We have had a pretty exciting week and we've enjoyed the long four day weekend. On Monday, we invited some new people in the ward over for dinner. It's fun to get to know some more people in the ward. We started our holiday on Wednesday by going to Addison Kaboom Town. Apparently it is one of the biggest firework shows in America, or so says American Pyrotechnics Association, USA Today, Travel + Leisure and The Wall Street Journal. Over a half a million people showed up so parking and traffic was pretty crazy. We ended up parking at a Sonic and ordering some shakes and enjoying the fireworks there. We had a pretty good time and Jimmy slept through the entire thing. He is such a good boy!
On July 4th, we started the day by playing tennis and drove around neighborhoods and looked at more houses in North Dallas. We spent the rest of the day chillaxing and grilled up some steaks for dinner. The best part of the meal was the giant bazookie that we ate with Caramel Turtle Cheesecake Blue Bell ice cream. It was heaven! Pretty much, we had fun spending the day together.
On Friday, we went to Forth Worth and had quite the adventure. We started at Harris Methodist hospital where Travis was born. We took some pictures and walked around a bit. Then we headed to the Children's Museum of Science and History and went to their Planetarium show on Our Solar System. Travis and I learned a lot and I think Jimmy even liked it. After that, we went to the Stockyards, an old fashioned western town. We walked around, took pictures, and did some shopping. We wanted the ultimate Texas experience, so we ended up eating Blue Bell ice cream, drinking Dr. Pepper (both Texas creations), taking a picture of John Wayne paraphenalia, walking next to a Longhorn, riding on a horse, and taking a picture in front of a Texan flag. Ya'll, we had a party! Then we went and ate at Olive Garden and drove around Irving to look at more houses. I know you were expecting us to eat at some Tex-Mex place or something but we had a gift card. Then we relaxed in the evening by skyping with some Provo friends that just had their baby and then watching Despicable Me.
Saturday was a relaxing day and we enjoyed getting some errands done at home and on the computer. On Sunday, we are excited to invite some friends over for dinner. and then going over to another friend's house for a game night. Life is good! Ya'll should come and live in Texas. It's a party!
