Our Tour of Texas

We just got back from our 2-week "tour of Texas". It was great to see so many friends and family. We spent the first few days with Mimi and Papaw in Dallas, enjoying their swimming pool (although you can tell from the picture that Kaitlyn wasn't a big fan of the cool water!) Then we drove to the coast to see Jason's dad. While we were there, Madison enjoyed riding the mini-4-wheeler and catching sand crabs. And Kaitlyn was able to meet Elmo and uncle Kenny for the very first time. Then we drove up to Jason's mom's house. We spent much of the day staying cool on the porch while Madison and cousin Captain played in the sprinkler and swam in the creek. From there, we spent a few days at Sam Rayburn Reservoir (a really nice, big beautiful lake in East Texas). It was there that Madison caught her first fish - a nice, ugly catfish that Madison didn't want to touch =) Then we drove into Houston and saw several of Jason's friends from college. Lastly, we made it back to Dallas and ended our trip with a backyard BBQ with my college friends. Whew! Glad to be back home ;)
