Trip to Texas

As a family, we took a road trip to Texas. But before we did, Grandma and Grandpa Strong came to stay with us in Colorado for a week. That's what the 1st pictures in the slideshow are of. We had a great time with Grandpa and Grandma, it was nice for them to spend some time with us and with their granddaughter. Then, the 5 of us started our journey to Texas. We all had hopes we could arrive to Round Rock, Tx in one day, but unfortunately we had a blow-out tire along the way and had to take our car to the shop for new tires. So by the time it was 9pm we were all so tired and decided to have a good night sleep at a hotel. At least we had some fun swimming in the pool before bed. The next morning we ate a delicious hot breakfast and continued on our way and arrived to our destination later that afternoon.

We spent the first several days in Round Rock staying with my sister and her family and then in Houston with my brother and his family. We had a wonderful time. Cassidy especially enjoyed getting attention from her cousins and aunts and uncles. It was so fun to watch Cassie play with her cousins.

While in Texas we enjoyed many activities such as bowling, rock climbing, water skiing at the lake, having fun in the boat, swimming, going to an Aquariam, watching white tigers play, eating good food, playing games, staying up late talking, watching movies, evening strolls around the neighborhood, playing a game of UNO that would last forever, and just enjoying the time we had together. Unfortunately we weren't able to go to the beach, the weather decided it wasn't going to work out :( But it didn't keep us from having fun! We were having such a good time the week certainly went by super fast! Thanks for everything guys we had a blast and shared some good memories!

**Lots and Lots of pictures...sorry...I even narrowed it down a lot :)**
