Family Vacation in Ft Worth, Tx!!!

We just got back from our family vacation which was so much fun! I'll break the posts up into several different ones so it won't be a mile long!

We were lucky enough to get an invitation to Uncle Daniel and Aunt Laura's new house. Let me just say, this was the nicest vacation ever mostly because of Daniel and Laura. They are amazing. They let us invade their house and made it seem like they were actually enjoying the fact that my kids were being kids. I never felt like I had to make my kids sit still and act like grown ups! What a blessing.

When Laura found a spoon hidden under her couch...Amy loves to pilfer silverware and carry it around the house...she just laughed! Thanks for being so great to the kids Dan and Laura, it meant a lot to me. I loved not feeling stressed out! I don't encourage favorite Aunt/Uncles, but I know you guys just earned some serious brownie points!

We weren't pretending...we really did have fun! And the kids actually behaved really well so we never had to worry. There weren't any broken items or spilt food, and they always put their dishes in the sink.

Anyway, we were a little nervous at first, but were thoroughly impressed! You and Jared are doing an awesome job with those kiddos.

One bad thing though, I'll have to buy myself a sword or shield next time, cause "Ninja Daniel" won't be able to take on both of the boys much longer without a weapon!

I haven't read your blog in so long and had a good laugh this morning. Ian's black eye was crazy black! I know you described it as such but seeing is believing! Thanks for being so understanding with Emily coming home at 11. You are the best, Laura!

How fun to be able to do that. Maren and Ryan are just to far away and Smitty and Ashlee would think we were weird if we came and stayed at there place because they are only 30 minutes away from us. Sounds like your kids acted very good. Way to go Shannon kids!
