Threes company or three's a crowd? It really doesn't matter because that's our magic number! We love getting rowdy in a real way without getting arrested!!!

To finish off our trip, we were able to spend the weekend at our family-to-be's! We met lots of family we will merge and everyone had a great time celebrating a birthday!
God is all over this place! He is the Alpha and Omega. He is the beginning and the end. We are so blessed by His grace, mercy, and ABUNDANT gifts he pours over us as His children. How can we not thank our very creator for EVERY breath we breathe!?!?!
God bless Texas!

A Few Days Worth....
These kids make friends everywhere they go! Even the characters at Disney stopped us on the way out to say goodbye on Monday! The kids always had smiles and joy and shared that with everyone they made contact with by calling them by name from their name tag. We even invited one of the Disney employees to stay with us in Dallas!
The kids got to ride roller coasters with their grandparents and they thought that was the best thing ever! We finished up Disney this week and we were able to do and see EVERYTHING we wanted! We even did several things twice! Disney also did the best firework show-if you could see the sky, you could see the show! It was amazing, Disney style.
Before leaving Thousand Trails, we colored our hair, visited souvenir shops, and went to the largest McDonald's in America. We weren't sure if everything would fit in our little car, but we managed to cram it all in there!
We started our road trip and found some great apps to help us find fun things on the way. We saw the Citrus Tower in Claremont, a White House replica, Mt. Rushmore replica, a limousine used by the presidents in '73-78, the largest fishing lure, a double decker bus filled with mannequins, the set of the Truman Show, and a statue of Ray Charles in his hometown of Greenville, FL. We can't wait to get back on the road to see more of America! I can't think of a better way to spend Independence Day...oh, well, maybe on the beach at Destin, BUT IT IS POURING!!!! I don't think we will get to do all we planned, but we have enjoyed our hotel stay and palm tree view!
Enjoy the pictures of our trip!
