Out to the country we go........

On our last full day in Texas we went to Lovelady, that is in the “country” to visit Derek’s Papa. It was a 2 hour drive with the family, but we left early and got there safe. On the drive we saw the statue of Sam Houston looking like a pimp with his cane and all. Along the way we stopped at a small place and had some breakfast.

Papa fell in love with Dylan and wanted us to leave him there. I am sure that Dylan would have loved to live there in the country with him. Hunting, fishing and being outdoors everyday, but I could not leave him there yet.

Ashley would love it there too the time we there she was in her element. She was playing in the dirt and wanted to ride the 4 wheeler but none of knew how to work it and good thing because Ashley can be accident prone and that is all we needed was to have something happen. She saw a dog that was on his last leg and wanted to play with the diseased dog, but we stopped her before she could.

Papa told Dylan they would go down to the corner store(probably the only store) to get ice cream and then they would go hunt some coon’s. He told us that when we came back that he would not even know who we were. Sorry Papa next time you can have the little booger. It was nice to get to see Derek’s family but I think we were all ready to get back to Cali. So we headed back to Nina’s to get our 6 bags packed for our trip home the early the next morning.

The whole family was exhausted by the end of the day. Dylan was teething and we to bed early with his big mama and Ashley went to do some last minute shopping with Derek and I. But when we got back from our shopping she fell out almost immediately.
