Grandma & Grandpa Come to Visit!

We were lucky enough to have Brydon's parents come visit us over the long Martin Luther King weekend. It was exciting to have them come. It had been over a year since they had been to Texas and this is the first time they had seen us now that we were entirely unpacked and settled in.  It was a fun visit.  Unfortunately Grandma got pink-eye, but fortunately she didn't share and we were still able to see a few fun sights.  They even visited Caleb at school and had lunch with him.  He was so excited to show off his Grandma & Grandpa!

Eating chocolate cake at Perini's Steakhouse.  This steakhouse is rated one of the best in Texas and the chef was invited to the White House for Pres. Bush.  It came highly recommend and the steak was very good.

We visited the Frontier Texas museum.  It was a very interactive display about the history of West Texas.  We had a lot of fun and learned a lot.

Of course we had to check out the Abilene Zoo!  It was a beautiful day in January.

The Lions were a highlight.  The male and female decided to be quite noisy while we were there.  Grandpa was pretty excited to see a lion and tell us about his latest visit to Africa.  They are beautiful animals and it was fun to see them being so active.  You can check out all the excitement in the short video below!

It is always so much fun to have family visit and see the life you have created in a new place.  Especially  now that Caleb is in school and Brydon has a job, it is fun to let them get a glimpse of our everyday life.  We were very excited to have them come out and look forward to the next time they can come out and enjoy all the fun in Texas!
