Vacation Time....

Well at the end of '08 Bryan still had over 3 weeks vacation that we needed to burn. So he took a week off for Thanksgiving, and over 2 weeks for Christmas. We had some beautiful weather the whole time he was on vacation, and spent some great time as a family. Here are a some pics from a few of the things we did!


We decided to take the girls sledding Texas style! They LOVED it! It was a little unplanned so obviously Payton wasn't dressed for it, but she was right there with Daddy and Madie and was fearless! We sled down that hill on cardboard for hours, and only left because we all needed a potty break! LOL!

All by herself, Mommy was nervous!

Daddy and his girls!


Before their first run.


The same day we took the girls "sledding" we went on a miniature train ride. Payton loves choo choo trains, and both Madie and Bryan were upset they couldn't go with Payton and I last time we went.






Madie loved using her camcorder/digital camera to record as we were passing everything
KING TUT!! We took Madie to the King Tut exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art. We all really enjoyed it. They had so many artifacts, most never seen before, and will never be on display again. I never realized how many items fit into their tombs. They had the canister that they stored his liver in, his baby's casket, items he ate with, and tons of other things. I highly recommend this exhibit, and recommend paying the little extra for the audio tour. It is leaving soon and won't ever be on display again, so check it out!!

Madie thought this was way cool.

Ahhh...The Country Air....

When Bryan and I went to pick up the girls we decided to stay a night to visit with his family. His mom and stepdad live on ranch, and have lots of land, which includes a pond right behind their home. Madie, being the country girl she is, loves it out there. You can find her out there even rubbing sticks together to try and start a fire. Well, Payton seems to really like all the room to just run. So one of Madie's favorite things to do when she visits is to fish, and this was Payton's first time to join in. I think Madie caught a total of two fish that day. Enjoy!! Looks just like big sister

I guess fishing is hard work for a 2 year old.
