trip to TX

Trey's grandmother Agnes Polak died at the age of 95, so we packed up and flew to TX for the funeral.  Since we were going through all the motions of packing, we figured why not stay through the weekend and make the trip really worthwhile.  So, we packed a few extra things and off we went. 

She traveled so well!  She had a bottle when we got on the plane and slept the first hour. Then she played the last 2 hrs, and had a bottle on the way down.  She was really tired towards the end of the flight but would not sleep, so she took a short nap on the drive to East Bernard.   We arrived a few hours before the viewing, and haley was exhausted, so my mom watched her while Trey & I attended the service.  It was like a Polak family reunion, and really great to see the family members we have not seen in so long. It was my first time to meet some of trey's relatives, which says a lot ! 
My mom kept haley during the funeral & cemetary service, but haley joined us for the lunch afterwards, and got to see A LOT of people.  She did great, as long as no one was right in her face, and had fun showing off & being hammy on top of the table after we ate.

Haley loved the cats, and got excited every time she saw one, flapping her ams and saying "ca".  she even grabbed purdy's tail a few times, oh and spilled their water too.

We spent a few hrs at Aunt Kerrie's house & Haley got to see moo cows from a far while we sat on the back patio. 

We did a trial run of leaving haley overnight at their house, and headed to galveston.  It was nice to relax in the sun for a few hrs.  They said Haley did great and it seemed that they really enjoyed keeping her too. The following day, Haley stayed with my parents while we went to lunch and caught a movie.  (we figured we should capitalize on the chance we have lots of willing and able babysitters!)

The day before we left, cousins Tyler & Carson came over and they all went swimming. The Jochec side also stopped over, so we got to see Grandma & Popo, Aunt Veronica and Uncle Larry.  Susan & Nancy were in LA, so we missed the chance of seeing them. 

Here are several shots from the trip.  Unfortunately, no shots with grandma & grandma preisler, but they are visiting us end of June so we will get lots of photos then!
