Camp Nelson and Grammy & Gramps

The kids spent two weeks with both sets of grandparents in Texas.  They started off with the Nelson side in Plano participating in things like: feeding horses, riding the DART to visit the Dallas World Aquarium, going to the movies to see Mr. Poppers Penguins, painting birdhouses, bowling, shopping, Dave & Busters, and swimming every day.  Xavi was thrilled to buy a shark's tooth from DWA!  They were also able to visit their cousin Parker and visit with aunts Kim and Kelly.  

I flew in and was picked up by my kids and parents.  Our week was spent doing things like:  watching Wild Ocean at the Omni IMAX in Fort Worth, going to see Harry Potter with Gramps and Uncle Eric, visiting the Farmers Market for fruits and veggies, watching home movies which entertained them immensely, reading Bible stories, visiting Lifeway for books and music, having lunch at On the Border, and visiting great-aunts, great-uncles, and great-grandmothers; which resulted in receiving a nice stash of cash.  Mimi even included a framed picture of butterflies from Brazil for Angela and inscribed a sweet note to Lizet in a Baptist hymnal which Lizet has promised to learn "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" for Mimi.  We also played several games of Chicken Foot and the kids got to see where Gramps teaches English.  The minute we arrived however, Lizet received a mani/pedi from Grammy.  I couldn't believe Grammy was okay doing that at 11 p.m., but she did! Beautiful taupes and mauves look so pretty against Hispanic skin.
