And We're Off!

We had fun with family in town this last week.  My family generally keeps pretty busy with family stuff going on and spending time with everyone.  Monday, my parents and Sandi and Taz went up to the cabin for the day and had fun up there, then came back in the evening.  For FHE, Dan got a used tire and a rope and hung a tire swing in the back yard for the kids - they had a blast washing it off and swinging in it!

Jon surprised us all by driving in and showing up to help Sandi out - Taz had been kinda clingy with all the changes, and Sandi wasn't feeling good and was tired courtesy of the little bun in her oven.

We met Grandpa and Doug and Frank and Tina and Frankie for breakfast on Thursday, then the boys (and kid)  left and the women went for a bit of pampering.  I am continually grateful that my kids are getting this chance to know my grandpa!  

On Friday, the family headed back to Texas and after school got out, Dan and I took the kids down to Aunt Tina's house.  We went and did a session at the Temple and  then had dinner together at Chili's.  After we went home to pack and do a bit of cleaning .

Saturday morning, we were picked up by Newell and Becky and headed to the airport.  We arrived in Galveston, checked into our hotel, and headed out to dinner.  It was rater strange being able to go do something with out having to worry about arranging a sitter, or worrying about kids bed times :)

Sunday we got on the boat - the Carnival Magic - and got lunch and got settled into our rooms.
