California Irwins Visit the Texas Birds

Our trip to Texas was full of adventures and lots of fun. Grandma Ro and Cory flew there, while Grandpa Mike drove his semi-truck. Grandpa arrived first and spent the day with the kids at the park. Last time grandpa took the kids to the park Rilynn broke her arm (elbow). This time Trenton broke his arm (wrist). Everyone had fun giving poor grandpa a bad time about parks being off limits for him unless there are rubber things for them to bounce off of.
Meanwhile: The adventure began for Ro and Cory who almost missed their flight.
They closed the doors of the plane and started pulling away before we could find a left over isle seat. Saturday was full of fun going to Cami and Kadie's soccer game. Cami scored 3 goals and Kadie played tough.

Trenton was unable to play due to his injury-but he took team pics.
Then it was off to Mac's baseball game where he made a run into home for his team!
After we all napped we went to Kemah Boardwalk. We all road the Ferris Wheel and a few of us braved the very wicked roller coaster. Ro and Mac paid the price for the trill afterward. Mac's chest and shoulder and Ro's back hurt so bad. But, Grandma Hainey came to our rescue with icy hot patches.




We all went out for pizza. Ro and Grandma Hainey shared in the backaches while Trenton was simply exausted from a long day.

Ro and Cory began the adventure back home. Our plane left Houston and went to Denver, Co. There our plane had a switch and was on the way to Tampa, Fl. instead of LAX??? SO, we finally figured out just before they pulled away that we were being routed to Vegas. So we quickly caught that plane. In Vegas, we were told that there was another switch and our crew was going to North Carolina. We finally left Vegas for LAX. Upon arrival we found out Cory's bag went to Tampa.

WHEW! What adventures we had. It was all worth it to be with our Texas Birds!
