Road Trip

Josh had some vacation days a while back, so we decided to go to Dallas. Here's Caleb modeling his new sunglasses.
Here's a picture from the Fort Worth Zoo. I didn't get a lot of pictures on this trip. I was too busy kid-wrangling. I wish I had done better, but oh well. The kids loved the zoo. We had a great time running around and looking at the animals (and eating Burger King in the food court). It's great that Madeline is old enough to really enjoy these things now. She loved looking at the animals as much as Caleb this time.
Madeline looks very impressed by the kangaroo.
These shots are all from the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. They have this great elevated kids walkway that has little signs with facts and lots of whisper tubes going from station to station.
It was contained enough that the kids could run ahead a bit, and since we went early in the morning we only saw a total of four other people the whole time we were there.
Here's Madeline talking to Josh on the whisper tube. It was her favorite part of the walkway.


The absolute best part about the botanical gardens? It was free!

Our last morning we grabbed Uncle Bobby and went to breakfast. No, I don't have pictures of that either... but I did snag this one photo that proves we saw him! We all went to the Bass Pro Shop for a bit, and the guys decided to show Caleb how to shoot electronic deer on a screen. Guys.
We had a great trip. It's amazing how well the kids did being in the car so much. Next time I'll do better with the pictures!
Have a trip-tastic day!

You were in Fort Worth and didn't tell me.....we could've met you at the zoo or the botanic gardens! Oh well, maybe next time. Hope you enjoyed your visit here.

That looks like it was a lot of fun! I'm so glad that you still do your blog.....it's a way for me to feel connected to the kids when I don't get to see them in ages.
