When Dad's Away...

What do we do when dad leaves for NASCAR weekend in Dallas? As much as possible to wear these kiddos out! We started out the weekend with movie night on Friday - a favorite of Avery's because he gets to stay up late and eat popcorn. We watched Tangled and Ella was mesmerized, seeing it for the 1st time. A real princess in training... On Saturday we loaded up to the Magik Theatre to see Charlotte's Web. Then off to the larger than life playground at Hemisphere Park. But it was hot so what do you do to cool off? The pool of course. An hour is all we can typically handle since the fun thing to do is jump into the pool and then get back out as quickly as possible and do it again, and again... Mom is always there to catch Ella, Avery needs no help as he tries to perfect his cannonball! Fun in the sun makes for sleepy kids and mom so it was an early night that night. We did it all over again on Sunday but with Aunt Stephers and Andy this time after some much needed adult time at the gym. Thank goodness for the Kids Club! Daddy made it back in time to catch us at the pool- talk about 2 excited kids! Avery spotted daddy's truck right away (I didn't believe him) as he was yelling Wade, Wade!! Does anyone else think it's weird when your child calls you by your 1st name? We finished up the evening with dinner outdoors on the patio, have I mentioned how much we love Springtime in Texas?
