vacation - part 1 (texas)

My cousin, Sarah, got married in Texas this past weekend.  When we found out about the wedding, my mom and I decided we should attend.  Her brother, Bobby, has lived in Texas for about 30 years and she has never been there to see him.  He always comes home!!!  We booked the flights some time ago.  Bottom line - it was a beautiful wedding, Kaylea had the time of her life, and this mama is worn out! 

I worked a 1/2 day on Thursday before picking Kaylea up from school and heading to the airport. Daddy wasn't able to come with us, so it was just us ladies.  We had to drive to Indy (we booked the flights when we lived in Lafayette), took a shuttle bus to the airport, and then rented a car.  Kaylea was excited about all of the forms of transportation! 

Our flight got in late in the evening and it was about an hour drive to the house, so we got in pretty late.  However, that didn't keep Kaylea from staying up late playing with her cousin, Juliet.  Juliet is a year younger than Kaylea, so they had a great time. 

We had Friday morning to hang out at the house.  My aunt Julie did the flowers for the wedding and they arrived by mail, so I took Kaylea & Juliet to the park to kill some time. 






We attended the rehearsal on Friday night.  It was on Lake Conroe - such a beautiful setting for a wedding.  The highlight of the evening was the rehearsal dinner, held at Fajita Jack's.  There was a DJ and karaoke and a man making balloons.  My mom suggested that I take Kaylea up to sing karaoke.  I honestly didn't think she would want to do it, but when I asked her, she was ALL about it!  I signed us up and before I knew it we were on stage singing Call Me Maybe!  She was a champ.  I thought she might run off stage, but she didn't.  She knows the chorus pretty well, but I was stuck singing the verses.

Needless to say, Kaylea had an amazing night and it didn't take her long to crash for the night!
