Big Texas Family

Throw back to the Big Texas Family trip to Topsail Hill Preserve State Park in September 2016. A beautiful campground and beach. Home to some fond family memories. Only 9 kiddos in this picture. Little Ace #10 was born exactly one year later.

Evangeline is growing up so fast. She's looking sweet here, but she's got a spunky side that we love too. 😆 She was looking at the sunset for a few moments. If you look close, you can see it's reflection in her eyes.

There's hard, and then there's "let's try to get all of Big Texas Family in one picture" hard. Look at this feat!

Ocho hanging with the goats this morning. Happy St Paddy's Day!

Just got back from our trip to the Florida RV super show and found this in our email inbox. A huge thank you to Sun RV Resorts for this great picture of the kids! Too bad Big John (our oldest, age 19) had to stay home and work. Who knows what costume he might have donned for this shot! Thanks again, Sun RV Resorts!

Stopped at the Czech Stop and Little Czech Bakery in West, Texas for tasty Kolaches!

Ok, who takes care of Big Texas Family in a big way? Hampton by Hilton in Kimball, Tennessee does!

A big family can get very mixed results when they show up at a hotel (and understandably so). But from check-in last night, to breakfast and departure this morning, we were treated like kings and queens, and greeted with big smiles!

goff.woodall helped set us up to make extra miles on the road, by going the extra mile herself, putting together a care package of coloring and activities for our trip for ALL the kids, with special packs for the boys and the girls too.

Thank you, Januari, and to all your co-workers who helped make our day, and night! We will definitely be coming back!

Visiting the Lodge Factory Store. Ocho levitates with excitement!

We love the sign that Wooden Signs by Chris made for us! He's a real pro with the router, and a great artist. Check out his work at https://www.facebook.com/WoodenSignsByChris/

Day 4 here we come!
