Texas trip

In July, we traveled down to Fort Worth, Texas to visit Jim's brother Dan and his family. It was our first big trek as a family and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. We traveled down with Jim's brother Nate, which was a great help. The kids took turns riding with Nate and Jenny and helping entertain Lincoln. It gave us a little extra elbow room in the van and helped everyone get along better. Our trip down was a bit eventful as Maddie got sick the first night. The next evening Ellie got sick, so needless to say I was very happy when we finally arrived at Dan's house. We were so excited to spend time with the Texas cousins and the trip was well worth the drive. We went to the Fort Worth Zoo, a jump house, the Bureau of Engraving, and enjoyed cooling off in the neighborhood pool. We really enjoyed Dan and Shelby's hospitality and loved spending time getting to know the cousins.
