P-A-R-T-Y!

My cousins and mom hosted a "welcome back" party at my cousin Lori's house. Although it was not even 70 degrees, the kids wanted to swim after the LONG drive from Texas. We had good food and visited with family and friends. It was a nice way to start our trip!

We would roll around town in my VW bug and I had her in the car seat IN THE FRONT seat! Yikes! We didn't know better then. lol Anyway, she is soooo grown up now! I miss my little kiddo!
