February 2010

We just got back from our big trip to Big Lake. Although the trip was cut short due to a huge snow storm in Dallas, we had a great time! We took public transportation to the airport so Patrick was able to ride a bus, train and airplane all in one day! It was so nice of Aunt Janet and Uncle Charles to drive us to Big Lake from San Antonio. Uncle Pat, Aunt Denise, Christina and Stephanie also came out to visit. It was really great to see everyone.

Patrick was so excited to see Paw Paw's cows, he is still asking to go to the ranch. Meme and Paw Paw bought him his first cowboy hat and when he wears it he calls himself "Cowboy Small" which is one of his favorite books.

Meme and Paw Paw's neighbor let us borrow his "mule" to drive around town. Patrick told his teachers that he rode in a dump truck. Some other highlights of the trip for Patrick were Meme's snickerdoodle cookies and Daddy's cool trucks and toys from his childhood. They really don't make toys like they used to. We're getting back into our routine, but can't wait to head back to Texas.
