Jeremy had business all over Europe for 12 days in May, so I decided to brave traveling alone with the boys so that we could escape to somewhere sunny and where I wouldn't be quite so lonely without him! There really isn't a better time of the year to travel to Texas than May, so it was perfect timing.We flew into Corpus to visit my parents for a week. It was not fun having to change planes, running with two little ones through the Houston airport, but we managed to make our connection just in time. The excitement and all of the running was a good energy burn for Colden before sitting on another plane for 45 minutes. Blakely was unusually chill... that was a huge answer to prayer!
We had a wonderful visit with my parents... very relaxed and not busy. It was kinda like being home, but better since there was SUN, a pool in the backyard and a golf course too! Colden was in heaven. All three of us loved the Yacht club too and I think we bored my dad by eating there more than once in a week :) Mom and I walked every morning with the boys and I dove for dive sticksat the bottom of the pool a million times for Colden. He was so good on his own jumping in the pool (with a live preserver of course).
We love the Texas State Acquarium... the Dolphin show is as good as Sea World's.
Colden went for a ride in Paca's "fast car".
Colden and Paca also spent some quality time on the golf course... Colden is seriously good!
Colden has been thanking me at least a couple times a week for taking him to the fountain at Nana's house (still... weeks later) Blakely loved it too!
Of course, we had some Chic-Fil-A while we were there! Colden spotted the advertising for ice cream and chose to turn in his toy in favor of an ice cream cone which he also has been talking about for weeks!
My favorite evenings were the one when dad made me a black cow and watched a mexican american movie that mom rented thinking it was a sequel to the Devil Wears Prada... and the one where we sat outside with a glass of wine and chatted for a couple hours. Jeremy really missed out that night! thanks Mom & Dad for such a nice visit.

Ya'll are just a bunch of cuties.
Hi there stranger!!!! I have been waiting for you to blog!! The boys look precious, as always. We just discovered puddle jumpers at the gym pool here. I love them....gracyn is all over the place with it. So winter in Cincy may kill me, but I have to say, I am loving being back to a hot humid summer!! The girls and I are living at the pool. I missed that so much in Denver. Glad you got to get some warm water days in Texas!!!
So glad you had a nice visit. We never made it to those fountains but bet kids would have loved them too.. I know Lydia and Henry did. How did you get to manage walking every morning? Mine were in pool before breakfast even started!!!
I think it's so cute Cole had an ice cream cone at chic-fil-a. What a cutie!
