road trip

our little family of six went on a road trip during Thanksgiving week, our destination was Austin, TX.  round trip we went a little over 3,100 miles in seven days.  that's a lot of miles for anyone, especially when you have four kids aged 10 months to seven years.  to our surprise, the kids actually great most of the time {thank you dvd player for your help at times}.

our family was able to visit with some friends that we haven't seen in a ver long time.  our friends have two children of their own.  all of the children warmed up to eachother fairly easily and ended up having a fun time together.  the S family also had us over for Thanksgiving.  it was so nice to visit and just spend time with someone we knew while we were out of town.

 

 

the S family introduced us to The Salt Lick.  as you can see, it was just plain awesome!

 

this Thanksgiving also marked the Mr and I being married for nine years.  nine years filled with many changes, ups and downs, highs and lows, everything in between...i wouldn't want to share my life, or build a family with anyone else.

 



it was fun visiting a new place, getting out of our normal routine, and all that comes with a little vacation.  and yes, it was hard getting back into that routine that i love so much.
