What's in Texas?

There was so much to our trip I decided to split it up to make it easier. But any hoo we were trying to think of things to do or see while we were in Texas, and since it was spring break for all the boys too, we wanted to make sure they weren't just sitting home bored. So Monday we decided to brave the Fort Worth Zoo, but we were in for a real surprise because we had no idea just how busy it was going to be. It was beyond crowded, so packed that they had to bring on police officers to direct traffic and mediate parking and it took 15 min. just to walk from car to zoo entrance. There were so many people at the zoo I think some of the animals decided to hide, and those that didn't hide weren't visible through the huge masses of people. It was still pretty fun, but exhausting since we spent most of the time trying to navigate through the people and keep everyone together.


After we got back from the zoo the adults decided to go out and enjoy a quiet dinner, right across the street. It was so nice and the food was really yummy. Having adult conversation uninterrupted was so nice and there is no one better to share it with that Jeremy and Heather, they are great company. After our meal we walked back home thinking we would find Lilly running around crazy like always, but to our shock she was passed out right in the middle of the floor. The boys said she cried for just a bit, but her cousin picked her up and held her and she fell asleep in his arms. After all the kids were asleep, Heather and I had girl time and stayed up waaaaaay to late talking about anything and everything. It was almost 2 by the time we looked at the clock, but it was so nice having girl talk and just getting to know each other.


On Wednesday we went a nature center and enjoyed the sunny weather. We had a picnic and let the kids run wild. After lunch the older boys went on a little hike while Lilly Ziff and I hung out looking at the horses, I was really sore and not feeling super great so we hung back. But it was still a nice day out. That night the kids watched planet 51 and the parents watched Old Dogs, both were good movies.

Thursday morning after showering and eating breakfast we packed up the car and reluctantly said our goodbyes and started our long drive home. Lilly was once again fantastic for the drive and did her best to entertain us so we didn't get to bored. We are looking forward to the next time we can all be together again and hopefully they will be ab;e to come to Colorado and we can show them as good of a time as they showed us! :-) *hint hint*
