Stop #5 - Wylie

We were excited to see Barrett's cousins and Aunt Kelly and Uncle Shane! Barrett loved hanging out with his cousins and watching them run around and play - they were highly entertaining! (I hope Barrett took lots of notes about potty training...the twins really seem to have it figured out!) And, Carson and Avery loved seeing Barrett too - it was really fun to watch them all interact. I really wish we could see them more often, so I am so grateful we got to spend as much time with them as we did!

Barrett got all set up to eat some lunch, and the twins wanted to play too!! They ran over, got their trays, and then sat down to join him! :-) (Please notice Carson's awesome "cheese" face...I love it!)

Cheese!!

Carson was nice enough to share his sister's swing with Barrett. :-)

Look how big and grown up he looks!

We took a walk to the lake with Uncle Shane, Carson, and Avery to feed the ducks.

Uncle Shane threw some bread in front of us so that the ducks would come over and see Barrett. He loved watching them!

Hanging out with Avery, eating some grass...

On Monday, we took a trip the Arboretum to see the flowers. This is the only picture I got where the twins weren't accidentally choking Barrett - they were a little eager to put their arms around his neck!

Cousin Avery and Barrett hanging out in the tulips!

SO cute!!

Such pretty flowers :)

No one was thrilled about this picture, but I still think it's pretty cute...

By this point, the only happy kid was Avery. (It was our fault, really, since it took us longer to get three carseats into one car than we thought it would, so we were late in leaving the house that morning...) Barrett was hot and tired, and Carson did not want to sit still any more. We packed two crying, unhappy boys into the stroller to leave. Once in the car, Barrett fell asleep immediately, and Carson calmed down once he had his paci. Then, it was Avery's turn for an epic meltdown. (I have a lot to learn from Kelly - she has great techniques and amazing patience!!) Needless to say, it was NAPTIME when we got home!! 

Cousins in the bluebonnets!

Kelly knew a FANTASTIC place to go and take pictures in the bluebonnets. It was a huge field on a quiet road, and it was absolutely perfect! We made a trip out there on Tuesday after the twins got out of school.  We went to my favorite yogurt place for a quick snack and then headed out to the bluebonnets. It was so beautiful! Barrett mainly tried to eat the flowers the whole time, though. He didn't quite grasp the whole concept of what we were doing... :)

This is one of my favorites!

Barrett is now a true Texas kid. He has pictures in the bluebonnets. :-)

After several fun days at Shane and Kelly's house, we packed up and headed south to visit my parents' new house in Montgomery!
