On the road

I'll be posting all week about our fun family vacation to Texas. We went to Dallas to spend Thanksgiving with Riley's family. Riley's brother and his family flew down from Alberta, we hadn't seen them in 2 years. We had a lot of fun catching up and seeing the sites of TX. We spent most of our time in San Antonio. We went to the River Walk, Sea World, and on an African Safari!! Gracin was really sick the whole time. He has been throwing up for 7 days now... yeah we are taking him to the Dr. when he wakes up from his nap. Then almost everyone else got sick too. By the time Thanksgiving dinner actually came around, hardly anybody could even eat it. Other than people being sick, we had a great time. Thanks again Gammy C, Papa and Markee for having us:)

On the drive to TX Rhylan was using markers and a coloring book... she looked like this when we arrived.
Sites of the road:

Yeah it was nice and warm!
In case you didn't know, TX is the only state that is allowed to put their state flag as high as the US flag!
Austin TX:
We saw another bill board before I could get my camera focused. It said: Miss me yet? and It had a pic of Pres Bush waving on it!! It was so funny.
Gracin like to relax in the car.

Sorry Gracin is so sick! No fun. But it does sound like the trip was fun. Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

What a cool trip. Can't wait to see more. I'll have to tell you about our little adventure with Grady being sick this weekend sometime. I feel your pain.

Wow. You're brave. That looks like a fun trip. But road trips w/ kids are no easy thing. One tip: Nick Jr./Elmer's has this awesome water doodle book that has entertained BOTH my children for hours. It's like $5 or less, it comes w/ a little water refillable "brush", and the page turns different colors. Then, it dries back to black & white & the kids can color it. Again & again. Perfect for road trips. No mess, except a little water.
