Kaden Comes Home

Kenney's brother Kaden came home from his mission in Flordia on July 13. The kids and I drove to Amarillo, along with a lot of the family, to meet him at the airport. I decided to make a day of it and get some errands done in Amarillo while we were there. The kids didn't enjoy that part, but I took them to a splash pad they really enjoyed. We watched Kaden walk off the plane and then hung out a little longer while he went to get released from being a missionary. We all met up again at The Big Texan and had a great time.

On a side note: I thought the day had been going pretty well shopping with 4 kids, but I should have never had that thought.  Damon broke his flip flop while we were at the airport, so we needed to go get some new shoes before we met up with everyone.  I have extra clothes and diapers etc. in the car, but not shoes.  By the time we got to the mall, all 4 kids had fallen asleep, and I thought if Kenney was with me this would be so quick and easy because I could run in without any kids.  However, I had to wake them all up and drag them with me.  Little did I  know that I would end up having to carry 3 kids because Radley is horrible at waking up and "couldn't" walk, Damon "couldn't" walk with his broken shoe, of course, and when I tried to have Kyler hold Bentley's hand, she freaked out.  Needless to say, it was not our  most pleasant trip to the mall!!

But The Big Texan was a lot of fun!  While I was distracting the kids as we were waiting for our food, I took them downstairs to the shooting games.  Some random stranger from the bar walked over and gave me $10 to let the kids play!  It was so nice of him!  
This was their first time going to a splash pad, and they really had fun.
Hanging around
My pictures aren't the best because I was holding Bentley and trying to stay dry.  She didn't want to get in and I didn't have extra clothes.
He made it home!!!
Shooting the targets.

Bentley grabbed someone's kid's meal hat and just looked so cute in her cowboy hat!
There are always so many kids!
Radley warmed up pretty quick to Kaden, much faster than Keyan!!

Too bad I don't have one of these at home!!
That's one BIG boot!
Yep, I was there too.
They all had to have their picture taken in every single one of these!





At the back of the restaurant they now have a place for live music with some games and other things. The kids had a lot of fun, and Bentley started dancing!
