A Great Weekend

Of course we swam some more!

On Saturday Momma took us to the Dallas Imax to watch the Dolphin show.  It was really neat and fun because it was a 1st for the kiddos.  We had a snack at the museum and then went to lunch in the afternoon.

The kids enjoyed looking at the robotic dinosaurs.

They also enjoyed making a souvenir in the penny machine.  Lyndon chose a space design, Carl a snake, and Aubrey a bison.

Impossible to get a smile from everyone at the same time.

Or to even look at the camera at the same time.

Momma has been wanting to take the kids to this McDonald's for a long time.  The kids thought it was really neat.

We then went to the Fort Worth Water Gardens.

Thank you very much Momma/Memere we had a lot of fun and visited some neat places.

On Sunday we pretended it was Father's Day since we were out of town on Father's Day and Lyndon wasn't with us.  Cody wanted to go to the lake, but the wind was atrocious so we hung around the house and then went to the Harris place.  Cody and Lyndon shot the BB gun and Lyndon gave his boat that we brought back from Florida a spin.  We were amazed how fast it is.

Celtic's Game

Very embarrassingly I totally forgot about these next few post pictures.  They are from Spring Break-horrible I know!  

Momma  purchased Celtic tickets for Lyndon and the three of us headed to Dallas for the game and some shopping.  Momma had finished repainting her living room and I had the perfect vision of the curtains she needed, but we were having trouble finding the fabric.  We hit several fabric stores with no such luck, but I did see this couch that I loved!!!!  I have this exact sofa in brown leather, but I love the white fabric with the nail head trim.  It has me thinking....We finally found some pre-made curtains that look great!Lyndon and Momma had a blast at the game, but I was more impressed with this lady who can balance bowls while riding a unicycle...The Celtics won which was great for Momma and Lyndon.  It was neat because Carter and Grant were also at the game and they were on the big screen TV monitors several times.  We never found them in person, but Lyndon sure was excited about them being on the monitors.Lyndon had his own money to spend from the PTO raffle ticket sales.  He was the 2nd High Salesman and was given a Toys 'R Us gift card for $25 and a Visa gift card for $50.  Lyndon had a blast deciding what to buy and was extremely frugal with his money.  He called his gift card a credit card and loved that he even had to sign his name on the receipt for his purchases.  I think I am going to purchase a gift card for him the next time we go shopping because it was a great lesson for him.  As a child it is still a little difficult for him to understand that if I pay with check or credit card I still have to have the money.  It also kept him from asking for 'everything' in sight.  It was a great experience on money management.  In the end he made some great choices.  He purchased two dwarf African frogs that are very easy maintenance! :)  Some Legos at the Lego store and a remote control vehicle toy, & a DS game.  The frogs were his favorite and he was very concerned about them.  He named them Celtic and Maverick.  They are the easiest pets as the water only needs to be cleaned every 4 months and they only eat twice a week!

We had a great trip.  I was able to get us booked into the Hilton Anatole for a steal, we made a trip to IKEA, Celtics won, found a HomeGoods, Lyndon had a blast with his shopping, and Memere took Lyndon swimming while I got packed.  Thank you Memere for a fun trip!
