Trip to Goldthwaite

My Mom wanted the three girls and the grandkids to get together with her and spend some time together this summer.  Jacen and I drove to Goldthwaite on Monday, July 6th.  We had a great week spending time together!!!

On Tuesday, we had a picnic at the the Goldthwaite park, played, posed for lots of pics, and then went to Dairy Queen for ice cream!!!

Someone finally convinced Jacen to slide down both water slides and he loved it!!!  He wouldn't do anything else after that!!!!  

After the waterpark, we stopped at MaggieMoos to get ice cream before returning to Goldthwaite!  It was yummy :)  They ended up getting two ice creams because they were so hungry!

Friday, before leaving town we stopped by to see PawPaw and MeMe!!!
