The BRAT's Go To Conroe!

Well, chalk up another great BRAT's trip! This was our 4th Annual Trip, and this year, we headed to Conroe. It was full of great activities and good family time!

My parents celebrated 40 years of marriage, can you believe that? Joe and I are so lucky that both of our parents have been married so long and have given us a great example of love, perseverance and priorities. Ann, Brian, Joe and I took them to Perry's for the celebration.
Thursday afternoon, all of the guys went fishing and caught a crazy number of fish. They had a great time! The ladies took the kids to The Children's Museum. They had so much fun.

Carlee Jo, Emme, Elle and Spencer are playing in the sandbox.
Thursday night, we went to Grampy Larry's, a neat little restaurant on the lake. We all wore our shirts. This year, they were so neat! Of course, I had found these dresses before I knew we were wearing the shirts that night, so I just had to take a picture of them!
Here is the family (well, extended family)... Missing Ann, Brian and Tommy & Meredith and Steven. But, they joined us the next night!!
On Friday, the guys treated us to a Limo, shopping and eating at PF Changs! What an afternoon!
On Saturday, we had a big cook out! Here is Papa Joe making the food. My dad got him this apron, it's so cute and food was so yummy!
We rented a bounce house and Water Slide... it was perfect for the kids.
Steve and Meredith kayaked the lake. They were gone for like 2 hours!
Here is the Waterslide... all adults got in on the fun too!
Tommy and Carlee Jo! Too cute!
On Sunday, we rented a boat and had a great time... the cousins look too cute!
So, the 5th Annual BRAT's trip will be a RV Trip to Disney World. We are not going to stay in the RV, but just a means of transportation!
