Below is Vicky holding Corinne. We had to look it up to figure out the relationships, but Vicky and her sisters Terri, Angie and Marsha are my dad's first cousins; because I am his child and therefore one generation removed from them, they are my first cousins once removed. But they are all Corinne's second cousins and their children are Corinne's second cousins once removed. It has to do with how many generations back you share grandparents. I wish I would have taken more photos while we were all together.
While Mom, Dad and Dan were in Houston we went out to see the battleship "Texas". It is actually the last surviving battleship that was used in both the first and second world wars. It was a cold and windy day while were were there, but it was neat and Nathan and I will likely go again when his brother Aaron and his wife Carolyn come out. Corinne spent most of the time asleep in the baby carrier strapped to my front. Talk about an easy kid.
You could still move the big guns around and look through the sights. It is amazing to think about how much technology has changed in the 100 years since this battle ship was built.
While Dad and Dan were driving around and looking at neighborhoods they thought were interesting because of the lack of zoning in Houston, Nathan and I took Mom and Corinne to Brazo's Bend to see the alligators. We have gone a number of times and have so far only had one trip where we didn't really see anything. This was not that trip. There were quite a few alligators out trying to soak up some sun and Mom got some pretty good pictures. Hopefully she will send a few my way too. My iphone was already too full of photos of Corinne so I missed out. Look how lazy I have gotten that if my phone is full I don't get a real camera out. It is just so convenient.
