Going to Grandmas'- A Trip to the Metroplex and Albany, TX

So what better time to head to north Texas other than when there is a major flood, right?!  Well, we did it, and survived it, and had a great time visiting family and friends.  What a nice way to kick off summer 2015!

 

Dress-up dolls with Maw 

 

He colors in the lines, too 

 

 

Traipsing out in the mud to check out the window lizard and get the mail

 I think I was the only one super excited about this 

 

 

Always helping out 

 

 

Maw snuggles 

 

 

Sitting on an organ, unusual this day and age ;-)

Fun had and bonds made while literally jumping in muddy puddles.  When in Texas..., right?!

Semi-muddy park fun 

 

 

Alice's favorite part of the trip : The Ag barn at the high school

Alice's Last Day of Pre-K

It is the end of an era.  Alice went to Pre-K for the last time.  What a little beauty she was at her end-of-year performance, and she sang beautifully.  Here are a few pictures from that day.

Such a big girl!  I can't believe she is five!

 

Little sis was at the performance to root her on...and make getting good pictures difficult. ;-)

 

There she is top right 

 

She is so excited to be off the Kindergarten next year and go to school with the "big kids".  Her mama is feeling very traumatized that she will be leaving the nest and attending school 5 days a week.  In the mean time, we have lots of memories to make this summer.
