Trip to Texas - Day 11 - Fairwells until next time!

Today we were headed back to Washington to see daddy! She was so excited, she really missed her daddy! We left that morning and went and got my Granny and my Aunt Sharon Tant; because they were also flying out that day to head to Big Spring; and so my mom took us all to the airport at the same time! We were two hours early, because we did not know how long it would take, and me being by myself with Riley I wanted to have plenty of time, and believe me we did!! LOL!! We had lunch at McDonald's and then we had to become very creative to keep little Miss Riley entertained until the airplane arrived! Then we had to have plenty to keep her entertained while we were on the airplane.....exhausting! She did a great job though..she is such a trooper!! It was funny though, when we got to Washington, I told her that we were going to go see daddy. She was so excited, and when everyone started getting off the plane, she started yelling 'Daddy, Daddy!' As if he was going to hear her and come and get her off the plane....it was cute! Then when we were walking out of the terminal, one of the guys that sat in front of us saw Scott, and he said 'you must be daddy, she has been calling for you!' It was sooo cute! When she saw him she just ran and jumped in his arms!! It was so sweet, she missed her daddy!!! We had a woderful visit to Texas, and enjoyed visiting all of you! Thank you so much for all of the fond memories, and see ya soon, hopefully mid October! Love yall!!

Headed to the airport lookin cool!



Since we got to the airport two hours before our flight left, we played musical chairs a lot!



Then we watch all the planes coming in and out!!


Then we danced a little!

Played with our dragon that we got in our McDonald's happy meal!

Trip to Texas - Day 10 - Mommy & Me Pool Party

Today was such a fun day! My mom and I had a Mommy and Me pool party at her house for some of my friends and family, so that I could see them before we went back to Washington! My neighbor Aubree and Riley's best friend Jayda, my cousin Danyel and her two kids Eli and Mia, my friend Rachael and her son Jake, my friend from high school Jamie and her daughter Braeley, my sister Angela and my nephew Allen, my Aunt Sharon Tant from Big Spring, my Granny, my Aunt Sharon Kemp and her daughter in law Amanda and her son Everett, and my Aunt Claudia all came to the pool party! It was a packed party, but it was so much fun! We all had a great time swimming, eating, talking, and playing together! It was so awesome to get to see everyone at once, since I would not have been able to see them all otherwise! For lunch my mom and I made homemade corn dogs, and then we had fruit, Popsicles, cookies, and chips and dips to go along with it! We had SO MUCH FOOD!!! It was yummy! Thanks everyone for coming and spending the day with us, we had a great time and enjoyed seeing you all while we were down to visit! See you when we get back! Miss you all!!

Trip to Texas - Day 9 - Chillin on Sunday

This morning we woke up at Nana and Bopa's house, and Bopa took Riley to the donut store with him to get us all breakfast! She was so excited, and she got to sample some donut holes while they waited in line! Too Fun!! We also had a little Father's Day Celebration with Bopa that morning, and Riley helped him open his card and his present! She loves to open things!! Riley went to church with Nana and Bopa, and then we went to lunch at Chili's afterwards! It was yummy! There are no Chili's up here in Washington where we live! Then that afternoon we went back to my parents to chill out and relax for the rest of the evening! Riley enjoying swinging and sliding on Nana and Pappy's playground, and then she enjoyed some bubbles, and then stripped down and went swimming once again!!! She LOVES the water!!! It was a little more of a relaxing less active day than we have had so far! It was nice!!

Trip to Texas - Day 8 - Lake Livingston

Today we are going to Grandmommy and Grandaddy's in Onalaska to go out on Lake Livingston in Nana and Bopa's boat! Woohoo!! Riley is going to go tubing for the first time!! FUN!! Aunt Holly and Riley went tubing, and Riley liked it, but she kept saying 'No Pash!!! No Pash!!' They did not stay out long, because she did not like the splash!! We really had a great time going out in the boat cruising around and tubing! After that we went back to the docks, and went swimming in the lake! Then we had hamburgers and the girls took a nap! After they woke up from their nap, we decided that we would go out in the boat, IN OUR CLOTHES, and just cruise around and eat the homemade ice cream that Grandmommy and Grandaddy had made! We were not going swimming, and so we were not going to get wet at all! GREAT!! Not so much!! Bopa hit this HUGE wave, and all of us in the front of the boat got SOAKED!!! SO much for driving home in DRY clothes!!! LOL!! The ice cream was yummy though!! After cruising around, we went back to Grandmommy and Grandaddy's house, and Holly and the girls got ready to go back to their house, and Riley and I were going back to Nana and Bopa's for the night! We had a great time visiting everyone, and miss you all so much! It was so great to see you all and spend some time with yall while we were there!!! Sharesd many great memories together!!!

Trip to Texas - Day 7 - Water park

Woohoo! We get to go and see Nana, Bopa, Aunt Holly, Tatum, and Kenadie today!!! We are going to go have a pajama party this morning, and then this afternoon we are going to go to the water park in Conroe in the Candy Cane park! We had a great time playing, swimming, and visiting with family! There was a HUGE water slide that Riley loved to go down! Aunt Holly would take her to the top, and then let her go down, and I would catch her at the bottom. She LOVED it!! The second I got her off the slide she would look for her Aunt Holly and say "whee"..."side" and they would go again! I think she wore her Aunt Holly out! After the water park we went back to Nana and Bopa's house and Riley had a slumber party with her cousins! It was so much fun!!
