Pictures in Gruene, Texas

When Aaron's parents and younger sisters were here we visited a little town called Gruene (pronounced Green). We loved seeing all the flowers in bloom and enjoyed going into a few of the shops. Anya got a mean looking plastic T-Rex that she named Polly and Talmage got a plastic army man set that he loves setting up on a map. His army's biggest threat is Anya and Polly. They can sure clear a battle field and cause Talmage hysterics at the same time. Talmage tried to sharing and let her set some guys up on the map but he just couldn't allow her to set up a giant wooden plane on the maps bridge, because it would be too heavy for the bridge to hold and the plane would fall into the river. Anya seeing it as a flat picture of a pretend bridge couldn't figure out what his problem was. So for this week, the army men have been reserved for quiet time when the kids are in seperate rooms and Talmage can play in peace.

Here are some pictures from Gruene.

Anya was please to pose for a picture by herself because lately Talmage is in the habbit of running pictures with silly faces.Anya and Aaron.
Talmage wanted to be in the picture but not part of the picture.

Anya and me.

Talmage and Anya making silly faces. Sometimes Talmage reminds me of my cousins David and Derek who couldn't help pulling ugly faces everytime the camera came out.
I wonder if it's genetic.

If it is, it looks like they got it on both sides.
This is Anya, Aunt Stephie, and Talmage on a nice wood swing outside on of the shops.
