Summer Dallas Trip

Avery & Nat took a quick trip to the Dallas area and packed in as much fun & visiting with friends as possible. We had a great time!

1st stop - Wills Point: Mimama, Nana & Grandaddy & uncle Swain (not pictured)

Mimama gave Avery an early birthday present.

Then we celebrated another birthday - Nana's 80th!!

Happy birthday Tia Alma!

Final stop - Lunch with Aunt Abby, then back in the truck for an afternoon ride home.

What a joy it was to have time with some of our good friends & family! And a relaxing day w/ Daddy back at home has helped us rest up after all the action:)
