When Auntie Julia Came to Visit.

While Matt was gone to Indonesia, Julia took time off work to come and keep us company over Easter, and Lincoln's Birthday. We went to a million restaurants and celebrated Lincoln's birthday and every one of them. Lincoln's birthday turned out to be a week long. She wasn't here for long, so we made the most of her time and saw everything possible. Wore the kids right out.

First stop... Pappasittos for fajitas, of course. Gotta have some Tex Mex.

Thanks Julia and Laura!!

Stop 2, Dollar Day at the Horse Races of course. 

Scoping out the prospects, getting ready to place their bets.

Little tiny Hispanic jockeys as far as the eye could see. 

We dressed up a little, but it turned out cutoffs and tattoos were the dress code. Shoulda known. I thought we'd be the classless ones without big hats and white gloves like on Mary Poppins.

Happy Easter!!

Peep!

Urkel.

Watchin' shows in their undies while Julia irons their Sunday clothes for me.

Hit Galveston:

Life of a disobedient dog... tethered to a stroller.

Terrible, blurry photos. You get the idea.

Dancing to the music.

Surfs up.

Rented this bad boy.

One at the beach.

Went throught McD's drive thru for some ice cream.

Not a good idea.

Dolphin tour in Galveston Bay!!

Snuggles

Pelicans

Looking really hard for those dolphins. Saw a few.

Overprotective mom made them were life jackets. Sue me.

Hot day at the zoo. 

The Rhinos thought it was hot too!

Long, hot bike ride.

We love you, Julia!!! Glad you came to visit us!!
