TX4 - Kayaking

Opa and Nana took us kayaking/canoeing.  Bo and Sam got a little bored by the lack of excitement but it was an absolute beautiful day.  Max loved "fishing" off of Opa's kayak with a string and had a blast.  I loved the sun and the quiet and being out on the water as a family.  I just wish we could have done it more.

TX1 - Pecans

One of Sam & Max's favorite things to do while we were at Opa & Nana's was helping Opa pick up pecans. 

 

 

We even got to help Nana gather and record data about the pecan trees that my Opa planted. 

Opa & Nana's Visit

It may have been a quick 5 days but it was a fun 5 days.  I just wish it could have been longer.  In true grandparent form, they came with presents.  And this time it was Duplo Lego's.  The boys' favorite.  They played with them every day Opa and Nana were here and have honestly played with them every day since.

Dad has always been really great with the boys and this trip was no different.  He REALLY bonded with them.  I'm sure some of it is has to do with the fact that the boys are older but a lot of it comes down to the fact that Opa is big and cuddly and uber patient.    

Dad/Opa also made a couple of loaves of Opa-bread while he was here which was awesome.  I probably ate more bread in the last week than I have in the last 2 months.  Thanks Dad.

It was cool and rainy for the majority of the time they were here and while it was a nice break from the hottest summer on record they were having in Texas, it was annoying for me.  So when the sun poke through one day, we decided to take advantage and head up river for the afternoon. 

 Thankfully the sun came out again on their last day here.  We played outside, walked around downtown, went to the Monday night market and really enjoyed the day.  It was a great way to end their visit, even though I didn't want it to end at all.
