Taking Flight

I fly through the air with the greatest of ease.

Remembering The Alamo

I thought I better share a few of my favorite photos from our trip to Texas over New Years. We spent a few days in Dallas, then a few days in Houston with the cousins, and then a few more days in Dallas. We got to see a lot more of Texas again this time, and the weather was amazing. Although Mom wasn't used to the heat, so she spent the whole vacation sweating.

We went to Frisco, TX to the Holiday Festival, and Dad bought me some pickle flavored popcorn from Love, Peace, and Popcorn. Believe it or not, it was YUMMY and I ate the whole bag. Then we went to dinner at a restaurant called Celebration. Daddy used to go there all the time as a kid. Mom ate fried okra for the first time. I was in a great mood and had a lovely time.

We got to Houston on New Year's Eve, and all the "adults" went to dinner and had bananas foster. Wow, what a flame! Then everyone came home and hung out and wore silly hats. On New Year's day we opened Christmas presents, and uncle Larry set off fireworks! I was a little nervous about that, but we all made it out alive.

Here are a few shots of me and my cousins. All Mom wanted was one nice picture of all of us. But no one felt like cooperating. I love being goofy with my cousins!

Texas Day 1

We arrived safe and sound in TX yesterday. The flight was great, and if I do say so myself, I was great! I didn't cry once, and I loved looking out the windows and playing peekaboo with the kids in the seat in front of me. I think we'll be doing a lot more of this flying thing.

When we got to Fort Worth, Gammy and Grandpa took us to the Fort Worth Stock Yards, aka Cow Town. We saw an amazing parade with long horn cows in it, and then we got our picture taken with a real horse with a real cowboy (he thinks he's John Wayne.)

Then we did a little shopping and went to dinner at a place called Booger Red's Saloon. Where they specialize in Buffalo Butt beer. Here's why they call it Buffalo Butt. And this is what it looks like on the other side of that wall! But there were a few things that concerned me. Like I'm not sure if this is up to code or not. And I wonder what this beer tastes like? They had super cool saddles as barstools. Its Daddy's dream to have these at his bar some day, even Mama was down with it.

Today we're doing a little more last minute shopping, and then steaks for dinner! Yay! We're off to Houston to see the rest of the fam tomorrow, so stay tuned.

Eat and run,

PS - Special shout out to G&GE celebrating their 38th anniversary! That many years is way beyond my brain works. See you next week, and I love you!
