Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
Everybody had stayed well for 24 hours so we thought it was safe to keep our plans to meet Johnnie and the kids in Lubbock. We all dressed in our green to keep from getting pinched. This picture below is how to eat your lunch and ice your head at the same time. She hit her head on the corner of a drawer when she bent down to pick something up. The eye roll was just a bonus...for my sake.
We met Johnnie and the kids at Joyland Amusement Park. Johnnie's friends Stephanie and Zachery came too. I had really fretted about this trip. I can not handle rides. I get sick just watching them. I knew Luke and Rachel were both tall enough to ride all the rides, but Kate would need someone to ride with her. I was going to do my best to ride with Kate. I took Dramamine with me and prayed that I would not throw up. Well we got there and I found out Rachel was tall enough to ride the rides as the adult. You have to be 60 inches and she just met the requirement. God does answer prayers!! I was so relieved and happy to get to sit and watch my kids have so much fun!!!

The kids had smiles on their faces ALL DAY LONG!! It was such a fun day and the park was the perfect size for our kids.
Rachel, Luke, and Tenley are in the car on top of that big roller coaster.
The Wild River Log ride was the favorite ride! It not only dropped you really fast, but it got you really wet too. Kate is sitting behind Rachel but you can't see her.
Here are Zackery and Luke on the log ride. Apparently it is so much fun the workers even take rides when they can.
Johnnie riding with Miles and Kate. Miles was too small to ride most of the big rides, including the fun water rides, what a bummer, but he was just tall enough to ride this ride. Next year buddy you can ride all the rides like Tenley!!
This was a hard ride to get a good picture of, but this picture shows how much fun everybody was having.
We got in really late Thursday night. Kate threw up at 4:00am Friday morning. This was after the kids shared drinks all day at the park!! Tenley and Miles got the bug two days later. Nancy got it Sunday night and Steve got it Tuesday. Apparently this bug takes two days to incubate and lasts about twelve hours. I am so sorry everybody got sick!!

On Saturday Tenley had her fifth birthday party!! This was also a special day because we got to meet, Jessica, Chris's only cousin on his mom's side of the family again. We had not seen her since she was two. She is almost eight now. The kids thought she was great!! Luke had another little girl to pick on...she fit right in.
Tenley wanted her hair done like Kate's when her momma was getting her ready. They both were wearing purple too!!
Here is Rachel and Kate with Jessica. She is such a pretty little girl!!
Having fun on the jumper.
Here is a picture for Granny and Pop Pop. The cousins that were there, we are missing Mac and Ian, with Jessica.
We had a good Spring Break this year, except for the stomach bug. It was nice to have the kids home and to get out of our schedule for a while. We are all back in the groove now.
