Thanksgiving trip part 3

 On Tuesday we all went to the Children's museum in Ft. Worth.  
Dar, Andra and Liam met us there too.
Walking in! How cool!
 Big dinosaur!
 What a HUGE game of chess.
 And checkers!
 They had 2 great toddler areas! One was Curious George town!
 Josie loved Curious George
 open, close, open close
 Coloring time with Andra and Liam
 The twin talked YaYa into going in the hurricane simulator with them. Soooo windy!
 Awwww! Holding hands. So sweet!
 This was the entrance into the second toddler area (well...8 and under)
 The grocery store was a hit! Jillian enjoyed it too.
 Snake! 
 These balls kept Josie busy for a long time!
 Andra is expecting baby boy #2 on December 15!
 Dar and Tony
 Back to Curious George...hugs!
 Jo and Daddy
 It was a beautiful day and they had a dinosaur dig outside. 
The kids were able to play in the sand and "dig" for dino bones.
It was hard to tear the 2 year olds away from the sand, but once we mentioned lunch they managed to pull themselves away from it. :)
We went to McDonalds for lunch. We were all starving!
 Kaitlyn, Kennedy and YaYa
 Jilly and mommy
 Josie and Daddy
After lunch it was dessert time! Josie got ice cream. Big surprise. :)
 She kept saying "Thank you, Mommy". "Thank you for my ice cream". It was so cute.
It was pretty late when we left McDonalds and it didn't take long and this little girl was OUT. 

We went back to Bobby and Tami's house and played outside for the rest of the afternoon. Later that evening, Dar and Brenae came over for one more visit.
 Love this sweet girl!
 Look who's up in a tree again! :)
We packed up and headed home Wednesday morning. The girls were all very sad to leave.
 We stopped at Cracker Barrel to eat on the way home. 
The food was great and the kids loved the fun shop.
 Josie loved the rocking chair outside the restaurant. 
 It took us another long 7 hours to make it back home. We stopped a lot to stretch our legs. Tony got this cute shot of Josie at a gas station along the way. :)
It was such a fun trip, but at the same time, it was good to be home.

On Monday morning we went to Dar's house. Andra, Liam, Brenae,  Baby Banks, Tracy, Paige and Shaylee were all there too!

 Josie just couldn't get enough of the baby.

 The girls taught Andra and Brenae how to make slime.
 Yummy meal! Thanks Aunt Dar!

 The girls!
 Tracy and Paige with Tony and me
 Crossed eyed! Silly boys!
Slime is done! Success!

After Josie's nap, we headed out to meet Tami and Bobby at a dairy farm. It's owned by one of their good friends and he agreed for the girls to come out and see how it all works.
 Milk!
 Family pic!
After all the cows were milked, the girls got to have some ice cream. This was a hit, of course.
 Miss Josie LOVES ice cream
Hugs for mommy!
 (Josie was in a hugging mood...singing "I love you, you love me..." and then wanted everyone to hug.
 After ice cream we saw their sweet baby calf.
Then we headed back home and Bobby made butter with the milk we got from the dairy farm.
 Pretty cool!
Yummy! The girls ate it up!
