A Trip to Dallas

My sister and her two kids, Lauren and Brett, visited from Las Vegas the first week of June, so absolutely Ruby and I made a trip to Grandmama and Papa Jim's house. We had such a blast! It was so great for Ruby to spend some quality time with her Aunt Jennifer and her cousins. LaLa (Lauren) was such a little "big sister", dressing Ruby up and playing with her, sharing her lemon chill at the zoo, and even buying her a little present. So precious. Brett was impressed with Ruby's new animal sounds and vocabulary skills, and his was the first name she said when we arrived. We had many adventures: swimming, eating, going for walks with the dog, shopping, eating, going to the zoo, playing in water fountains, and eating and shopping some more! We can't wait for our next visit; we miss you all dearly!

Making music with a wooden cup and a pewter bowl...

Who knew it could be so fun?

Lookin' coooool at the pool

Awwww, kisses.

Those curls kill me!

This big guy walked right over to us!

Can you see the giant croc?

Chillin' out

She was a bit weary of the sculptures.

Making friends: "Hey, nice shoes!"
