Labor Free Weekend in Dallas





For Labor Day, Jared and I took the four and a half hour drive up to Dallas, Texas. Actually, up a little farther to Royce City. Jared's Uncle Carl, Aunt Amber and three cousins live there. We love going to visit, and this time was no exception. I told Jared it is the most fun I have had in one weekend in a long time. It was literally non-stop action. But had it's perfect balance of relaxation.

We arrived about 11:30 on Friday evening to a little boy who was "waiting up for us," as you can see in the picture above (bless his heart), and stayed up talking until about 2:00. Saturday, J and I slept in a little and we all went to our cousin, Carson's, football game. They played well and it was fun to watch. Afterwards, we went home to cool down and freshen up and then headed out to the Harbor (which is like a mini-Riverwalk). It was a really nice evening. We ate at Ruby Tuesdays and walked along the pier that had a little light house at the end. The weather was great! Then we went home and ended the evening watching movies. After an Amazing church worship service Sunday morning, we went to cheer the guys on at Paintball (they were celebrating Carson's birthday). We left them to their paintball wars after about 45 minutes, then Amber, Andrew and I went swimming at Amber's aunt's house. It was very relaxing. That evening, we met the guys at home and watched a comedy followed by a horror flick. So horrific that yup, I could barely get to sleep. Has anyone seen "The Hills Have Eyes?" Oh dear, it is scary! But I LOVE scary movies. Then on Monday, before we left, we took their four wheelers out. Now, I have been on a four wheeler before, but I have never been FOUR WHEELING, if you know what I mean. On trails, up and down, racing, mud flying, almost tipping over, four wheeling. It was awesome!!!

We can't wait to go visit again! :)
