siblings together is quite the feat, so we'll take what we can when we can. We enjoyed our time with 3 out of the 5!
We drove up Thursday evening since Rachel didn't have school that Friday due to Fort Bend County Fair Day. We were hoping after a few hours in the car everyone would crash. I believe Ian and Audrey did a good job of sleeping, but Rachel stayed awake the whole time. On Friday we went into a nearby town to a place called Leapin' Lizards. We've had fun there in the past. Grandma had to work that day, so Papa helped show the girls how to play some pool:
We met Grandma up for lunch and then headed back for Ian's nap. Friday evening Paul, Cristy and their kids arrived. The kids had fun with their cousins. It was still warm and the kids enjoyed the slip n' slide on Saturday:
It was interesting to watch the cousins play. They definitely enjoyed playing all together at times. But Rachel and Aaron really hit it off and so did Audrey and Ashlyn. It was nice because they all had someone who had similar interests. I think everyone had a good time and everyone had a playmate. Jacob and Ian got along pretty well for the most part. I just didn't get any pictures of them together...
A quick picture with Steve and Rachel on Saturday night:
Everyone had to head back home on Sunday. Before leaving on Sunday we put the cousins in birth order and grabbed a picture:
Even though the time was short, it was great to spend time with Steve and Rachel. And now whenever someone comes to Texas, we for sure see Paul, Cristy, and their kids as well. We're glad they live closer now and hope the rest of you come visit when you can!!!
