The four of us (yes, I said four... David was actually able to get some time off!) headed to the Dallas area for a long weekend with family. My mom's side of the family was all getting together in McKinney, and my aunt and uncle on my dad's side were gracious hosts and invited us to stay with them in Frisco (only about 20 min away). So, we had a wonderful time visiting with both sides of my family. I do not yet have a picture of all of us to post, but in all there were 22 of us. Here's the kids (and our kids).
We arrived just in time for Halloween, so the 5 youngest dressed up and went trick-or-treating in my aunt and uncle's neighborhood in McKinney. They give out the best candy!!! Chocolate and laffy taffy... None of that other cheap junk...
David and I and the kids all headed off to the Dallas World Aquarium while the older kids went off to Six Flags. I really wanted to go to Six Flags too - I love roller coasters, but I couldn't bear the thought of being at an amusement park and not being able to go on every roller coaster in sight, so I avoided temptation and just didn't go. We did have a great time at the aquarium though. They had some HUGE fish the likes of which I'd never seen! I don't remember what they're called, but they looked like koi on steroids - they could've eaten David! They also had an alligator that could have fit all four of us in his belly and still had room for more. It's a really neat set up though - it's 3 stories high, you start up top in the canopy of the rain forest and work your way down to the ocean.

All in all, we just had a fabulous time visiting with all of our family. I hadn't seen either side of my family in just over a year, and it was the first time David had met several of our family members, and hadn't seen the rest of them since our wedding.
The Keyser side - a wonderful perk to be able
to see them too
The Robitaille Siblings -
the reason we're all in Dallas
While we were staying at Dick and Joan's, here's a little mischief that the kiddos enjoyed getting into...
Believe it or not, I did bring bathing suits for them...
