Much fun in the Lonestar State

Last weekend Breisch and I headed to Texas for a family function. As you can see from the picture below, it was a crawfish boil that our extended family holds every year. It was so much fun and so many people. Just one of my dad's siblings has 6 children who are all married with their own children. With such a big family, it is hard to see everybody, but it was really great to see all of the ones who came.
These are two of my cousins. They are twins, and the girl on the left is my god-daughter. They were so much fun, and they love the camera.
This is a picture of my father and Jude, one of the twins. They are such people lovers. It does not matter who you are they will love on you!

Here are Lizzie, Steve, and Laura Beth (my Niece) at the crawfish boil. She is a little over 3 months old and is so much fun to play with. I think her favorite thing to do is smile at ME. After the crawfish boil, Steve, Lizzie, Laura Beth, Breisch, and I loaded up the van and headed to Dallas, TX for some sight seeing. We got there at about 10:30 Saturday night and went straight to sleep. The next day we went to the JFK Memorial and Museum (The Sixth Floor Museum). Below is a picture of the window from where at least three out of the four shots were fired. They are not really sure how many shots were fired, but they are for sure three and think possibly four. After this weekend, I think one of the first questions I will ask when I get to heaven is "Who really killed JFK?"
Here is Steve (my Brother-in-law) taking pictures on the "X" where the car was sitting at the time of the first shot. Yes, he is in the middle of the road and yes, cars do drive on this road. For a minute, I thought Steve was a goner!
I know...don't we look cute! To cap the night off, we decided to go to Medieval Times. This is a fun dinner and show that interacts with the crowd. They have sword fights, horse riding, and competitive games. If you get a chance, this is something anybody would enjoy, but if you have kids, it is a must! Below is a picture of them introducing the knights. As you can see from our crowns, we are cheering for the yellow knight, so during the entire show we want our knight to win.

Sorry the pictures were so blurry. We were in the crowd and it was dark so the flash did not pick up everything with the movement.
