Dallas World Aquarium

Two weekends ago, Brent and I took the girls to the Dallas World Aquarium.  We hadn't been since Caroline was one.  It was a fun morning!






 Caroline fed this bird a blueberry.  Abby decided to pass.
 Daddy got this pic from the other side of the tank.

Bats Galore
 We saw Flotsam from The Little Mermaid.
 Caroline gave this huge crab a high five!
 Penguins
 We sat and watched this gigantic manatee for a while.
The girls said their favorite part of the day was the "dance show."  Here is a clip of Caroline following along.

 We ate at Spaghetti Warehouse for lunch.  Girl Scouts were taking up the trolley, but they cleared out after we ate.  The girls were excited to walk through it.

"Dinosaur School"

Last week, the girls started Museum School in Fort Worth.  Caroline was so excited to go to "dinosaur school" after watching Abby go last year.



 
Caroline has Abby's teachers from last year.  She was excited to show her around her old classroom.

Caroline was so proud of her first homework assignment!

Big Bubba's Birthday

Labor Day evening, we helped Big Bubba celebrate his birthday!  The girls wore their party costumes.

A Night on the Town

GiGi and PawPaw came to keep the girls overnight while we were at Whitney's wedding.  The girls had a big night out on the town!  They ate at their favorite place, Kincaid's.  Aunt Lin and Uncle Gary joined them for dinner and then they went for ice cream.

Test Driving Cars at Toys R Us

It was no surprise that they came home with some loot after their shopping trip.
 
They got a little sidetracked styling PawPaw's hair during story time.  I don't think they missed us while we were away!  Thanks for babysitting GiGi and PawPaw!

Wedding Bells

Labor Day weekend, we went to Whitney's wedding.  We have celebrated many happy occasions with the Elseman family over the years and her wedding was another special event to put down in the books.  She was a beautiful bride!
 The whole family was there.  I guess Dad was taking this pic.
