On the fourth day of our trip we were able to spend the day in College Station with Brian, Jamie, Cade, and Marshall. What a fun family they are!!! We had a wonderful time! The boys played outside all day long, playing football, basketball, and just about any other "ball" sport they could think of! We also were introduced to the art of "Punkin' Chunkin' ".....a Cannon favorite! Basically you put a small pumpkin in a large slingshot and pull back as far as you possibly can....then, LET IT FLY! Oh my goodness, the kids thought it was the most amazing tradition in the whole world!!! Even the parents got into it, and almost knocked Jamie off her feet!
We also were able to tour around the Texas A and M campus for a bit, which the kids loved. We saw the brand new baseball stadium and heard Cade telling us all about the campus and how he would one day be walking those halls! It was adorable! Thank you to the Cannon family for showing us such a wonderful time!
The next day was the only day that was really rainy while we were there. Though still warm, which of course we loved. And since we are from Seattle, we didn't truly care about the rain! We went bowling that day to stay a little dry and the kids had so much fun giving high fives and trying their hardest to knock down a few pins. :) I loved seeing them in their adorable little bowling shoes! And after a fun day of bowling and a great lunch at the lovely Olive Garden, we went back to Tutu and Dale's home for some naps and a little muddy kickball! Of course, a favorite with the boys!!!!!! I stayed inside with Miss E while she slept (yep, I am a wimp), and the boys plus Tutu all went out and got muddy and slimy and gross! But had a TON of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next day was really relaxing with fun and family. Finished some puzzles, played games, watched movies, hung out with new cousins, and watched the Seahawks kick some booty. We also got to see a wonderful Christmas play given by the kids from Samantha and Aaron's church, including our new cousin Brett. He did a fabulous job and we were all so proud of him singing and dancing his heart out!
