Texas vacation

Sunday 9/15 we loaded our car and headed off to Salt Lake where Aunt Karen let us crash for the night. We had a 6:20 am flight the next day so we really appreciated her letting us crash there. Noah has so much fun playing with her dog Hannah, he has always loved her dog and she tolerates Noah well.

Monday we got on our flight with no trouble and had an airport breakfast of champions, giant muffins!

We spent most of the day at the Dallas airport waiting for our connection to McAllen. We got to meet up with our friend Greg & Nancy for lunch, it was so fun to catch up with them. I forgot to take pictures :(
Dallas is actually not a bad airport to spend the day at. Noah loved riding the train from terminal to terminal watching airplanes out the window.

McDonalds also had a play place he actually enjoyed, video games! He doesn't like the traditional play places so this worked out well.

They also have a blue glass maze type thing that apparently plays music if you run in the correct direction, Mark & Noah never figured it out. Noah did manage to run right into the giant wall of glass, he gets his gracefulness from his mom.

We were worried about getting to McAllen on our because of the hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico which is about an hour from them. Luckily we had no trouble getting on. We made it to McAllen  in good time where Brett picked us up in a rather intense rainstorm and headed back to their house.

It was wonderful to see Brett, Heather and Kayla, such an adorable family. Heather and I met 10 years ago at ISU and were roommates for a few years and I couldn't imagine life without my close friend! 

Stay tunes for day 2 of our trip.
