Lubbock

We always have a great time when we get together with the Taylors… and this weekend was nothing short of that!  We headed to Lubbock on Friday morning- who knew we'd have such an educational trip!  We learned all about wind turbines and cotton fields (we even stopped on the side of the road and got some cotton- not out of a field, but that had blown onto the road.)  Austin thought both were equally interesting :)

We arrived by mid-afternoon and relaxed for a while- letting the boys play in their amazing back yard and getting a tour of their beautiful house!  We headed to dinner and then rushed to the drive-in for a double feature movie!  We have been wanting to take Austin to the drive-in, but just haven't gotten around to it- so this was his first time!  Granted it was COLD, but we all had a GREAT time!  We saw Free Birds & Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2.

Knox, Austin, and Payce at the drive-in.  It was impossible to get a good pic of them all… as you can see.  They were sitting in the back of Christy & Zach's car & the 4 adults were next to them in the back of our minivan.  Lots of blankets, lots of snacks.

The next morning we casually got up and ate breakfast, then I spent some time helping Christy pack (they are moving in 2 weeks) while the guys watched the boys play outside.  We ate a late lunch and then headed to this farm/pumpkin patch.  I am so glad we went because we failed to make it to a pumpkin patch before Halloween…. parent fail.

Corn cannon… such a guy thing.

That evening Knox ended up getting sick, so we had a relaxing evening of watching football and eating pizza!  Later Austin & Payce made smores.. in the fireplace!  Ha ha!  

Two peas in a pod- they have so much fun together!  Can't wait for our next time together!
