Fun Times in Amarillo

I am finally getting back to posting about our Amarillo trip.  We have been home a little over a week and we have been trying to get caught up on the house work and get things ready to start packing for our move.  Its been a crazy busy week.

While we were in Amarillo pretty much everyone got a cold.  It dampened the fun quite a bit.  Chloe was a mess.  She was cutting at least 5 teeth.  She had an earache, a 103 fever for several days, a cold and some kind of virus that left her with a rash when the fever left.  Poor thing was miserable.  She refused to like her Mimi, only tolerated the rest of the family and was generally stuck to my hip the whole two weeks.  Because of that I didn't get as many cute pictures as I wanted.  Thanks to at least one child being sick or crying at all times the entire two weeks we didn't even get any pictures of all the cousins together.  Hopefully next trip will be better.  Overall we did still have a good time getting to see family.  We got to experience a major blizzard that kept us in Amarillo an extra day.  I was tired and we were very glad to see Clint when we got home though.  I did get a few pictures of fun times when Chloe wasn't crying.

 Natalie LOVED Aunt Bert's puppy!

All kinds of excitement for two weeks.  Chloe taught Savannah that bath water is delicious, kitchen cabinets hold all kinds of fun toys and the cat water can be fun! Chloe learned that highchair buckles are pretty interesting, she needs to drag every blanket she owns all over the house and squeeze pouches of food are yummy.  

Hopefully it won't be another year and a half before we get to visit again and next time the cousins will have more fun because they won't all be sick!
