Our Texas Tornado of a Trip!

Our trip to Texas this summer was GREAT!

No family get together would be complete with out a family photo session! It was hot as a pepper, but we braved the heat and got some great photos! We went to some ruins of an old church. I will let Britni post the family pictures as they were taken with her camera! Here are some of the snap shots I got...


Handsome Jack!Two wild men - Jack and Bowen! Kate - what a beauty!


Best cousins - Kate and Brooklyn!



The girls in their Mexican dresses!

The ruins


NO trip to Texas is complete without a stop at Rudy's Barbecue! Ummmm, ummmm, GOOD! I could eat that brisket every day! LOVE IT!



I just love the atmosphere at Rudy's - it is so Texas and it makes my heart (and tummy) happy!




We also enjoyed an evening swim at the Fernandez home! They were so sweet to let the kids and adults swim, while Joel and Stephen went out and shot up an old car! Everyone had fun!

This is Jack and the cows in the background! Jack was mooing at them!



Here is Papa and his boys!



Silly Papa going down the slide! He kept his glasses on the whole time he was in the pool! When he popped up after going down the slide head first he came up minus his glasses! He didn't even realize! It was pretty funny!


My mermaid Kate!





Papa and Aunt Britni with Kate!



Clair was SO scared - Jerry was kind enough to help her get to the half way point and then slide down! Once was enough for her!


Brooklyn on the slide!


Kate on the slide! She didn't have her nose plug!




A few days later Aunt Emily graciously treated everyone to a trip to the San Antonio children's museum! It was great fun!
Here is Kate in a bubble!



Bowen and Jack brushing some teeth!


Papa being checked out by Dentist Clair!



Papa measuring up to "The Admiral" - David Robinson one of the greatest players in the NBA!


I just didn't get enough pictures this trip! I missed Jack's birthday, the 4th of July, playing on Fort Primos (the play ground papa built in his backyard), Incredible Pizza, and the kids painting art on papa's fence! So, Em and Brit, if you have any of these, please post them! Thanks for a great Call Family Fun Fest 2009!

Texas doesn't seem the same without you guys. The pictures don't begin to capture all the fun we had. Thanks for documenting everything with pictures. I didn't do such a good job with that. Sorry!
