The boys & I enjoyed our last summer getaway in Dallas last week. We had a little different experience flying this time (we used a different airline). They would not let Chris go through security with me and would not let me take my stroller to the gate (had to check it). So there I was with 4 bags & 2 children going through security and of course NOBODY helps me!! Once we made it to the gate they were already boarding and a nice little lady came over to me and said "you are traveling with small children and they need to let you on the plane first." She ended up going up to the airline employee who was boarding the plane and telling her to let me on....it was really sweet! And they let me on!! The flight was just about as good as expected - Jackson crawling all over me for the whole flight...thank goodness it's only an hour flight. Warner is my little helper -holding Jackson's hand, pulling his bag, and keeping up with me. We were so happy to see Buddy when we landed in Dallas!!! One of the first things he and Warner did was go to the train store. Buddy had promised he would get an electric train for his house and he did not disappoint!! They all had fun putting it together.
The temperatures were in the triple digits during our entire visit, so we were either in the water or indoors. They LOVE the splash pad...and it's only a mile away so we made many trips.
CARS 2!! Jackson first time in the movie theatre!! He was good for the first half...and then he got a little restless. Next time I think we will come in after the previews and wait until half way through the movie to get the popcorn.
We also did lots of swimming /playing in the water hose in the backyard.
Funny little boy!
Our friend's Jon & Shelley invited us over to their neighborhood pool one morning. It was more like a water park - with 5 different pools including this fun splash part and water slides! Jackson walked right on up the stairs while I was still putting sunscreen on Warner. The bucket on the top fills up with water and once it's full it turns over and all the water comes pouring out. Jackson was not expecting that and it scared him to death. He ended up falling down the steps and got pretty beat up on his face.
Buddy is a great playmate!
My dad signed Warner up for this little tiny tots tennis camp. He loved it and did so good!! He has a mean little back hand.
A new aquarium opened in Grapevine the week before we got there so we had to check it out! It was a great aquarium, but we picked a bad day to go. We were there with every day care in town!! Warner loved it...especially the sharks.
On our last night, my parents took me out for a birthday dinner to one of my favorites - Fireside Pies! It was delicious.

We loved our time with Buddy & Kissy and can't wait to see them again!!
