Mini Vacation

We decided to go on a mini vacation with the kids since a friend of ours invited us to go on a trip with their family. Jeff has a friend from high school named Misty and she did my hair forever so we became great friends too. She and her husband Ryan have two boys that are 2 and 8 years old so it's great to spend time with them. We went to Dallas, TX for two nights and has a great time. It was a challenge staying in a hotel with Jorden but he slept pretty well for being away from home.

We packed up the car and drove to the Texas border and stopped for a picnic then we went to Medieval Times dinner theater. Jeff and I have been talking about going there forever so we are glad we took the kids. It was a whole Medieval theme with a king, knights and swords. We ate a huge dinner with our hands and cheered for our red and yellow knight. Jensen loved the sword fights and jousting.

Jorden enjoyed seeing the heesies (horses)

The next morning we went to Lego Discoveryland at the Grapevine Mills Mall and had a great time playing with legos and riding a few rides.

Big boys Mason and Jensen making cars to send down the ramps

Even bigger boy Jeff building something

I thought this would be a cool picture of Jensen in the pile of Legos but I think it was painful!

 We had never been to Rainforest Cafe so it was neat to eat dinner there. They have animatronic animals and you feel like you are in the rain forest.

Boys checking out the aligator. We just happened to dress all 4 boys in orange that day!
