Texas Trip

From the St Louis Edition:

Steven had a couple days of vacation that he had to use before May.  What should we do with them?  Make a trip to Texas of course!

We had a wonderful visit and it ended much to quickly.

We left at 3:37 a.m. so that the babies would sleep a lot of the way making for a more peaceful drive.  They did well, but by the time we got there, Del was ready to be out of her car seat.  She and Danny thrived on all the attention from the aunts, uncles and grandparents!

When Danny saw this picture, his face lit up!

Danny quickly found the toys.  Uncle Sam was happy with him picking the tractor!  ;-)

He and Emma also enjoyed cooking together.

Danny loved playing, I mean washing dishes.  Haha

We enjoyed lots of volleyball, singing.... 

 Steven looks like he's conducting us.

Danny and Emma played very well together most of the time.

and many games of Settlers of Catan.

Steven made waffles for breakfast.

That's a lot to make for 10 people.

They were yummy.

Steven was their friend when he pulled the popcorn out!

When we left Monday morning, Dad, Rach and Liz got up at 3 am to see us off.  And we drove down the lane at exactly 3:37 a.m.

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8 ESV
