Lubbock Visit

We headed to Lubbock for the weekend to help my nephews Logan and Dylan celebrate their birthdays. Greg had to stay home for work, so Mom rode with the kids and I. It was a very long trip. Caleb would not be distracted with a movie but continued to ask "how much longer." He was mad that we stopped to eat lunch since that would take up precious time.
We stopped off in Abilene to see Shae's new baby boy, Mikah, and play with Dakota. We finally made it to Lubbock Friday evening, where Caleb became Logan's shadow for the weekend. Logan's and Dylan's birthday party was at a local party place full of Bounce Houses. The boys were off as soon as we entered.
They were running and jumping everywhere. All was going well until Caleb noticed Logan was showing his friends more attention. He became disappointed and pouty, while at the same time Dylan was done jumping and ready for his cake. He too was sad when told "not yet".I was able to capture those precious pouting faces!
Lex loved the toddler jump area and even laughed going down the big slide with me a few times.
She loves adventure. The child is not afraid of anything! After pizza and cake, we were ready for a nice long nap.
That night we headed to a local maze and pumpkin patch.
The kids enjoyed all the props they had to play within and on. Lex enjoyed laughing at the silly boys.
The maze itself was huge, and very easy to get lost in. The boys loved it! We had to answer clues to find our way through the maze. After 45min in the maze, we decided to head over for the hayride.
They had lots of pumpkins carved with designs of all types.
It was lots of fun for everyone. The trip home was much smoother. Caleb gave into to watching a movie and napping. Yhew! What a trip.
