Texas

My family took a summer trip to Texas to see my folks.

First we stopped to see my dad, Bob.  I love him so.

Texan -born and raised-  just like me.

{And proud of it, I might say.}

One afternoon after a rain we took a walk to the park.

Aunt Brooke even let Ranae push the twins!

They are some sweet, cute boys.

We had no problem finding the ducks.

In fact, we got the impression they have done this before.

There were even some baby ducklings.

And Sarah especially loved feeding them.

After the ducks had scarfed all our food it was time for:

Playground Wars.

And my little brother thinks he won.

But the jury is still out.

Sarah Kate and Bristol are sitting on that jury

and with five brothers between them

it's going to be a close vote.
