Texas Trip...Part One!

We went to Texas over spring break to visit Dad and Susie. We had a blast and the kids have been begging to go back again soon! They loved hanging out with PopPop and Susie and really loved their garden!
 The first morning the kids decided it was time to work in the garden so they helped PopPop get everything ready.

I love this picture of Emily with her tongue hanging out working hard to dump the bags of "dirt!" 

Megan found a ton of snails and had a blast making homes for them and collecting them!

Emily was a watering queen (tongue still hanging out!)

Jacob's favorite part was digging in the dirt and running his race cars all around! This was in March...I got a call a few weeks ago in May that PopPop found one of his cars still buried in the garden!

Emily watering again!

Here is everyone digging holes for their tomato plants.

Megan could garden all day everyday and intends to have a garden at our house this year too!

Here they are working on seedlings for the garden.

That was so much fun starting the garden with the kids, they worked so hard. Unlike Michael who wouldn't lift a finger to help, make the kids do all the work, and poor old Pop Pop.
Megan would be proud to see the garden now. The snails have gotten much larger too.
I need Emily back to help keep up with the watering!

I wonder if cars will start sprouting up in the garden here and there. Car plants, interesting?
