Bradley and Holden on the playhouse in backyard.
Bradley, Holden and Guard on the big slide.
Calais was a great supervisor.
Daniel wasn't a big fan of the big slide.
Eliza playing fetch with Timber.
Andy and Uncle Daniel spend most of the morning gathering rocks to make a fire place out back.
This historic site is about two blocks away from their house. It was under reconstruction.
Even though it was pretty cold outside the kids enjoyed playing in the mud and the river!
Atlas waded across the river, it wasn't deep, and climbed the vines trying to get some bark out of a tree.
We enjoyed breakfast, lunch and visiting before hitting the road again.
Andy enjoying some chicken that was left over from lunch.
While in Texas we visited with Great-Grandma, Aunt Vickie and Uncle Bucky.
Pepper, Uncle Bucky and Eliza

Daniel was a good supervisor.
Great-Grandma and Eliza
Matt and Lily are staying in Texas with Grandma and Grandpa while Matt does some medical rotations.
Uncle Matt had some time off and the kids enjoyed rough housing with him.
Eliza especially benefited from his assistance. :)
Andy enjoyed "working" in the fields with Grandpa. He liked any job he could do with the tractor.
Eliza loved being outside "helping" dad.
Andy loved to ask her, "Do you want to come with me?" To which Eliza would always say, "Yeah!"
We enjoyed some good weather during our visit, so we went to the zoo one day. For the record Eliza isn't really picking her nose...she is pointing to the elephants and saying, "Hi elephants!"
The fam including the bun in the oven. Thanks Daniel for covering it up!
Some of our favorite animals.
This was a huge Gar.
That is Daniel on the left and Alina and Matt on the right.
We also stopped at the petting zoo to see the goats.
Daniel
Bradley and Daniel asked the man working in the petting zoo about the names of all the goats.
Alina, liked the goats from a distance as long as Dad was close by.
Dad trying to help Eliza feel more comfortable up close to the goats.
Eliza finally got brave enough to pet one.

We loved the "spitting" animals.

Congratulations on the new "bun!!" That's so exciting!
We love petting zoos around here, and elephants, and even picking our noses. :)
A zoo is always a favorite in our book. So much fun to see all you and your family are up to. Your kids are getting so big!
