Family Visit

 We are having a nice break from regular life right now. ArtGuy's parents are visiting. We are just relaxing and having fun. The weather has cooperated beautifully. The Mad Toddler has not cooperated beautifully in any sense of the word! He is in a......challenging phase of life right now.

One of the nice things about having visitors is finding things to do - touristy things, if you will. Things we may not think about doing normally. You think outside the box when you have out-of-town guests. This visit we went to the nearby town of Grapevine, Texas and took an old train to the Ft. Worth Stockyards.

In Ft. Worth there was a family-friendly Irish festival going on, so that was fun. Crowded, but fun. The day was very long, but an experience we never had, and was a neat thing to do with my in-laws.

Cattle drive!

Yesterday was Romeo's 9th birthday. Waaaah! My sweet, sunny lil' guy is getting so big. He was flying high all day. Needless to say, he thoroughly enjoyed his special day!

Happy birthday, Romeo!
