Sisters (and Cousins) in Texas Trip

I took the girls down to Texas for a quick visit with the fabulous Franciscos. It was so fun to see how big they are and to visit their big new house, I call it Mansion House II. 

The kids enjoyed almost daily dips in their hot tub, and Ben finished building this clothesline hours before we arrived, so I felt we just had to put it to use.

 After weeks and weeks of asking for it, we finally made some candy sushi with fruit roll ups and rice krispies and gummy bugs. So yummy, then we sent the kids outside to run it off.

One of our grandest adventures was visiting the SAS factory, it's very old-timey with old cars and a general store that sells popcorn for 15 cents and cokes for 10 cents. They also had a penny candy section, where you can fill a bag for $2 with anything you can reach. The kids loved it, I thought it was pretty fun too.

 This was an old toy car inside, the kids climbed in to check it out.
