We started the weekend by heading down south. We were going to stay with cousins, Mallory and Morgan (it's no longer Brad and Shannon's, it's all about the cousins!) in Temple. But Morgan was running a fever and possibly contagious, so we decided to use one of our free room passes at the Embassy Suites in Austin.
We made a stop at Cracker Barrell for dinner and for the kids to play on the rocking chairs out front and run around a bit. It's a perfect midway place....
Soooooo much fun! We got into Austin around 8pm and because we had already spilled the swimming pool beans, we had to head down to take a little swim with the kids. We got back....got ready for bed, etc. The room was set up perfect and Julia loved sleeping on her make shift bed on the couch with a chair pushed up against it.
The next morning we got up, Jason and Julia went down for a goodbye swim while Johnathan and I "packed" (yah right!). Then we all went downstairs and ate our wonderful complimentary breakfast.
After checking out, we headed to the Longhorn Coop to buy Jason a new Longhorn hat and the kids a t-shirt to add to their wardrobe. It was fine. Lots of cute things, although they would have been much cuter had we been surrounded by maroon things rather than burnt orange. Nonetheless, I obliged and took cute cute pictures of Father, daughter and son.
We then headed to Zilker Park, sort of ate lunch there and played on the play ground. Then we met BMom and Pop and cousin Mallory!
Mallory hopped in our car and us girls followed all of the boys down to "Shay and Steven's" house on KENNA MIST (you had to be there).
We got settled in, got dressed to go to the Easter program (ShayShay sang in it), which the whole thing was AMAZING! I think I got saved again!
Here is THE cutest/sweetest pic of BMom and Pop with the girls.....I'm black and white-in this one!
And the next day we made a trip to see the dog park where Briley and Landry get to play with other dogs...then on to a kid park for the kids to play, then to lunch, then a long drive home.
These are pics from the park. And a pic of all of us girls with our flip flops on (Mallory and Julia switched shoes, just fyi!). We missed Shannon and Morgan's feetsies - we'll get 'em next time:
">We got up and were at our church by 9am for praise team practice, early service and working in childcare for second service. Then lunch out with Boppy, home for naps and an Easter egg hunt after naps.
Whew! It was a long weekend, but so great to celebrate that we are His. Still amazed how much Jesus took on so we could live eternally. If you do not know the Lord, you will NEVER regret asking Him to reveal Himself to you. I promise your life will NEVER be the same. Happy Easter!
