Road Trip

David took his first road trip out of the state this past week. Thursday we left for Texarkana. Greg's extended family lives there and we wanted David to meet his cousins and Aunts and Uncles. Mimi and Grandpa Ed came along as well as Cousin Kayla.
We left later than we had hoped Thursday night; here are Grandpa Ed and Kayla watching a movie...

On the state line between Arkansas and Texas, David is standing in two different states; Can you see the line?!



It was hot on our tour of Texarkana, so we stopped for snowcones. David was able to sit out of his car seat for a few minutes while we ate - he loved it!

David decided his toes tasted better than a snowcone

We had a great time visiting and introducing David to all of his relatives. Thanks to Gregs Aunts who went to so much trouble to make our visit so enjoyable!
