Abigail and Elena turn 2 in April so we decided to take one more more flight before we have to pay for their tickets. We headed down to Tyler, TX to visit Sarah's sister and her family. It was fun to all be together and the girls had a blast playing the whole time! We even went over to Dallas to visit friends and see our house. (Which just got put on the market for anyone looking to buy a house there). We really enjoyed being outside in the nice weather! When we arrived all three girls had a croup cough and Abigail & Elena had strep. :( Before we left the Dr. said they would probably cough for a few weeks, but after only 2 days, moods were much improved and A&E had stopped coughing completely!!! Goes to show what a little warm weather and humidity can do. It was a great trip.
The Players were excellent hosts. Sherene showed us a lot of neat things in Tyler, and we also got to drive to Roch's work site and see the construction. Here are a lot of pictures from our trip, mostly of the girls. (Note: I don't label all the pictures, but if you're wondering who is who, Abigail is in purple and Elena is pink.)
Lots of playing outside!
