College Station

At the start of the summer, I had grand plans for visiting with family and having all of the nieces and nephews stay with us for several days and such. And then I looked up--and summer was over. Where did the time go? So a few days before school started, the kids and I hopped in the car to go spend the day in College Station with Valerie and her kids. We left early, early so that we could maximize our time there, and we made it there by about 9:00.

The kids had been wanting to visit the campus of Texas A&M, so Aunt Val gave us all the tour (including the Kyle Stadium, the baseball field, and the student center). Abby and Carson really enjoyed it, and, after years of being a huge UT fan, Abby finally said that she'd like to be an Aggie.

The rest of the day, we had a great time hanging out. We went to Double Dave's for lunch and then enjoyed spending the rest of the day at their house where Valerie and I sat on the couch talking while the kids played for hours upstairs.

Loved getting to spend the day with my amazing sister and can't wait to go back!
