I love Texas Visits

On Thursday we flew to Texas (my Mom's birthday was Wednesday) so we figured it was the perfect weekend.  I haven't been to Bay City lately because we usually go to their Austin home.  It was so nice to be home!

Izzy is such a big girl in the airport, carrying her own bag. It was a long 12 hour day.  We booked non-direct flights with a 3 hour layover in Denver.  Not sure what we were thinking.  Cambry refused to sleep on the planes because she won't sleep while being held--made for a long day.  Luckily she slept in the stroller during our layover. 

When we got there Izzy was playing in different bedrooms and she found her birthday presents.  She loved the Merida doll.

Of course My Little Pony took the prize. 

Friday we went to A&A BBQ (a favorite) for lunch.  Then my Mom went to Wal-Mart with Izzy to get juice.  They came home with tons of new toys.  Not how I remember Wal-Mart trips as a kid.  

Izzy and Cambry both loved this car.  I think I need to get one for Cambry for her birthday.

We did a little shopping on the square and Grandma got lots of kisses.  

Izzy swam every single day and LOVED it.  As soon as she woke up she put her bathing suit on and was ready to go.  She thought the slide was awesome. 

She is such a great little swimmer. She swam the whole length of the pool, several times.  She actually prefers to swim on her back. 

She convinced Daddy and Papa to join her, even the dog jumped in a few times. 

Friday night we ate at a yummy Mexican restaurant. 

Saturday morning we went to the pumpkin patch.  Izzy enjoyed the games and even made it through the hole several times, thanks to her great coach standing nearby. 

My two sweethearts. 

We took my Mom to get a pedicure for her birthday.

Izzy did not want a Halloween pumpkin, she chose a flower. I love having girls. 

I probably consumed 5000 calories/day.  Brutal!!  Saturday night we went to K-2 Steakhouse, a favorite of mine.  I was going to go healthy, but the chicken fried steak and baked potato were so tempting.  I ate this all the time growing up and didn't gain weight so I figured it couldn't be that bad for me!

Saturday night there was a Family Fun Night at the Park.  There were inflatable bounce houses, free pizza, games, it was lots of fun. 

The dog was one of Izzy's favorite things.  She lead her around like a horse. 

She even rode her like a horse.  She is know telling us she also needs a big dog.

Sunday afternoon we walked along the beach.  Izzy loved finding sea shells.

Daddy and Cambry.

Love this little girl.

She absolutely loved the beach. 

This was one of my favorite, most relaxing vacations in a long time.  We ate at all my favorite restaurants, I got to sleep in (thanks to my mom getting up with the kids), we swam, shopped, and just hung out.  My kind of trip!
