The stars at night are big and bright...

How I love Texas!! My wonderful sister Angie called me and asked if we would like to drive to Texas while her husband was out of town, Sure! Why not!! So a couple days later my mom and the kids and I too off for a wonderful adventure!! The drive, not so much, but we all survived!!
We got there late Sunday night, so the party began Monday morning with Gatti land!! Wa hoo, so much fun!! Pizza, pizza, salads and more pizza and lots of fun games to play.
How could the boys resist jurassic park combined with guns, oh the joys!!



Tuesday we headed to Lake Line Mall for Inflatable world. Super duper fun!!




The kids suckered Grammie-D into push pops, she is the best!

After all that jumping we had to head to Kirby Lane, oh my favorite place ever!!!


Wednesday we went to the Children's Museum. Here are Kaiden and Cam pretending to be the Austin Bats.
Making Shrinky Dink necklaces.
My little milking expert.
Avery and Cam working the register in the store.
Kaiden hard at work.
Thursday we went to the Natural Science park where the kids went super scientist crazy with all kinds of things to "Study." They even got super special fanny packs to carry with microscopes, magnifying glasses, paint brushes, etc. Keagan was in HEAVEN!



Even scientists have to take a little break to let it flow! (That is ok to pee on the trail, right?)
Digging for dino bones and finding more things to "Study"


Next we were off to Zilker Park to ride the Zilker Zepher, here is Keagan with his little crew of new friends. They were so excited they could sit together so they could talk about Star Wars.

Ok, if you can't go to Kirby Lane, then you MUST go to Chuys-- Oh Tex Mex heaven!!

Friday we headed to Kiddy Acres. Perfect size amusement park for the little ones.

Gotta Love the freak out!
Keagan and Kaiden had to each take a turn riding "Tyler" the horse.




The Ladies of the park. It was perfect, Angie's friend Laura and her cute kids joined us and we had the whole place to ourselves!
Riding the Ferris Wheel. Grammie was very comforting when she told the kids, don't worry, you are all in cages. Um, thanks Grandma! I don't think you can see the pure pleasure on camden's face, it was wonderful!
We had to make a stop at our old house, oh the good old days!
The Arbor is a must!
The cows

The chubby
Keagan doing more "Studying in the Jungle" Notice, It is January and there is GREEN. This is the way it should be!! Green and flip flops!!

My mom is behind the cow for any of you suspicious of my baby sitting alone.
Super HUGE thanks to Angie and Family for giving us such a wonderful wonderful time in Texas!! We love you tonz and had an amazing time!!!!!!!
