We had another fun trip to Texas this year to see Grammy and Papa. We had a great time and all of the boys made incredible strides with their swimming. There are a ton of pictures here, so I’ll let them speak for themselves!

“We’re here to pump (clap) you up!

At the airport. The boys and I flew out together, and Jonathan joined us a week later.

They were troopers on the airplane. I even got to read for an hour!

Checking out those emergency manuals. I remember reading these thoughtfully as a child.

First stop: LegoLand!

On one of the rides.

Poor Silas was an inch too short to join his brothers in this cool play space

So he kept busy doing other things

Silas was also a year too young to participate in this fun activity (which is such a shame, because he drives his Jeep so well!)

Grammy and the boys

Happy hour

Silas loves Cosette! He is asking for (two) kittens now.

He enjoyed being in charge of her meals

Bedtime

Papa and Avery heading out to the Perot museum of Nature and Science

Meanwhile Grammy and the little boys did some baking

Daddy finally arrived! The boys were (literally)  lining up to be tossed into the pool!

Happy hour!

Notice Silas saying “suckers!”

In the evenings we worked on this 750 piece puzzle (Avery’s choice)

Playing Mille Borne

And we’re off

Highlight of the trip home was not only saving money on a layover, but getting to ride in a prop plane!
