Dallas Fun


In addition to Eric's race we were there for my nephew's blessing and to hang out for the week. Despite two trips to the doctor and one emergency surgery for my niece, we had a great time! The kids and I drove out a week early for the blessing and Eric rode out with Mike and Adi later to meet us. The kids were great the entire time. Couldn't have been better.

We:
1. went swimming at their friends' and Tracy's mother's neighborhood pool
2. played slip -n- slide
3. went to the Dallas children's museum
4. went to church on the forth of July
5. ate yummy dinners out
6. ate pizza
7. shopping at Sam Moon and the LDS Book store
8. went house looking with just me and my brother. We haven't done anything with just him and I for years so that was very fun for both of us!
9. ate dinner at THE CUTEST RESTAURANT EVER! The Magic Time Machine. The servers dress up like characters and the entire thing in an act from the time you walk in to the time you walk out. We got Tinkerbelle. Highly recommend this place. Austin asked Pocahontas where the bathroom was and she literally yelled to the entire place, "WATCH EVERYONE. THIS KIDS GOT TO GO!" Austin hated it but really it was hilarious! I saw Cinderella taking a group of kids to the bathroom and made them do a conga line chanting "We gotta go. We gotta go."
10. got strep throat (Aliyah and I)
11. watched kids while my Sister-in-law and brother stayed at the hospital for Brittany's emergency surgery/stitches. Kids: never climb WET monkey bars...never.
12. Generally threw a schedule out of the window and totally relaxed.

This trip is on the agenda for next year!

We'll have to make sure to go to the Magic Time Machine the next time we go through Dallas. Sounds so awesome.

Your girls skirts are so cute - did you make them?

What a fun trip and a fun restaurant! The next time you go to Dallas, if you go when it's cooler, go to the zoo and see the new Savannah section - you get to feed the giraffes and see the elephants in a 10 acre habitat, etc. Pretty great new exhibit.
