Texas Part 4: Hanging Out Monday

Monday of Thanksgiving week we just hung out and... well, hung out.

 We kids got to sleep in the loft with the pool table and slot machine. Elsie wanted to sleep under the pool table. :) She settled for building a "house" under there, though. :)

 Soccer anyone?
 Seth was a great goalie.

 What would a trip to Texas be without a self-portrait-with-palm-trees? ;)



 We all had stickers to put on cups- with 30+ of us there, it was totally smart.


 The kids all loved the new toys they got to play with that Aunt Carole keeps at her house for her great grand daughter.



 Grand Dude arrived Monday evening.

 Mother and Daddy got to stay in the "antiques" room... so full of history and really cool old stuff. It was a lot of fun to go through all the drawers and stuff with Aunt Carole and her telling the stories behind everything.

 Bonding with Uncle Scott, Daddy's big brother.


It may be awhile before I'm able to post again, but Willa wrote a great post on her blog about our trip:

Hi Olivia,

I'm one of your aunts in Texas. I haven't seen you since you were a little girl, a very long time ago, and I wanted to tell you how beautiful you've grown up to be - inside and out!

I love your blog. Your writing and photos are excellent. Thank you for sharing. I feel like I'm getting to know you guys again. Maybe someday in the future we can meet again.

Thank you for sharing,

Aunt Mary in TX

Like the picture of Elsia and like your expression and hair in the self-palm-portrait.
