Trip to Keller

About a week and a half ago I decided to go visit grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins up the the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I showed up at my mom's parents (aka Mawmaw & Pawpaw) unexpected so I could surprise them! They were very surprised! I stayed with Mawmaw & Pawpaw, and got to see most of my cousins, and their children (the 2nd cousins). I had a great time!

Here is a shot of me and Pawpaw...



And of course, here is one of me and Mawmaw...



One day during my trip we went to my Aunt Linda's house for lunch. Much to my surprise they have a pet from the wild who comes to their back sliding glass door wanting food. I look over and there is a squirrel that has her little paws on the glass looking in as if she was saying, "Hey, I'm here, can you give me some food now?" It was hilarious! I had never seen anything like that in my life! They opened the sliding glass door and she came INTO the house to take the piece of bread out of their hands. She stepped back outside and nibbled on the bread right there at the back door. It was kind of sad though because she had some deformed bottom tooth. It was hook-like and as she would bite, the tooth would hit her in the nose. Needless to say, because of the tooth deformity, her nose was also mishaped. I also took some video footage of her eating. If you'd like to see it, let me know and I'll email it your way! Here is a picture of her right before her meal time!



On my last day I got to go out to lunch at Olive Garden with a bunch of my family! Here is a picture of me and my cousin, Amy.



And from left to right is my cousin Shelby, Tiffany (my cousin Jason's wife), and me!



Man! I think Shelby must go to the tanning bed, and well, Tiffany has been living in Florida where she gets a lot of sun, and poor ole Staci...she's just looking kinda pasty! (At least compared to the other two in that photo!) I didn't realize how non-tan I'd gotten! Ha! I guess I'll see what I can do to get a little brown! :)

Hope everyone has had a great weekend! Tomorrow is Monday, and I'm excited! I get to go to my internship site and work with "chillens" all day long! Can't wait! I love it!!! :)
