Lubbock Trip

We took advantage of the long Memorial Day weekend to brave the 9 1/2 hour drive to see Mimi and Papi in Lubbock. We didn't tell Mimi and it ended up being a nice surprise. The drive actually went pretty well - no crying or fussing or anything like that. We made the good decision of getting out of town really early and Owen and Mason tend to be in a great mood in the morning when they're nice and rested.

We all went to Joyland for Owen and Mason's first ever amusement park trip. They had a lot of fun riding the cars, the airplanes, the boats, and all the other rides. We pushed the envelope, though, and put them on the kiddie roller coaster, which proved to be a little too fast. Nothing some dipping dots and popcorn couldn't cure, though.

Overall it was a nice and relaxing weekend, and it got us over the fear of driving that far with the kids. Looks like there's a certain football game this fall that we'll be driving to as well ;)
