Hailey Grace and I did some traveling while Chris worked. He had a long stretch of days and hours so we decided to go to Texas for a visit. Poppy had been wanting us to come for a visit.
We started off early Wednesday morning with a stop in Sulphur Springs for lunch. Grandma Christine treated Hailey and I to lunch at Chili's and it was great. Uncle Ricky stopped by to say hi but left before we had the Molten cake that he recommended. It was wonderful but could have used another helper to eat it all. After lunch, we went to Tractor Supply and visited Aunt Jan. It was great to see her as well. We hated that we missed Laura, Leslie and David but hopefully we'll see them soon. We then went back to Grandma Christine's house so Hailey could eat and play and we could visit. It's always a great visit when stopping through.
Hailey fell asleep so we headed to Texarkana a little after three and luckily, she slept the whole way. We arrived, stopped by Poppy's office and then unloaded the car and showered. Everyone needs a shower after traveling! Dinner at Zapata's was great and we were in bed super early. The storms got us back up only an hour after heading to bed. Uncle John Davis, hailey and I played until they passed. Hailey Grace really enjoyed playing with Uncle John and can't wait to see him again soon.
On Thursday we woke to a hot humid and cloudy morning. All hopes of a pool day with Auntie Collins was thrown out the window. We dined at Ironwood on burgers and fries with Poppy and Auntie, rested and then went for a visit with Whit and Bobbie (Hailey's Great grandparents). What a nice time that was. Hailey played and enjoyed every minute of it. Mrs. Bobbie also gave Collins and I copies of paintings that she painted. If you didn't know, she is a WONDERFUL painter. I'll take pictures of them and put them on here. She should be famous! :) After the visit, we went and played with Mia. Hailey surprised her with all her thick red hair and her long, tall body. Bella (Collins' dog) just adores Hailey and Hailey loves to pester Bella. It's always a good laugh.
The rest of the time was playing with Poppy, Uncle John Davis, Mia and Auntie Collins. We did surprise Whit and Bobbie's friends at Zapata's on Friday night and they all enjoyed seeing Hailey. I ran into Timothy's and got to visit with Karley and Travis for a bit. Poppy and Hailey had a great time playing as well. He even gave her a bath in the sink! I bet it was a LONG time since the bath sink bath he gave. I'm sure I could go on and on about our wonderful visit.
Saturday morning, we played with Duke and Poppy at the lake and then went to play with Mia. Smokey Joe's BBQ for lunch and then we went to see the puppies. Hailey would LOVE an inside dog (SMALL, nonshedding dog) but daddy says we can play with Bella, Duke or the new dog Mia gets. It always seems we need another few days to see everyone.
Okay, I'll post some pictures now and write more later!
