A Long, but Quick Trip!

We had a full and confusing weekend with so many families involved and lots of parties happening, and we had to attend them all....regardless of where they were! We started out at the Hyatt Hill Country for Summer Visit #4. We also called this our Guilt Free Trip, as this way, we won't feel guilty when we are in Jamaica, and the kids aren't! I had cousins in from California and Lake Jackson,that are on my mother's side, so my brother and parents, and us met up in San Antonio to see our long lost cousins, that we only get to see once every 2 years or so!

Braden hooked up with some ladies, and showed them his moves of playing "toss the ball!" Total strangers that were so nice to play the boring game of toss the ball in a triangle of people! Oh Boy!

We had a blast in the pool, which was a little cold the day after remnents of Dolly came through!

Grandma & Grandpa let us play in the hottub to warm us up!

Then we ran into a friend from school, and no trip is complete if Mommy didn't run into someone she knew, and I did! Again, another Trinity family!

Waiting on Valet on the Rockers, just relaxin'.... and taking off shoes!

We had fun with the Beach area! Baryn has never felt sand on her toes! Braden didn't much care for his hands sandy!

Day two in the COLD pool!

We made a call to our friends Devin & Mare and they brought their kiddos over to play with us for a little while! It was so good to see them and to get the kids together, since we only see them once or twice a year! Maia is one month younger than Baryn, and Sawyer is 2 years behind Bee Dub!

After Partying in San Antonio for a day and a half, and seeing about 50 cousins over at my godparent's house, my parents brought Baryn back to Midland and then the 3 of us went on to Port Neches to surprise Bart (Chad's old Brother) for his Surprise 40th Birthday! This was a lot of fun, but a long 5 hour drive from San Antone to be there for 15 hours! It was nice though! We left Little Man there to stay with Sassy, his 5 cousins and his Aunt Jeannine and Uncle Bart for the week. Sylvia and Bee Dub will return at the end of the week to Grandpa David's farm and then home in time for our arrival on August 6th!

The Older Brown Brother bought a ranch recently, and then added some horses! Before the long 10 hour drive back to Midland, we made a side trip to the ranch to see Bee Dub ride a horse for the 1st time! It was great, though he was a little timid! Uncle Bart led him around for quite a while! They will be spending time there this week, no doubt with 3 horses! We brought back Poppy in place of Braden staying there, so we all got back tired yesterday!

We sure did have a lot of fun, in such a short period of Friday - Sunday. Alot of miles on my car! I am pooped, and now I have to get ready for Jamaica on Wednesday! I sure am missing Bee Dub already, and I still have 10 more days til we see him! Baby Sister will be with Mom & Dad, across the way!

I can't wait to write about that trip! Have a great week and a half!
