Relaxing in Muleshoe

Last week, Kenna and Dane spent some time with my parents in Muleshoe while Daniel and I both stayed home to work. When Saturday rolled around, we headed that way to have a little "mini-vacation" before bringing the kids back home. The last several times we have made a trip to my parents', it has always been for some event....a wedding, birthday, shower, holiday, etc. It was SOOO nice to be able to go for an extended time with absolutely nothing to do but enjoy each other's company! :)

Abbye and Anson (and their parents) did come to play for two of the days we were there. All of the cousins had a blast playing on the back porch in their swimming pool. They even had fun dodging the occasional shower.....

....from Aunt Kyla who armed herself with the water hose (smart woman)!

Dane found his new best friend in his Poppy on this trip. Dane followed him around everywhere just waiting to be picked up! I walked into church this morning holding Dane and had to keep him from diving out of my arms to chase after the tall, bald man who was about 20 feet ahead of us. I had the unlucky job of convincing him that was not Poppy!

We stayed for 4 nights before making the journey home. It was so nice!

Of course, true to form, my children did not sleep in the car on the way home (well, to be entirely truthful, Dane slept for about 30 min). He had more fun trying to pour all of the cheerios and goldfish out of his snack trap. Fun times!!

It was a wonderful long weekend away and we can't wait for the next trip!
