Johnston Spring Tour

The last weekend in April/first weekend in May we made a trip to Louisiana and Mississippi to see our families. When we make trips to see our families I refer to it as us "being on tour". Let me explain: we were in Mer Rouge, La Thursday night, Clarksdale, MS Friday night, Red Banks, MS Saturday night and Hernando, MS Sunday night and back in Texas Monday night. On the way home we went from Mississippi to Tennessee to Arkansas and on to Texas. We always enjoy seeing our families every chance we get. The only problem is that we never get to spend as much time with everyone as we would like. I'm not sure there would ever be enough time, no matter how long we were able to spend with everyone.

We woke up Friday morning at Uncle Blake's and Aunt Morgan's house. They have wonderfully big trees in their front yard. We, of course, had to go outside and play in them (as much as we could).

Rylan came outside too!

Landry and Rylan.

Friday night we had supper at Poppa and Nanna's. It was very yummy: homemade spaghetti, french bread, salad and strawberry shortcake. They gave Landry some crayons and pictures among other happies. She couldn't wait to color.

Aunt Skip and Landry. (right before Skip started getting Landry to say "give me that funky bass line.")

Friday night we stayed at Gran's. Gran, me, Mom and Landry after lunch and before we hit the road...again.


We had a fun day Saturday with Meme, Pops, Uncle Dustin and Aunt Bug at Chuck E. Cheese's. We didn't realize it was a big birthday day and there were so many kids in there, but we had a great time anyway. I think the grown ups had just as much fun as Landry. We burned through the tokens pretty fast and Landry got some neat prizes.

Sunday we got up and had a big breakfast at Meme and Pops before heading off to Reed's 3rd Birthday party.

Landry driving one of the many John Deere's at the party.




Landry enjoying Reed's slide and playhouse. She kept calling it the castle.

Little man Chase and his big smiles. He was cracking us up! Landry wanted to take him home with us.

Reed and Landry working on their calculus homework. We decided to start them early on the hard stuff. Just kidding, I think this was a Toy Story book, they both love the characters.





We had a wonderful time!
