Texas

Carly and I went to College Station, TX this week to visit my sister Kari and her family. We had an amazing time.  College Station is such a nice city.  I fell in love with it while we were there. It was so nice to wear shorts and a T-shirt and bask in the warmth of Texas.  I couldn’t get over finally being able to see Carly’s cute little chubby arms!

Carly and Ethan (2 years) had fun playing with each other (for the most part).  They got pretty protective of the toys they were playing with.  One minute they’d be fighting and the next they’d be hugging and giggling. 

My bro-in-law Aaron is going to graduate school at Texas A&M so Kari showed me the gigantic campus and we stopped at the Bonfire Memorial.  When I unstrapped Carly from her stroller she went crazy running everywhere she could.  I realized it was the first time she'd been able to run around outside.  She started walking when it was pretty cold outside in WI.  

Oh how I loved that green grass!

Carly played on a playground for her first time too! 

One of the days we went to a children’s museum.  There were a bunch a fun hands-on activities for the kids, even a lot for kids Carly’s age. 

This pic sums up Carly and Ethan’s relationship:

Carly loved playing with Uncle Aaron.  She constantly wanted to sit on his lap and be held by him.

Thank you Kari and Aaron for such a fun week!
