LAST month, Brad, Coops, and I took a vacation to Texas. As you know, the middle of our trip was a little dramatic with a surprise hospitalization, but before that, we had a great time! We arrived late Sunday afternoon. Monday evening we had a crawfish boil with Ritt and Chelsea, because that's just what we do when we're together.
Mmmm.... crawfish:
Cooper LOVED hanging out with Chelsea!
And Ritt
We ate crawfish, but Cooper ate alligator.
Celeste stopped by!!
The next day, Tuesday, we went to the lake in R and C's boat. At first, Cooper was NOT a fan of his life jacket.
But then he was ok with it.
Cooper and mommy!
Love, love, love his little seersucker bathing suit!!
Mmmm, a toy that I can chew on that floats, just in case.
The men:
He does have a lot of hair:
Chelsea "driving" the boat:
Ritt was the only one brave enough to get in; it was COLD!
We were the only people on the lake. It was awesome.
Then little man had to take a nap.
That night, we went to NIOSA, one of our favorite Fiesta events. We saw Amber and Jeff:
Chelsea and I got cascarones to use on the guys, but we of course had to use them on each other!
Favorite picture of the trip; this is so us:
Brad and Chelsea bring out the goofy in each other:
Not that Brad and Ritt are any better:
That night, we had to take Cooper to the hospital. But after we made it to Houston, we had more fun times! The men: Brad, Austin, and Ethan. Cooper, unfortunately was asleep.
Compared to his cousins, Cooper is a GIANT!!
This one is my favorite; not sure why:
I took this just because it is amazing we have kept Cooper alive as long as we have. I found him like this, with his blanket over his head.
Cooper and his Nana.
Other than our brief hospital stay, we really did have a fun and memorable trip!!
