Leslie and Evan stayed with us last summer when Nick came to Houston for work.This summer we decided to head up to Dallas to visit them. The kids were amazingly good on the drive up and Leslie was very kind to let us arrive at her house well past 11pm Thursday night.
Of course we had to make our traditional road-trip stop at Buc-ee's!
Molly and I LOVE that place... Paul, not so much.
The next morning Paul introduced the babies and Molly and Evan were so excited to see each other again!
Rebecca is feeling a little left out since Marshall immediately became infatuated with Evan's firetruck. 
Molly and Evan LOVED swimming together!
After a full morning of swimming we got all the kids seated for lunch...
Marshall had fun trying on Evan's old cowboy boots (ok, so maybe I am the one who had fun putting the boots on him!)
Friday afternoon we took the kids to the local splash-pad.
The picture below cracks me up... can you see Evan?
Friday night Marshall enjoyed his bath in the sink...
while Molly wrote me a very sweet message...
which earned her brownies for dessert :o)
While the brownies baked Molly and Daddy played a little soccer. 
Daddy's punishment for a little too much smack-talk on the soccer field!
Saturday the kids enjoyed cinnamon rolls for breakfast before we went to the Frisco Water Park. Those pictures are on a disposable camera, I'll post them as soon as I get them developed. 
After the water park, the kids were exhausted and settled down to watch a movie together.
We tried to let the kids have a slumber party, which seemed like a good idea, but only lasted 10 minutes before they both came out of Evan's room crying. 
Sunday morning we enjoyed a little more playtime before heading back home.
Leslie helped turn the entire living room into a tent!
I love Evan's "How you doin" face in this picture!
Marshall trying to muscle his way into doing some crafts with the big kids...
You might have noticed that Nick is not present in any of these pictures... turns out he threw out his back the week before we arrived and spent most of the weekend in bed or laid out on the couch. It was very kind of him not to kick us out of his house while he was feeling so crummy!The kiddos and our car-full of stuff loaded up and ready to head home:
