It was a great time - other than the fact that I froze. It was cold up there. It rained, which I loved, which made it cool off. I was glad to return to the Texas heat.
Kayden hasn't been up there in a while, at least a year, so it was good for him to get up there and "meet" family again. Kimmie, his aunt, is his BFF down here in TX. She had a run for her money up there to maintain that BFF status. She was not pleased with this at alll, to say the least. Kayden's new BFF's now consist of Mary Lou, Darlene, Julie, Cindy, Dave, and James. He couldn't get enough of them! Although, I think Mary Lou was his favorite - no offense! He was her little shadow. They cooked and played and baked and cooked and cooked more together. He was quite the "helper". Thanks, Mary Lou!!
During our time there, Cindy was gracious enough to take pics. Thanks, Cindy!! She got some really great ones of Kayden playing at a park and he even went on the slide! For some reason, with us, he won't go on one. But with her, he gladly climbed up and slid down. I wasn't there, so I didn't get to see it, bummer. Maybe another time.
Darlene, was kind enough to give him a haircut. He did okay, considering. I'm sure it was easier for him that it was for her. He was a wiggle worm. But the haircut looks great! Thanks, Darlene!!
Julie and Dave - we went to dinner at their house one night and this was the first time we met Dave, Julie's new husband. He's great! Kayden found all the sprinklers they had (a new interest) and didn't take long to make himself at home there and climb right up in Dave's lap to get closer to the radio to play his Primary songs. I hope he didn't mind. :) Then Julie ran and played with Kayden, which always gets high marks in his book. Thanks, Julie and Dave!
James - this was all new to him because James is incredible on the piano. James just pounded out songs and Kayden had a blast sitting right there next to him and singing along wit him. I got a couple videos on my phone of this, and Kayden just sits and plays these over and over all day long. He asks me if he can watch the "new James video" and hands me my phone. Thanks, James!
Needless to say, so many new friends. Thanks for the great trip and the wonderful memories, along with all the new BFF's!!
And.....it's all your turns to visit down here now. Miss everyone!!!
