in texas

 

it's been a while because we've had a very busy summer! we went to texas for two weeks, but when it was time for tyson to go home i didn't want to just sit at home while he worked from 6 am to 10 pm and then fly... and i thought about how most of the time i would do anything for a two week vacation in texas with my family and so i extended my stay for two more weeks.. i ended up being at home for a month which was great, plus it was free to extend my flight through southwest :) i got to see a lot of bruce and katie because they were setting things up for school this fall in houston. they made us a real Chinese feast... hot pot.

 

it was awesome. and we got to spend time with daniel in between his scout camp, efy and philmont. cara was home most of the time too because we slept in most days and she usually got off work at 12. she got a wii while we were there and so we all had fun with wii fit.

 

we went to san antonio twice- once to see the alamo and river walk and once for sea world.

 we also got to see a lot of my cousin josie who came down for the summer to nanny for dave (my cousin) and crystal. we loved spending time with all of them... we had them over a few times... crystal did our family photos (soon to come) and we had lunch with dave downtown at the dallas museum of art (right by where he works), and we took josie shoppin a couple of times to spend her nanny money. 

we also spent a lot of time with jon and pam. they were over a lot because they were in the process of buying a house in the same ward as my parents. i helped them paint it after they closed and we helped them get their monies worth at their apartment pool with a few swim dates before they moved out. ps. their kids are third cousins to abby!
