Texas

Last week, we were able to visit Jeremy's family in Texas. It was so great to catch up with them. On memorial day, we had a barbecue with Jeremy's grandparents. It was so much fun to see Carter with his great grandparents. When Carter saw his great grandma for the first time, he gave her a big smile, it was pretty cute.

On Tuesday, we drove to downtown Dallas and went to the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science. They had an earthquake simulator. Jeremy got pretty scared, they had to stop it so he could get off.

They also had a lot of really neat dinosaur skeletons.

and an enormous geode

On Thursday, Jeremy and I were able to meet up with the Brannocks for dinner. It was so great to see my friend, Amanda. We really relied on each other during nursing school and it had been way too long since we had seen each other...over three years. It was so much fun to catch up and to see each other's kiddos.

While we were in Texas, we definitely took advantage of a having an eager babysitter nearby. It was great for Carter to be able to spend some quality time with his Gram.

It was also really great for me and Jeremy to be able to go to the temple and out to a movie. On our last day in Texas, we took Carter swimming. I think the water was a little bit cold for his taste, but he still had fun.

We love Texas! Hopefully it's not too long before we get to come back!
