This past weekend we made the journey to Lufkin to visit Mam-maw for her 102nd birthday party. The kids did really well on the drive there and we made it to the hotel just after midnight. The next morning, we went over to Mam-maw and John's house and the kids visited with Mam-maw for a bit. We decided to take the kids to a local park so they could burn some energy and get ready for another car ride. They had Mam-maw's party in Carthage, which is about an hour north of Lufkin. At the party, there were some fun riding toys that kept Mason busy the entire time we were there. Roberts cousin Heidi has twin boys about 6 months old, so the boys and Autumn played some in the house. We spent a few hours visiting and headed back to Lufkin around 6 or so. On the way back Robert was craving crawfish, but we didn't know any crawfish places so he settled on catfish. John met us at the restaurant. By the time that was all said and done it was 8pm and we were plum tired! We went back to the hotel and the kids crashed. The next morning, we headed back to Mam-maw's house to visit a little more before we left town. Mason discovered lots of fun things to play with in the old workshop. It's funny how a kid can hone in on certain things. After a quick lunch with them, we knew the kids were so tired so we headed back home. The kids almost slept the entire way home. Its over a 4 hour drive so you know they were tired!
It was a long weekend and we are still recovering today, but overall it was great the kids got to see Mam-maw and celebrate another birthday with her.
