Another Trip to Texas

We spent the last week in Texas... again.  Honestly, I don't know why we don't just move there... it would definitely cut travel time.  We headed down there for ACL Music Festival (more on that later) and to tackle the huge task of going through one of the storage buildings that has been collecting dust (among other things) for over 7 years now.  I have taken a sampling of photos from our trip to share with you... Enjoy!


When Andrew and I got tired of driving, Emily volunteered to help pick up some of the slack.  It wasn't a total break though, since someone still had to be in charge of the pedals.  Don't worry, we made sure we had her seatbelt on before we left the parking lot.


On our way down, we made a stop at Kerith's house in San Antonio.  We stop by to see Kerith and Cody everytime we make our way down, but we need to plan a trip to spend more time with them next time.



Casandra and Andrew taking a look at the task at hand... we cleaned out almost 2/3 of the storage building by the end of our three days there.  We also managed to make it out of there with $800... which Casandra made us share with her... I guess she deserved it after all of the work she did.



Another room of mess...




Unfortunately, I forgot to take after photos, so you will just have to imagine the rooms without so much stuff.  Aren't you jealous that you don't get to have such fun vacations?  I think this is one instance where I would have preferred  to be at work.

While we were in Beeville, we also got to see Casandra and Matt's house.  It was so adorable... I would share photos from the rest of our time there, but I apparently forgot how to use my camera because I don't have any more pictures.

After we left Beeville, we stopped in La Grange to spend an evening with Aunt April and Uncle Harley.  They finally got to meet their "little princess," Emily.  



After we got to their house, we decided to go on a nature walk... on our walk around the pond, we found a crawdad... and we saw about a million frogs.

Emily enjoying another of her favorite past times... eating Andrew's hair.  If you happen to notice that Andrew's hair is thinner the next time you see him, it's probably thanks to Emily.

We had such a lovely time there.  I'm glad we made time to stop by and spend a night with them.  I remember going to their house when I was little, and it was awesome to take Emily there to enjoy it too.
