Kids' Vacation in Texas

We went to my parents for almost 3 weeks. Cameron and I then drove for two days to get both our cars out to California. The kids stayed with my parents for 12 days while we got moved in, settled... and squeezed in two trips to Vegas! It was great to have some time to ourselves and know the kids were in great hands. Here's some pictures from our visit and the kids extended stay.

We had lots of playtime in the pool. Anna loved the water. 

 My sweet goddaughter!!

 Dallie's movie night

 We had a really fun playdate at Emily's house one Friday

 And another great playdate at the indoor soccer field

 

Uncle Nick, best godfather ever, took Presley and Liam on a precious date to Olive Garden.  He even let her pack a purse and picked her up at the door, showing her just how she needs to be treated. It was so sweet and thoughtful of him and I know it completely made her day!! Thankful for such a great godfather to our first-born.

 Grandma Debbie even pitched in to help while we were driving to California. Debbie, Mal and Emmy managed to get all 6 kids to storytime and dance class on time. They even stopped to feed the ducks and have a picnic! Truly amazing!

 Liam is a great babysitter and entertains the babies so well for us!

 I got to squeeze in several dinners out with my mommy friends and even a shopping trip with my personal shopper, Meha, before we left town. So glad to get this extra time with my siblings.

I know the kids had an awesome vacation and we are so appreciative to our families for helping out with the kids so we could make the long drive to California and get a house before the kids arrived. We are here and settled so I'll start posting some pictures of our new place and our new activities!
