Texas 2014

This year my mom decided she needed to head to Texas in February.  She asked if I'd be interested in the trip and I couldn't pass it up!  The trip was yet again, my mom, my sister Shelly, Addison and myself.  A lovely little girl's weekend.  Addy was such a trooper and did really well with all the flights.  There were four flights total, 2 there and 2 back with a long leg (2 1/2 hours) and a short leg (about 30 minutes).  Addy slept during the 2 1/2 hour trip out to Texas and then again on that same flight home!  This makes travelling so much easier.  She is also easily entertained with the movies & shows we have on our Kindle plus my mom got her several sticker books and regular books to play with and Shelly downloaded a few games on her iPad.
We arrived in Texas and went straight to the nursing home where my Grandma lives.  Addison warmed right up to her and gave her a big hug & kiss.  My Grandma had some stuffed animals on her shelves that Addison quickly made her own and was very comfortable in her environment.  Addison warmed up very quick to my Aunt Diane & Uncle Wes as well.  She had fun playing games with both of them and got use to their house in a short amount of time.
We had a great few days.  We went to an Aquarium on one of the days we were there and Addy had a blast.  That day we were able to take my Grandma out to dinner to the place right around the corner from the nursing home.  It was a pretty warm day, so it felt good to be out in the sun.  The next day was supposed to be nice again, so we decided to walk to the playground and let Addy blow off some energy.  She was in love with this playground and had a ball!!  She probably walked up the stairs to the slide a good 30 times and also went on the swings for awhile. Later in the day we had my Grandma over to my aunt's house for dinner.  We pretty much made a ton of different appetizers and just hung out all day.  It was nice to let Addison hang out and play with my Grandma.  This also gave us some time to hang with my Grandma while Addison took a nice nap.  She took some really good naps while in Texas, but slept like crap at night!  That child just doesn't like you changing up her bedtime routine.  She slept in bed with me all 3 nights and on the last night developed a little fever.  The poor thing was pretty toasty so I threw her into a late night bath hoping it would bring it down.  She eventually fell back asleep, but man was I tired!
By the time we arrived home, Addison was itching to see her daddy.  She was sooo happy to see him at the airport and I'm not sure she let him go until after we got our bags and got to the car.  Another great Texas trip in the books!!
