VANDERMYDE VACATION - TEXAS STYLE


Matt's older brother Adam and his wife Michelle and their 3 kids recently moved to Texas, the location of the BYU-TCU football game on October 16 (please, don't bring the game up, the outcome was less-than-favorable - though, our nephew Preston sure made an adorable BYU fan):




Well, since Matt's brother and his family live in Texas, and since BYU was playing there, the Vandermyde boys (and their awesome wives) decided to get together Texas style (we missed you Annie, Regan, Brooklyn, Marsha, Zack, and Ashton!)

MEETING COUSIN MICHAEL
Tanner's cousin Michael is just 6 months older than Tanner and we couldn't wait for the two of them to meet. Here is what happened when we put them together . . . things escalated rather quickly:


Michael REALLY loved Tanner and Tanner didn't seem to mind the overdose of affection.

Michael wasn't the only cousin who couldn't get enough of Baby T, Kailee was so excited to have any chance to take care of Tanner - she was so cute with him:

THE GRASSY KNOLL

Here are Matt and I atop the Grassy Knoll - the location of JFK's assassination.


And here is Matt posing some tough questions to one of the conspiracy theorists who had set up station there. One thing I love about Matt is how interested he is in seeking out truth and making sure he understands how things work - I don't think that the conspiracy theorist shared my appreciation for this quality in Matt . . .

FORT WORTH STOCK YARDS


The Stock Yards were super cool. Walking around in the stock yards was like walking around in an old Western movie. If you're ever near Fort Worth, Texas, I highly recommend visiting this fun little area . . .

Stock Yard activities included:


Getting our picture taken with Pecos Bill, an authentic Texas Longhorn


Checking out the cool train that runs through the town

Chowing down on delicious, all-you-can-eat, barbeque beef ribs - Yummy!!

Riding the mechanical bull



And trying on cute cowgirl hats and hanging out in the hay with my awesome sisters-in-law.

Also, Matt and his brothers got to experience a true Texas Honkey Tonk (that's right, a Honkey Tonk - that's really what they call it!! ) at Billy Bob's (yes, that's a real place!!) and even got to watch the country singer, Joe Nichols in concert (If you haven't heard of Joe Nichols, you should check out his song, "The Impossible" - it's really great).

We all had so much fun in Texas. Thank you Adam and Michelle for being such fabulous hosts and showing us such a great time in Texas. We love you and miss you!!
