Before long Cindy, Brady, and McKenna showed up. Brady brought his guitar and amp and gave us a concert. He's a talented musician! He's also really good with kids. He was showing Brody some of his guitar tricks and didn't even seem to mind when Brody tried to pick the "dots" off the neck of his guitar (thankfully Brody wasn't successful)!
When they left to go pick Ginger up from work, Daddy Steve took Brody on a walk. Brody woke up from his afternoon nap wanting to "go to Daddy Steve and Namaw's house to swim", so Daddy Steve took him to the park...next to the city pool. I thought that sounded a little cruel, but he said that Brody loved just watching the kids swim while he played on the playground equipment.
We spent the night on Friday and on Saturday morning Ginger, McKenna, Sharon, & Sheila came over to visit. I thought I caught a smile on camera...but it was more like the end of the smile than the full thing.
Brody was telling everyone about the train he saw in Colorado, so Sharon & Sheila suggested that we take him to the Whistle Stop. There's a passenger train that comes thru town and next to the train stop is a kids park.
Daddy Steve and Brody playing in one of the train cars. The floor was actually a big sandbox.
After playing on the kids trains, Brody wanted to go see the "real deal"! Can you find Brody in this picture? It really puts the size of the train in perspective (either that or it shows how little Brody is)!
There were some old train cars that you can explore. Here's Brody inside the engine car.
I love this picture that Daddy Steve took of Brody. It was time to leave the train yard to go get lunch. Brody didn't want to leave.
After lunch Daddy Steve worked on Grandmommy's honey-do list, Brody napped, and Ginger and I went shopping (shoe shopping for Brody).
We had so much fun visiting family in Temple. I'm glad that we live close enough to get to see them more often now!

I am glad that y'all go to visit everyone in Temple! It looks like a wonderful trip!
WOW! That train is huge. What a fun family trip.
Brody looks like he is in heaven in that engine room.
How exciting to go see the train! What a fun family trip to Temple!
We enjoyed your visit and seeing little Barrett for the first time (in person). Brody was so much fun. I wish we lived closer but I cannot complain because you all are much closer than before. I hope to see Mike the next time. So much to be thankful for!!!
I'm glad that you get to see your family more often now too. I love that Mitch's sister lives so close to us. There's nothing better than a quick trip to Austin to visit them.
I haven't heard from you lately! Where are you???:)
That was a fun trip. Thanks to Sharon and Sheila for the idea about the Train Park. That was a blast! Thanks to Grandmommy for taking care of us with good food and lodging. Thanks to Mike and Staci for making Brody and Barrett!
Isn't it nice to have family so close! The girls have the same outfit that McKenna has on in the last picture!
