Amarillo and Back

Well we finally made the drive to Amarillo and back. It has been 2 years since we have been there and it was time. The car rides were not exactly pleasant but no need to dwell on that. We had a blast being there and spending time with family. We left early on Friday morning and made a stop at the OKC zoo to break up the drive. Georgia had been up Thursday night running a fever so she was a little punkish but by the time we got to Amarillo she was her normal spunky self.

Riding a baby elephant. Every time G sees one of these statues she asks "Is it dead or not real?"

We took a train ride and I got to love on my sweet Darby.

Nanue and Big Poppa closed on a new house two weeks ago which was part of the reason for the trip. It is a great place and we loved it. Reminded us of home.

The house is on a lake and in a gated community.

Darby fell in love with Big Poppa and was always asking about him.

They have and awesome children's museum we went to with the cousins. This thing simulated clouds.

Caroline bouncing balls.

We spent a long time playing on the sand tables. The circle spun and you could make designs in the sand.

Darby only ate a little sand.

Georgia and Jack.

Lots of treats to be had at Nanue's. The girls averaged two Popsicles a night.

The lake area is overpopulated with deer and they have little fear of humans. The girls got such a kick watching them through the big windows.

Nanue and her blue-eyed babies.

All of the cousins.

Oh, and don't forget the ice cream sandwiches.

Georgia had so much fun playing with Caroline it makes me sad they live so far away.

Darby and Jack never really played together, more just checked each other out.

Darby working on saying "cheese."

It was a great trip and we are so happy to have the memories and for Georgia to know Nanue and Big Poppa don't live at the airport.
