End of Summer Trip to Amarillo

Nathaniel and I flew to Amarillo to see our family before school starts. It was so nice to be able to see family and play outside. There was a lot of rain in the Houston area when we flew out, as you can see in the first shot. We had fun watching the planes.

Nathaniel loves these little rides right now. And gumball machines (even though he doesn't chew the gumball).

Having fun with Aunt Hill's dogs.

Mimi took him to paint some pottery. He was very focused and intent on his painting.

He really loves arts and crafts.

He was so hungry from playing outside he almost ate a whole small pizza.

World's Strongest Man?

A bell pepper and tomato he picked from the garden.

I should have fixed his hair before this picture.

One day we got to take lunch to Aunt Hill at her school. Of course her classroom looked terrific and Nathaniel had a great time at a "big" school.

Putting rocks (or something) in his toes.

The last day before we left we went to a railroad museum. Fun!

The Train Station

As always, we love seeing our family and it is such a special treat to go.

One funny thing I remember about the trip. When my mom and Nathaniel were playing with a little lego set, she told Nathaniel that the firefighter had a monkey wrench. He gives her the funniest expression and says, "for monkeys?" We all got a good laugh.
