Peace, Love & Ray Family Reunion

So after our weekend in Phoenix my parents and I played a trip to Dallas for the following weekend (October 3-5th). On Friday, the 3rd, we headed toward Dallas so Mommy could try on her bridesmaid dress for Aunt Erin & Uncle Ben's wedding and we could have a nice relaxing dinner with them. We ended up having to get the dress from Houston but we did find Mommy some shoes plus I had a phenomenal time running around with all the sparkly stuff to look at! After a great dinner with Aunt Erin & Uncle Ben at On the Border, Mommy, Daddy and I retired to our home away from home at the LaQuinta on Landmark to prepare for our drive to Dangerfield for the Ray Family Reunion on the 4th.

Friday night was a little rough as I had a hard time sleeping and thus so did Mommy and Daddy but after a late start we did manage to make it to Dangerfield by 1215pm (and with only one stop for a diaper change to boot). Our annual trip to the Ray Family Reunion is the only time we get to see some of our family plus I got to see Great-Grandpa Ray and spend some extra time with Busia, DzaDza and Uncle Paul. Mommy and Daddy didn't take any pictures of our adventures in Dangerfield, luckily DzaDza had his camera at the ready.

As soon as we got to Dangerfield I wanted to explore and meet everyone. After she finished eating Busia tailed me and tried to keep me occupied.

Busia eventually had other things to attend to so Uncle Paul came to keep me company. We had fun playing on the stage while they handed out the door prizes.

I reconnected with Busia during our annual Bingo game - Mommy, Daddy and Uncle Paul played two cards each and filled in for Busia, DzaDza and I.

Here is Great-Grandpa Ray, Me & Busia. Sadly Great-Grandma Ray came down with the flu or cold the day before we the reunion so she couldn't come to the reunion. Since Great-Grandma Ray was sick and didn't want to get me sick Mommy, Daddy and I shortened our trip and didn't go to Great-Grandma & Great-Grandpa's house. Therefore, with the reunion over and our trip to the Great-Grandparents house out of the picture, Mommy, Daddy and I began the long drive home to College Station.

Over a two day span, we put over 600 miles on the car and spent close to 12 hours in the truck. Thankfully this road trip went much smoother than our last attempt. It's amazing how different a car ride can be when you don't have tonsilitous.

Peace, love & Ray family reunion,
