Our Annual Winter Trip

We started out at Granmommy's on Wednesday evening.  She had Zack's birthday gift.  She also had Uncle Steve's clarinet, and sadly, once he saw that, he wasn't too interested in the Ganmommy's version of Lupe's nachos (one of Zachary's favs) or the gifts.

You had me at 'Hello.'
In the morning, we had our teeth cleaned and headed for lunch with my cousin Amy.  Short, but sweet, and certainly glad to see her when I could.  We missed Lauren, and I'm sure she was a little jealous.

Next stop:  Travis and Cassie's new casa.  Wow, it was beautiful!!!  I think Cassie mentioned something about decorating, but I was so impressed with all she's had going on.  Her kiddos were super fun, and Zachary and Alex played light sabers for at least 2 ours on Thursday and 2 hours on Friday. 

Three boys, various ages, all having fun.
It's story time with Zachary.
Age didn't matter...to them, the force was real!
Aunt Ruth and Aunt Kathy were ready for lunch when we arrived.  Aunt Ruth had found a super cool Star Wars puzzle as a surprise for Zachary.  And anyone who knows Aunt Kathy, knows she is a puzzle fanatic.  She was hooked when Zachary was ready to piece it together and changed her plans at least 2x while we were working on completing the puzzle.  Ruth is always a wonderful hostess!

Can't resist a puzzle!
Last stop, was to see Traci.  She was ready when we got there with a cookie cake for Zachary's birthday and his gift.  We gave Elise her gift a little early.  We played tether ball, jumped on the trampoline, knitted, watched dirt bike riding, and went to Lupe's.  All that in a span of about 8 waking hours.

Determined to be an Aggie!

4 days, 5 stops, and 14 people.  Not too bad of trip, and we had a great time!!!
