This year we switched it up a little and headed over to Dallas first, so we would be there over the weekend. I thought the Aunts and Uncle would be more free for meeting up on the weekend versus during the week. And they did come over and hang out with us!
Of course, I got zero pictures of that... But I swear they like us and came to see us!
On our last day in Dallas, I did remember I own a camera! And brought it! Mostly because Grannie went and bought us donuts for breakfast and we were goofing off while we waited for her to come back. The kids decided it was well worth the wait when she came back with sprinkle donuts!
Thomas was very intrigued by the game Pawpaw was playing on his laptop. Pawpaw explained to him how solitaire worked, but Thomas isn't quite up to trying it for himself. Yet...
Also, we got to meet the newest member of the family while we were there! Bucky #2! He looks a lot like his predecessor, Bucky #1. Much more energy right now though, because he's still a pretty young guy.
And of course, we can't go to Dallas without going to the Perot museum! I honestly think the two of them might be plenty happy just playing with the musical forest outside. Well, maybe if it wasn't blistering hot temperatures, anyhow...
The museum was moderately packed. It wasn't quite as bad as when we went on Labor Day, but it was pretty busy. Thomas still managed to get his shopping lists completed though!
And Henry managed to snag the truck all to himself for awhile!
The two of them hogged this conveyor belt for a little while, but that seemed to be the going trend everywhere, so I let them get away with it. Plus they had on the orange vests, so they looked super official!
The grandparents look like they are catching a quick nap. I think the activity level was a little much for them...
It was much less crowded outside (because it was so stinking hot!), so the grandparents were happy enough to hang out there with us. The boys jumped straight into the giant sandbox and were super excited to discover a bone! I swear they have seem them before, but you wouldn't have guessed it from the reactions.
This crazy kid! It took forever to convince them to go back inside even though they were both quite sweaty. Oh to be a kid again and not be so bothered by the temperatures outside.
One last chance to play on the frogs before we headed out. As always, it was a blast not only at the museum, but spending time with Grannie & Pawpaw. Thanks for having us! :)
