StaatsPac: A Weekend at Gamma and Pops Requires 2 Blogs!

A Weekend at Gamma and Pops Requires 2 Blogs - because we do so many things and have so much fun. We had a blog for Elena's bday party, but that was just Saturday. There was also Sunday . . .

Always starting with a good meal before church . . .

Followed by washing the dishes . . .

Followed by playing with the cousins while the parents take turns getting ready . . .

And for Elena, wearing our birthday gifts and attire. Fun hat (but not to church), cute new dress, and stylin' new boots (new boots not shown). And of course, the cowgirl had to get a picture pretending to ride her horse!!! YEEEEEE - HAW!!!

And for Augie, a new outfit - because the other ones we have aren't fitting anymore.

And after church, we all went to Gamma and Pops' for lunch and more family time.
We got to see GiGi:

And a lot of other family - but the pictures were few in the morning - I was a little worn out.

After trying to leave at a decent hour and head back to Dallas, we turned around and went back to Gamma and Pops. From now on, we will be leaving at 4:30-5:00ish on Monday mornings because the traffic just isn't worth sitting in on Sundays. And the trip is too short to leave early on Sundays. So . . . at least we got more time with the family.

Pops even got out all of his "toys" for us to play on!!!
His new 0 degree mower - Augie got to take a ride with Daddy-O:

And Momba:

And Marci and Elena got to ride the BIG tractor:

Of course - Marci and Gus got a little competitive . . .
"OH - You want to race, huh?!"

And Elena revved her engine!

Augie eyeballed the girls at the starting line . . .

They all went around the curve in the track . . .

And Gus and Augie crept ahead of Marci and Elena . . .

But let me mention that Marci whooped the 0 degree tractor when she put BIG BERTHA in 3rd gear!!!

Then we all took turns and tried out the different toys. . .
