We visited MeMa and PopPop on Saturday and MeMa had saved a wishbone from a chicken for the kids. As you can see, they both were motionless while she was explaining it to them.
We finally convinced them to break it, but they weren't sure of the whole process. Chase had to go to his happy place when it was over and asked me if he could suck his thumb.
Chase loving on PopPop.
And Julianna loving on the other PopPop. I think the book she brought him to read to her was called, "Common Ailments and How to Treat Them". Or something like that. :)
After dinner one night the kids got to enjoy music from MomMom and PopPop's Player Piano. All the kids love to see this piano play all by itself and they love to dance to the music.
Here come the dance moves.
Lots of tea parties were also enjoyed while in Texas. I love that the kids will play so well together. This is a benefit of having them so close together, no doubt.
Sunday was a busy day. We started off at church with MeMa and PopPop and MomMom and PopPop. After that it was lunch at home and what else, but football.
While the boys watched football, JuJu pranced around in her pink high heels!
Sunday was also our 6th wedding anniversary. We took advantage of the babysitters and went to dinner. It was nice to be alone, even if it was just a couple of hours.
Chase was very concerned about our anniversary and wanted to know what it was, etc. So we told him that we'd take pictures of it all and show him the next day, which we did. So, this is where we ate. It's a Cajun Seafood restaurant on the Kemah Boardwalk, which is right on the ocean. This whole area was totally wiped out in the hurricane last year, but is now re-built. I think this restaurant is new to the boardwalk since the hurricane.
We had really wanted to take the kids to the boardwalk for the rides while we were there, but it was really crowded the one time we tried, so we left. Hopefully we can do it next time b/c it's a lot of fun!
MomMom and PopPop took the kids to a pumpkin patch while we were at dinner. They said that Julianna really wanted to pet this dog.
They each got a pumpkin, which I somehow managed to pack in our suitcases, along with 3 new pairs of shoes and a halloween costume. I never thought I'd be stuffing real pumpkins in my suitcase though. :)
Monday we hit a few more stores and then Panera for lunch. Texas has so many stores and restaurants and lots of things that we don't have here. So we love to hit up our favorite places while we're there. The kids even got in a nap before we had to head to the airport.We had a great trip but probably won't be making it back until next fall. That seems like a long time from now, but there's a baby on the way! Hopefully we'll get some visits from the grandparents though.
