Labor Day Weekend in Lubbock

We decided to spend the Labor Day Weekend at my older sister's, Steph, house in Lubbock. We took off Friday so we could get an early start on the long trip. Fortunately we got to take a break in Abilene while we visited with our good friends Joby and Shae. Caleb got to play with their son Dakota for a couple of hours while we ate lunch and visited. Then we got back on the road to Lubbock, getting there about the same time as my younger sister Dani and her hubby, Rhett did. We hadn't all been together in a while, so it was nice to catch up.

Saturday morning we took the kids to the park to enjoy the nice cooler morning. Caleb enjoyed riding bikes to the park and hanging out with his cousins and their neighbor friends.

They played constantly all weekend with little to no rest except when they passed out each night!Lexie loved Steph's pantry, constantly taking things out and then putting them back in. Why do we spend so much money on toys? My niece Maegan and her friend came in to visit as well, so us girls headed off to shop and get a pedicure that afternoon.

We had some crazy toenails.

Then we enjoyed being lazy with the kids while the guys cooked out. Sunday we headed to my Alma Mater to do some tailgating before Greg and I went to the game. Thankfully Dani and Rhett, silly Longhorn fans, were willing to keep Lex while we headed to the game. But we didn't leave her without getting her ready for game time!

Lexie loved having so much attention from everyone.Caleb got to enjoy the pre-game festivities with us.

I explained how I had gone to school there and so far have successfully brainwashed him into attending Tech as well. "I want to go to school here when I'm older too mommy."

We got a picture with the Masked Rider and bought a few more souvenirs before sending him home with Mike and Steph.

It was a hot day, but thankfully the shade came down over our seats pretty quickly. It was nice to see a Tech game in person again, it had been way too long.

After the game we all met up to eat out and avoid having to clean up after so many people.

As you can see Caleb was also trying to be manipulated by my silly Longhorn relatives. But I'll keep working on him.

Lex got to eat her first spaghetti dinner.Then we celebrated Dani's birthday with some yummy cake and cookies.

The rest of the weekend we just enjoyed being with our family before having to make the long journey back to Ft Worth
