Stop # 1- Home of the Texas Queens!!


Day one of our trip was all driving! We headed out of Phoenix early the 26th heading to Fort Stockton, Texas. We made it to Fort Stockton around 9:30 pm. We woke up the next morning enjoyed our continental breakfast (lol) and began our journey to Katy, Texas. Oh wait...we stopped at some BBQ place for lunch!! Rudy's BBQ in Boerne, Texas right outside of San Antonio. This is the original Rudy's and truly is a country store. We enjoyed our lunch and then went into the country store and had Blue Bell ice cream for dessert :) Hello Texas!

Our first stop of our trip was in Katy, Texas! We had a wonderful time visiting with Mark, Amber & their wonderful family! The first night we arrived the kids enjoyed a great rain storm in the backyard. As you can see in the photo the kids enjoyed playing in the rain, I think the umbrellas were just for show. Big Daddy's BBQ was served up for dinner and enjoyed by all. BBQ twice in one day, we really were in Texas :)
We were very lucky to be visiting during the end of the school year. Rebekah had an end of the year play that I was able to attend. Albert and Tori were able to come and spend some time with us as well. We took the kids on a picnic and brought the teenagers along for the ride...Amelia fell in love his her cousin Albert, she even fell asleep on his shoulder. That evening we all loaded up and headed to Kemah Boardwalk for dinner and a good time! The kids enjoyed a train ride and carnival games. Rebekah and Sarah won a prize for each of the kids, what great cousins.
We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the Texas hospitality, but our adventures were just beginning!!
