Texas ....for no reason

My mom has some great ideas sometimes.   She really wanted to stick it to the airline one more time before I turned two, and she started having to buy my plane tickets.   We took a trip to Texas for a whole week to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa Huffman.    My Aunt Catherine and Uncle Jared joined us for a day or two (they live there), and I was able to hang out with my awesome cousins.

Grocery cart fun with the lovely Maj-Lis (pronounced "My Lease" for you non-Swedish speakers out there)

Here we are testing the weight limit on Grandma's new porch swing.   Me and Mom and my three cousins Hudson, Tanner, Maj-Lis and Aunt Catherine.   New puppy Gretel and old puppy Woody wish they could join us.

 Grandma and Grandpa had the best intentions when they tried to take me out for pizza.   Unfortunately, I just couldn't make it.   When the nap calls, you answer.

 I look like I'm sad here, but I'm just sleepy.   Mom intentionally left for shopping in Round Rock while I was good and sleepy so I'd nap in the car.   She's pretty sneaky like that.

 Grandpa had the zipline all ready for me.  I really enjoyed it, just like I always do.   I think there's a video rolling around somewhere, but it might be on Grandma's camera.

 Mom knows that Grandma and Grandpa miss out on a lot of "firsts" so they all took me for my first official haircut!   I was NOT cool with this, and the DumDum couldn't persuade me this was ok.   Mom had to hold me while the lady cut my hair.  Of course, I'm not going to let a perfectly good DumDum go to waste.

 During.....

 ....After!    Look out ladies, this level of handsome might catch you un-awares....

A little ice cream treat to celebrate my transition into big-boy haircuts.

Texas was wonderful, and I got to spend a lot of quality time with Grandma and Grandpa.   We spent a lot of time riding the tractor, playing toys, digging in the dirt, and eating yummy food all over town.   I especially loved spending time with my Grandpa, who I lovingly called "Pop-Pop."      "Pop-Pop, where ARE you?"   was frequently heard around the house.   I can't wait till the next time we get to go visit!
