Texas, part 2

On Wednesday, we had to go shopping. When packing for the trip I had Alex try on all her summer clothes and found they were all too small. Utah is no where near summer so I put off trying to find clothes for her until we reached Texas. We went to Stonebriar and shopped, ate, and of course rode the carousel.

Thursday, we drove into Dallas to go to the aquarium. This place is awesome. The layout is cool making you feel apart of the habitat. It would have been better if there hadn't been 600 school children there as well but when you drive out there for 45 minutes it's not like you are going to turn around and go back home. I am glad we went and that the girls got to see this. (If you can't tell, it is a turtle swimming above the girls heads.)

That night we went over to Kathy's house and spent time with her and her family. She has a great family. Her kids are just like her, inviting and accepting of everyone. We had a fabulous dinner, with a rousing game of wiffle ball afterward.

Friday, we went and saw Rio the movie. It was very cute and mom didn't even fall asleep during the movie!


Saturday, we tried out Mooyah's. It was crazy. There was so many people. Dad got each of the girls these balloons. They were not too happy with me when I told them they were not allowed to take them with us on the plane. After Mooyah's we went finishing at Bethany Lakes. No fish were caught and yet the turtles were a snappin' that day. Both girls caught a turtle which Dad threw back.

Sunday we of course went to church. It was a little strange to be there again but it was nice to see familiar faces.

Well that was our trip, sort of. There are no pictures of all the other things I will remember. Dad, Martin and the girls digging for Katie's buried treasure(not found), our Jeopardy marathon, helping mom make Easter cards for the grandkids, Brahms, Spring Creek Barbeque, Uncle Julio's, the kids and grandpa on the riding lawn mower, the kids playing baseball and badminton(those did not come on the plane either) and so much more.
