The day after Christmas we headed down to Texas to visit the family. We hadn't been since August '09 so this was a needed trip! We arrived the following day after a overnight stop outside of San Antonio and had a wonderful time catching up. Nothing better than family chatting around a bonfire! 
Elena instantly re-connected with her cousin Katelynn and they were inseparable most of the trip!
Elena also had a blast playing with her cousin Julyssa - she adored everything Julyssa did and constantly asked her to play with her. :)
Elena even slept in Julyssa's bed - quite a milestone I thought! She has never slept in anyone else's bed except for ours and her own. Can someone please stop her from growing up?!
The next day we went fishing with more cousins that we hadn't seen yet. It was so hot! (Well like 80 degrees but after coming from freezing temps it was quite the heat wave!)
We had never taken E fishing before and she absolutely loved it!! Guess we will have to start doing that more often!
Since we didn't have any fishing equipment Robert decided to take a machete and make a fishing pole out of bamboo. It was actually pretty impressive, but no fish were caught with his creation. 
Here is Elena with her cousin Randy. What a couple of silly kiddos!
Who thought it would be a good idea to give 2,3 and 4 year olds foam swords to fight with? Yup, definitely Robert - as you can see below!
Elena event got to try out a Wii for the first time. And her Tio Pete even got in on the dancing action!! It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen! ;)
Well, that sums up the first part of the trip. Part 2 includes the beach, New Year's Eve and
some serious tether ball playing! More to come soon!
