Our trip to the place where everything is bigger...TEXAS!

Jeff and I headed to Texas to visit my sister Sarah, and her adorable daughter Abby... I don't know where to start with all of the fun we had, but I know I wish I could go back! It wasn't just the high temps, or the tons of different things we did, but how much fun we had spending time together! It's really funny how much Abby and I are alike, I think it may scare Josiah a bit.. ;) But our instant bond came from our love of shoes.. I have included a few of the pictures of the fun things we did, and with us just acting crazy.. ( I know hard to imagine me acting crazy!) Enjoy!!

There were too many pictures to blog all together... If you would like to see more of the trip, click here to see Sarah and Josiah's Blog.. http://www.stinsonfamily27.blogspot.com/
Here are some pictures of our trip to the Zoo..

Sarah and Abby went down this really cool slide that went through a fish tank!!


Abby and I

Abby loves purses, as much as I do... here she is at the Zoo ready to go shopping..

Our Trip to the Museums

Jeff and Abby, one of my favorite pictures from the trip..

Jeff in his "Special" Suit... We had a great time learning about the robots they use.. you would think he planned his outfit to match the suit! :)


Our Trip to the Alamo

Sarah and Abby... I got to do her hair and dress her everyday... So of course she looked like such a doll!

The girls in the car headed to the Alamo..

A couple of pictures from outside at the Alamo

Last but not Least the RODEO!! Yehaaawww...

Abby and I waiting in the car, while Jeff and Sarah ran into the store... she just looked so cute, I couldn't resist a picture!



Abby trying my Cowgirl hat on for size, we shared it during the Rodeo.. (You can't go to Texas and not get a hat!) I used it as a "Carry On" for my trip home, so it wouldn't get squished!

Some fun pictures from the actual Rodeo..

Looks like somebody had a little too much fun in Texas... I love the "Tan" - it's hot! It goes well with your cowboy hat :) Abby's hair is so much fun - I can't wait until Lexi gets some! :)

Yes, it does scare me quite a bit how much you and Abby are alike. Hopefully I can curb her off her shoe addiction before she hits the teenage years.

I'm glad that you had such a good time. Wish that I was there.
