Texas Trip July 3, 2011

We decided to go and see Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim this summer.  We haven't seen them in years, and we felt like we didn't even know our niece and nephews.  So, we made the journey!  We left Friday evening and get there the next morning.  I think the first pic is from Saturday, but the rest is a blur.  *Later- I remembered that we went to the indoor mini-water park*  We were able to get a lot of sleep while we were there.  Fortunately, our kids and Mary's like to sleep in.  Kate Lynn's "floor model" bed was very comfortable-Thanks Kate Lynn!  So, this is what we did on Sunday...
Rocco was feeding Logan a caramel apple.  What we learned about Logan: The boy loves to eat and that's all he does! :)

We drove the kids hard!  Here's Hunter and Giana passed out together.  They were inseparable during the trip.  Giana loves her 5 year old boy cousins.

Look at all of those kids jammed into that bathroom!  Giana, Hunter, Amber, Levi, Ethan, Jonah

Here we are cooking up a storm!  Mary's kitchen was like "Whoa!".  We cooked a big Sunday dinner and later that night we cooked for a busy Monday.  I was making twice baked potatoes.  Mary was making Panko breaded chicken.  I've usually got Rocco cooking by my side.  Hunter was waiting patiently.

Jim looks too comfortable here, right?!  Mary also made fried mozzarella balls!

And of course we played Monopoly Deal!  This was actually while we waited for church to start.  We aren't use to going to church in the afternoon!
