Lydia's First Plane Ride and Trip Outside Texas - Yikes!!!

We took Lydia on her first plane ride to Peoria, IL for Blair's cousin's wedding.  She did pretty good on the plane, despite the no napping at all that entire day, kicking the seat in front of her, wanting to get out, and the whining, crying and screaming. Ha!

We had a 3 hour lay over and so we found a kids play area where all the girls could entertain themselves in the airport.  Charlotte and Lydia love playing together.

At our hotel they had a very tempting luggage cart that we couldn't keep the girls off of.

Here they are at the Peoria, IL zoo with Honey.  They loved the monkeys!

All the cousins together watching the lions.

And taking a break with a drink and snack at the zoo.

Blair's Uncle's house had a really cool tree house.  Blair looks a little creepy in the background watching Lydia...safety first though.

Philadelphia Trip - New Niece!

Mary and I headed to Philadelphia to meet our new niece, Kathleen "Kate" Mae!  She is so sweet and cute and was on her best behavior for her Aunts.  We had so much fun playing with Sam and spending some quality Aunt time with him.  We played outside for the entire weekend and it was so nice to be in great weather and just relax with Paul and the family.  

Future Horse Rider??

We spent Memorial Day in Dallas with Mary, Brendan and Huckleberry!  We had a great time and a full house.  Not only was Mary, Brendan, Blair, Lisa and Lydia there, but there were also 3 dogs!  Huckleberry, Harley and we watched my cousin's dog.
Apparently Lydia is practicing becoming a horse rider.  There was a time we couldn't keep her off of Huckleberry and Harley.  They were the greatest during this short period and just let her climb on their backs...quite funny.
