Way Down South in Texas

We just returned from a lovely spring break getaway in Dallas, Texas, where we visited aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course, Didi, who couldn't miss out on a chance to see her little granddaughter :)

What do you do in Texas in the Spring?

Well, for one thing, go take pictures by the blue bonnets. It's all the rage! (Seriously. There were lines of vehicles illegally parked along the highway while couples and families took pictures.) So, we couldn't pass up this popular and pretty pastime.

 Zoë fit right in - a little southern (blue) belle!

Best family picture of the trip. We never did succeed in getting all three of us looking at the camera...

 Brooke (Zac's cousin) and her precious little girl Rebecca

Zac's Aunt (Zoë's Auntie) Gloria with her daughter Brooke and granddaughter Rebecca

 
The happy grandmas!

 Didi with Zoë

My little goofball!


Another thing to do in Texas when it is 92 on April 1st is go swimming in your backyard pool. Oh. Yeah. And hang out with more cousins!

 Check out those babies in bathing suits! Little Andie, Rebecca and Zoë


 Zoë absolutely loved this pool - waterfalls and all

 Zoë and Andie "hitting" it off...quite literally :P

Swinging with Hallie

And finally, after surviving tornado chaos, go to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. It's gorgeous!

Daddy and his girl

 New mommas stick together

 Chillin' by the waterwall


Giant spitting frog! Zoë seems a little frightened...
or maybe just not happy about the water sprinkling on her

 Lovely sisters, lovely Zoë and lovely Azaleas!

And then there's Zac... :)

There you have it - our trip to Texas and back. What a great time! (You know, besides fighting a nasty virus and watching breaking news about tornadoes and realizing they weren't very far away :s) But really, we had a wonderful time with our loved ones. And now it is time for bed and getting back in the swing of things.

G'night y'all!
