Family Time

This weekend we loaded up the Sequoia for another road trip. This time we were headed to East Texas for the Watson family reunion with a layover in Dike to visit Ma Ma Doris. This time we hit the road at 10:00 Friday morning and made it to our first destination just after 6:00 pm. Hayes slept much better since she was able to eat dinner, play and have bath time. Hatcher slept like a champ as always!

Saturday morning we went farther east to O'Farrell, Texas for the Watson Family Reunion and after it was over began our journey back home around 3:30. We pulled into our casa on Stonewall Bend just after Midnight. The kids were exhausted. I had both kiddos asleep by 12:30 and Hatcher woke up at 8:30 to eat and then slept until 11:30 this morning. Hayes didn't make a peep until she woke up at 10:40 this morning. We enjoyed our weekend with family and hope to see everyone again sooner rather than later. We love you all!

Saturday morning Hayes was giving us a little hint of the mischievous side that would emerge later after two straight days with no nap and lots of time in the car (and she doesn't sleep in the car).

Hayes enjoyed her play dough. Here she is entertaining Aunt Cindy, Great Aunt Betty and cousin Tyler (AKA Tatoo as Hayes calls him!).

Aunt Cindy worked her magic on our sweet little Hatcher.

Uncle Greg and cousin Tyler made Hayes a pink hat.

Mingie and Hatcher.

Precious! We don't think he favors Hayes as much anymore.

Hatcher and his Great Aunt Linda. Linda always does such a nice job organizing the reunion. Thanks Aunt Linda!!

Great Grandmother Ma Ma Mae and little Hatch.

So very alert!

Hatcher and his Great, Great Aunt Charlie. This was Charlie's first time to meet Hatch. Hatcher had already met everyone else a few weeks ago when we were at McCamey. I didn't take pictures as it just didn't seem quite appropriate.
