Texas (part one)

As I left off, we arrive in Texas (from Barbados) on Saturday, June 30th.  

We picked up our rental car, grabbed dinner, and crashed at my grandmother's house that night.

Sunday, July 1st I threw my sister a bridal shower!

The shower was in Fort Worth and we had a great time! 

(Ben and the girls headed out to the lake house while I hosted the shower)

 Lolly, Anna, and me before the shower began.

Lolly made the Bride glass for Anna!

 Mom, Anna, and yours truly  :)

 Some of the decorations

 Table for 10, favors, and bridal bingo!!

The bride and her mom!

 We ended our festivities with this beautiful cake!

 Anna and Robert are so in LOVE!!!

After we loaded all of Anna and Robert's gifts into the car, 

I headed out to the lake with my mom and Lolly.

 Elizabeth, Caroline, and Annalise spent most of their time on the playground :)

 Views from the deck

 Lake Palo Pinto

 That night we went to dinner at the Marina, Lolly and I decided to have a lime-a-rita (and take a selfie).  You know moms need to have a cocktail while on vacation!

My brother and mom being silly at dinner:

 

 The girls "sat" at a table by themselves.

I sat "sat" because they spent most of their non-eating time running around and dancing.

And that's the end of the first full day in Texas.

I'll be back later with more from the week.
