Trip to Lytle-Lots of Pictures

We were so fortunate to be able to make a trip to Lytle and see LOTS of family. My cousin, Aaron, was in town and it has been soooo long since we've seen him...that was nice. We also got to see Papo's war medals and hear some amazing stories of his war experiences. Abigail was suffering from allergies AGAIN! She tried to hang in there.

Here is Abigail with Mamo.
Cousins-Ricky, Larry, and AaronLena and Avery
Papo looking at his newest granddaughter. Dan may be watching football :). Benjamin and Tyler were so excited to see each other. They got into ALL kinds of mischief together! Don't they just look like they are up to something???
Here is a nice windmill in Aunt Olga's backyard-I just had to take a picture.
Papo with his grandsons.
We dressed all of the cousins in their costumes and attempted pictures...here are a few of the best ones...sorry about the camera in the pic, there were so many people snapping shots!

Abigail is a tootsie roll, in case you can't tell. Mama and Abigail
Papo shares war medals and memories with his great-grandchildren. Two of his many medals are the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star.
Now he shares his stories with the family...he remembers it all so well. Mamo and Papo with their children...all but Uncle Robert who lives in Corpus Christi. Aunt Olga and Uncle Richard have this ridiculously big Texas foam hand. Cayden put it on right away, but Ben was reluctant (good boy!). He did end of putting it on, but not until right before we left. I captured the moment, just for Uncle Richard. Callie, Abigail, and SaraAunt Shirl and Abigail
