Seven and Seven

Nope, not the drink!  It was our Saturday!  We drove seven hours to spend seven hours with our extended family - and it was totally worth it!

We actually didn't drive seven hours in one - it was more like 3 hours to get to Sammy and Robi's ranch outside Lampasas from Hallettsville, and then 4 hours to get back home to Katy.  The kids did great in the truck - which is a huge relief considering that Sophia is still facing backwards.

Every other year, my mom's family has a huge get-together with our extended family for Easter.  We've always missed it in the past, as it's been our off-year, but we switched last year, and now will be able to go each time!  It's a lot of fun - our extended family is huge - my great aunt had four kids, plus my mom and aunt, and all their respective children and grandchildren.  This year was a fun year, despite that it was our first year without Uncle Jimmy - he passed away last June from complications with dementia/alzheimer's. 

Sammy and Robi served great barbecue, and everyone brought sides and desserts to share.  Overall, it was a great day, plus we had an Easter egg hunt!

Oooohhhh, look at this one!

Overall, a great day!  Apparently, at some point Sammy slipped away from both Mike and I, ran into Robi's bedroom and was playing with Aunt Linda's camera.  She has the same camera as mine.  I guess he knew how to work it.  Hope you didn't find any interesting pictures, Aunt Linda!

We left the ranch at 7 pm, and arrived home at 11 pm, just in time for bed!  Although, the Easter bunny had to make a visit first . . .

Obviously, Sophia's is the pink one!
