After spending over a week with his Granny and Poppa, Nicky got to spend a week with his Nana, Pop, Uncle Brent, cousins Brended and Emily, as well as GG, Aunt Marsha, Uncle Edward, and 2nd cousins Marshal and Kelsey. His first day in San Antonio, he went to Sea World...

Day two was spent out at Aunt Marsha and Uncle Edward's farm...
Nicky, Brenden, Emily and Pop...
Nicky and Pop...with Nicky's favorite thing EVER in the background - "digger!"
Shooting with Uncle Brent...this has had quite the impression on him...he now wants to be a "peaceman" (we're still having trouble saying the letter "l" - although I think this pronunciation is quite fitting!) when he grows up!

Day three was mostly spent being lazy by Nana and Pop's pool while Uncle Brent got everything packed up for he and the kid's trip home the next day. The afternoon, however, brought about a trip to the school where Aunt Pam used to teach. The Ag class takes care of animals and they let the kids pet them...
Friday, Nana, Pop, Nicky, "aunt" Brie and "uncle" Max (what? dogs are people too!!!) all piled into Nana's CRV and headed north to the Big D. Put a dog next to this kid and he's one happy camper...except our Bailey - "she bite you" as Nicky would say. She's a little testy...to say the least!
Nicky hasn't stopped talking about his cousins since he's been home. Everything he talks about doing includes Brenden and Emily. We're so thankful he was able to spend time with his extended family this summer, and hopefully we can make this an annual event. Most of my memories from being a kid involve the summers I spent with my cousins Stefani and TJ, and although we had our little spats (I remember my Aunt Sharon making us stand in the corner several times!), it was definitely time well spent.
