So, when we had a bit of a break from visitors, we decided to go do some visiting of our own! Its crazy how large Texas is! We can drive for hours and hours and not leave the state! We traveled up north to Lubbock to visit the Lucero family from April 1-5 (yes, I'm playing blog catch up). It was about a 10.5 hour trip with stops each way. We were a little nervous as to how Kayla would handle being stuck in her carseat for so long, but she did surprisingly well! She's such a champ! We took turns driving and sitting in the back with Kayla, entertaining her. She really was quite perfect until the last 30 minutes or so, when she started getting fussy. As soon as we arrived at Rebecca and Isaac's house, she returned to her cheery self. We had such a great visit with Isaac, Rebecca, and Wyatt. It was so nice to get out of the RGV for a bit and to be with family. They actually had a cold front while we were there and we got to use our heater for the first time since we moved to Texas! I loved it! :) We had a pretty low-key few days, just relaxing and catching up. I really love chatting with Rebecca. I love and respect her opinion and perspective on everything. We stayed up late every night just chatting! Brett was able to help Rebecca feed the horses. Its so great that we have family with horses. My favorite thing about visiting my Uncle Bill when I was little was his horses and I'm sure our kids will love it as well. We had fun playing with Wyatt. He is such a funny kid! I love that Kayla has so many cousins that are her age (there are five babies that will all be born within a year of each other)! We also really enjoyed getting to know Isaac better. We haven't been able to spend a lot of time with him and turns out he's even cooler than we imagined! :) We ate wonderful food and Rebecca, who is a blossoming Senorita, taught me how to make some delicious Mexican dishes! When the weather warmed up, we went for a walk. I forgot how different it is being in a dry climate. It made me even more excited to go home this summer! We also got ice cream a couple times - those Crandalls love their ice cream! I fit right in. :) We had a great trip and love having such wonderful family in Isaac, Rebecca, and Wyatt. We can't wait to see everyone else this summer!

| Its a race! Wyatt's in the lead! |

| Beautiful spring weather |
 |
| Such a pretty lady! |
 |
| Handsome boy! |
We stopped in Fredricksburg on our way home and toured the place. It was a fun little town that reminded me of West Yellowstone or Jackson Hole. It was a great way to break up the long drive home.

| If that isn't the cutest little cowgirl hat you've ever seen, well you're just crazy! |

| Kayla was ready to be home. She was all tuckered out. |
