Random pic.. she loves to get in with all her stuff animals and us her binoculars to find "animals in trouble" ;)
January was lots of fun for us! My parents came to visit! We basically hung out and visited because it was sooo cold here! 40's during the day...maybe low 50's..made it sooo cold to go out in but we enjoyed all the time playing and visiting in the house! One day we did venture out to go to the USS Texas battleship. This was the ship that my Grandpa..my dad's dad..was on during World War II. It was really neat to see and imagine what my grandpa did while being on the ship!
These guns were everywhere on the decks and it took 12 men to run one...crazy huh!
Emma loved sitting on them and exploring but the metal was soo cold..much braver than her mama!
Inside the ship was much much warmer;) Look at these beds...I can't even imagine a ship with tons of stinky men and then sleeping this close to everyone! Amazing what they did for us and our freedom!
The little 'store' on the ship to get treats, smokes, and magazines;)
There were all these massive ropes everywhere..
Barber shop;)
The little lockers they had to keep their things..
Yes...the bathrooms..
Mess hall.. There were all sorts of little places that we didn't get pictures of but it made me amazed at what my Grandpa lived with ;)
Tight places to up and down to different levels.
You were able to climb all the way up to the top of this:)
The ship was amazing and so fun to get to go see with my mom and dad!
At the house there was much playing going at Emma's insistence, she was in heaven! I came up to find Grandpa playing playdo with our little lady:)
Emma, Grandpa, Grandma, and I also took a day and went to San Antonio to see the Alamo. I forgot to take pics but we had a great time!
Funny story I don't want to forget...my mom and dad decided to take Emma to McDonald's to play since it was too cold outside while I stayed home and slept for a while after working. So I sent them with the GPS set to get to there and showed them how to put in to get home. Well they got there and played for couple hours and then decided to go for a little ride. It turns out the GPS was dead..I forgot to put the charger in the car..so they were on their own! It was completely over cast so they couldn't tell at all where the sun was...which my dad figured if he could have seen it he would have known which direction to go;) And it also doesn't help that it is completely flat so no natural land marks to show you anywhere to go. They didn't want to call me to wake me up, so they figured they could just find their own way...well two hours later they decided they had to call me;) Andrew and I tried to explain to them how to get home and which direction to go...still didn't work! So we told them to stop and not go anywhere and we would find them;) We did and had them follow us home! We got a great laugh at it!!! Poor mom and dad..lost in Texas!! Thanks for the funny laugh!!
Thank you Mom and Dad for coming to visit!! We LOVED having you here!

LOVED it! Gosh, I got all teary when I saw the pictures of the ship. I can't imagine what relief Grandpa felt after getting off. Gratitude. XXOO's.
