Aloha in Texas

This past weekend our good friends from Hawaii, the Hoffmans, were in Dallas, Texas, so we met halfway and spent the day together. It was wonderful to see them and we had such an awesome day together. We spent over 4 hours at a water park-it was more of a big pool with a few slides in the back but it was perfect since it had an awesome kids area for Makaela, who is almost 4, and a great area for the babies, Mia and Joseph, who are 1 month apart. It was so fun to see Mia and Joseph together again and how much they have grown in the past few months. They were loving the water and it was a great way for everyone to stay cool! We headed to the Cracker Barrell for dinner (Waco, Texas doesn't have much to offer and after driving through downtown-a little sketchy- we opted for Cracker Barrell). It ended up being a perfect spot for the kids and we actually blended in since there were a bunch of other families with young kids there. Well, not sure if we really blended in-Joseph projectile vomited everywhere after trying a few stars of Mia's (guess he isn't ready for those!) and then Mia had quite the diaper blowout. I'll let Jenn tell that story on her blog but let's just say the little girl was plotting as we were all talking about her! Other than the babies' "issues" they were super cute babbling away at each other and Kaela was entertained with the games at the table and ate like a champ...even Rich was impressed! We had a great day and are looking forward to the Hoffmans heading to Florida in January so we'll be driving distance from one another again. Matt is on his way back overseas to finish his year tour there with the Navy-the Hoffmans have sacrificed so much this year with him being there and we really thank their family for what they are doing for our country. We hope the next three months go by fast for them!
Hopefully Jenn has a better picture of Mia and Joseph together!
Good times at Cracker Barrell!
