2011 Good Family Road-trip - Part 2

Levi (13 months), Sam (3.5 yrs), Owen (34 months), Garrett (1 yr), Eli (34 months)

We arrived at my friend (and college roomie) Beth's house in Dallas in the early morning hours of Wednesday. We got a few hours of sleep and then Luke was off to his conference. That left Beth, me and our 5 boys under 4 (!) to spend three fun-filled days together. Unfortunately it was over 100 degrees every day that we were there which made sight-seeing a bit difficult. We ended up going to the pool, a gym for indoor play time and a local farm where the kids got to do all kinds of fun things. We also got to meet up with my friend Janice. Janice and I were friends in Pittsburgh and then she moved to Dallas. When Beth told me she was moving to Dallas, I told her to look Janice up and now they are friends! Small world! We also celebrated Garrett's birthday, went out to eat at some great places (Babe's chicken...YUM) and spent lots of time talking and catching up. Luke returned on Friday and on Saturday we went to visit his Aunt and Uncle who lived nearby. We got to see their horse farm and I even got to ride for a bit. It was a really fun week and it was nice to catch up with Beth and see our boys play together! Monday morning we left for Little Rock, Arkansas and to begin the trip home!
