This past weekend Josh and I had a crammed pack, fun-filled weeked in Texas with my sister and brother-in-law (Bentley & Adam). It was so good to see them and catch up on things, as well as see miss Ella (who, by the way is now potty trained and speaking like a little adult!)

As you can probably tell from the pictures, there was never a dull moment. The first couple of days we were there my two youngest brothers were there as well. They had stopped by for a little while on there long journey around the U.S which they had started about a week prior. While they were there we visited the Alamo, River Wall, and took a long walk around downtown San Antonio. After there left on Friday morning, Adam, Bentley, Ella, Josh and I all packed up the Tahoe and headed to Corpus Cristie to hang out at the beach for the day. The beaches in Texas allow you to drive your vehicle out on the sand and campout for free! We had a blast!

Saturday we went out to a place in Gruene County Texas (home of the Gruene Hall (where George Staright and Lyle Lovette became famous and the dance scene in "Michael" was filmed)). It was a very neat old town, so much fun to walk around feeling like you've gone back to the early 1900's.

Sunday morning we all got up early to head out to Sea World for the day. This was truly an amazing place to see! Josh got to ride on his first waterpark slides (he loved it), and the shows were out of this world! Like nothing either of us had ever seen before. After that we had to make our way back to good 'ole Birmingham, Alabama, and after a few flight delays in Texas we finaly made it home on Monday.
