Abilene, Texas: Martin Family

Second Part of our Abilene trip we moved just a couple blocks away over to Honey and Pops' house to where cousins waited for Brady to play . . . . .

Day 1: Brady and I moved things over to Honey and Pops' house to stay for three nights.  BJ stayed over at his parents house to hang out with them a little more.  Brady, Dakota, and Stoney played and played in Honey's Giant playroom full of toys but the most fun were the toy tubs that turned into personalized swimming pools.  Brady got to celebrate her 3rd Birthday again with more presents - tap shoes, frilly socks, fairy costumes and a princess tent - and a pinata.  

This is a redneck cousin pool party west Texas style. 

An attempt at nap time that was not successful. 

Stoney and Brady getting mentally prepared for all the candy that Aunt Bethany filled the pinata with. 

Swing batter, batter . . . .

The princess castle took a beating. 

Dakota was the winner and sent the candy flying.

While Pops cooked the cousins decided to challenge the tree.  THE BEST climbing tree. 

Day 2:  Abilene is in water restrictions but you would never know by how much Brady played in the water. Trip to Nelson Splash for the kids to play in the water.  Met up with Irma Weatherford and her two beautiful kids (Olivia and Gabe).  After the fun we headed back to Honey's house for ice cream birthday cake!!  I so want one for my birthday!!!  After cake time the cousins played and kinda rested.  BJ and I went shopping for boots at Cavendars.  BJ found boots he wanted in about 10 minutes,  Happy Birthday, Anniversary, and Merry Christmas!!!! 

Run all that energy off.  Maybe take a nap!!!

Abilene  . . . nice addition to Nelson Park.  The Martin Cousins LOVED it!!!

Happy Birthday Brady!!  Ice Cream cake that BJ cut into the night before.  It was calling his name . . .

Yum!!!  Baskin Robins

Day 3:  Pops off day!! Pops, Brady, BJ and I went to visit Nana and Deedee.  I am so mad that I didnt get any pictures.  I was too worried about Brady breaking one of Nana glass things that were all at little hand level.  After Pops and BJ did the mini yard we all went and pick up Pop's boat.  I tried to convince him that he could bring it to Tuscaloosa where there are LOTS of lakes and leave it with us.  We would take really good care of it but he did not fall for it.  Nap on the couch while BJ and Pops fixed the fence.  Grilling and drinking!!!  Fun times while Brady played.  Last night at Honey and Pops house.  Everyone headed to Plano for Charlie's 2nd Birthday Party. 

 

Rest time . . .  kinda. 

  Love you very much Honey and Pops!!  We will see you soon!!!
