Ethan and I began our trip in Houston with my Nana and Papa. One of our activities included taking Ethan to a bounce house so he could burn off some energy. My Papa who is 83 years young decided to join in the fun. It was an absolute blast for Ethan to have his great grandfather bouncing around with him. It goes to show that age is only a number! I spoke with my Papa today and he said he is thinking about going back for some more exercise.

I didn't get a chance to snap a picture of my Papa going down the giant slide but this one will definitely do. We all went home and took a nap after this little adventure. Great fun!

I absolutely love this picture. It sums up exactly how I feel about my Papa. He has to be my number one hero without a doubt. I have absolutely no idea where he gets his energy but he is without question one of the most gentle and loving people I have ever known. He completely adores his great grandkids and they adore him right back. I feel so blessed that my children get to know him and will have lasting memories of my Papa and Nana.

I can also say the same thing about my Nana. When Ethan is around her he has her undivided attention. She dotes on him and brags about how Ethan Harrison Payne sounds like the name of our future President. I hope we can move back home soon so the twins will have the same opportunity that Ethan has had. We cherish our visits to Texas without a doubt!
