Family Vaca's are the Best!

It's officially summer! It's hot, for sure, so what else is there to do but go on vacation and be hot somewhere else! We spent a great weekend in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area where we met up with our dear friends from Hot Springs, the McAdams! They once lived here so close and in touch but with a job offer they moved only 13 hours away, very sad! So now once a year, at least, we meet up and this just happened to be the spot right in the middle! Aves (21 months) and Malachi (20 months) were just so sweet to each other. They started off with several hugs, more so from Aves, and she even snuck in a kiss which landed on his cheak as he tried to get away. He was such a cutie and taught Avery what the elephant, monkey and dog say, thank you Malachi! (She's actually making the elephant and monkey noises as I write!) We tried teaching him what donkey's say since that's her favorite, but I don't think he was interested at the time! The kids got to swim and then off to the Ft Worth Zoo to meet up with my brother and nephew, Jett (13 months)! Jett welcomed us with a lap and carseat full of barf! Eww (as Aves would say)! It must have been due to the car ride or just teething cause he was perfectly fine the rest of the morning! The kids seemed to like the zoo and would point here and there to different things. They're a bit young to fully enjoy it all, we know, but we all had a great time there with our kiddos!

This is her tickle face she makes while tickling belly buttons and saying "deedeedee!" Malachi doesn't seem to think it tickles!

Are you ready to swim? Why, are you ready to swim? Are you going to share that turtle?

Closest thing to a group shot! Hollee I will have to send you this one!

Those rhinos sure are neat but boy do they stink!

Like father, like son!

Admiring the kangaroos!

A sweet good bye hug for Malachi!


I'm not quite sure what she's doing, but it looked cute from this angle!

These are the best kinds of pictures!
