I was finally able to make my long-awaited trip to the Austin area this past weekend! My parents and I chose to drive this time since our last trip didn't quite pan out how we wanted (ie OKC tornado!). We have a lot of family in the area and although the main reason was to visit my 92 year old grandmother, I loved being able to hug on three of my cousins, their spouses, kid, and an aunt and uncle!!
My cousin, Lib, and her husband welcomed us to their home. Another cousin, Jace, joined us for a great dinner on a lake-view restaurant!
My Kyle loved driving through Kyle, Texas, when our family went to Sea World and then again a few years ago for a family wedding. I took several shots of signage with his name throughout the town to make him smile!
Here is my MyMy! :) She is ALL dolled up and ready for us. She lives in an assisted living/memory care facility, and the nurses put on her Sunday best - sparkly earrings included - when they learned we would be visiting. MyMy currently has some speech issues from a stroke but it was wonderful to see the twinkle in her eyes and to give her a hug.
Priceless grins. She was so happy to have her little boy visit!
Grandpa and MyMy when they were young and pretty!!! Good-looking family!
Our next stop was at my cousin Luke's house for an afternoon! We had lunch at a great place near Texas State and dinner at a steak place. Thanks for the hospitality, Richards!
One cute thing - when they married, we signed a picture frame. Grant wrote his "Grant5" on it! Cute to go back and see this hanging in their entryway.
While I was away for 48 hours, Jason had a blast with the boys. They were going to celebrate our annual Brother's Day, but Grant didn't want to celebrate with out his Mom (ahhhh).
Thanks, Nana, for watching them on Friday! He sent me some pictures of their fun....
Reid's first movie - Monsters University! Jason said he did awesome!
and he loved that Reid crawled in to his lap for most of the show! :)
Our deer friend behind our house!
