They arrived around 2 a.m. on Thursday, so Thursday was a rest, relax, and catch-up day. We always have a great time just hanging out and chatting.
Friday, all of us except Kenny, drove down to Waco for a whirlwind tour and some Bears gear. We stocked up on tee-shirts, etcetera and had lunch with a friend of Erika's. Unfortunately, it was freezing, the bears were not there, and I lost my wallet on the way home at a gas station!
Saturday, we rode the train to downtown and went to the Childrens' Aquarium at Fair Park. The kids enjoyed seeing and touching all the animals. Mira even garnered enough courage to feed the sting rays! She was pretty annoyed when she got splashed by excited rays (total meltdown ensued), but I was still really proud of her for doing it! We also visited the Texas Discovery Gardens, but left unimpressed.
The most fun was just watching Mira and Ben play while Ethan tried his hardest to keep up. At one point, Ben and Mira were racing around the house screaming over and over, "Watch out for the Big Kids!" and on one lap, Mira went out of her way to stiff-arm Ethan and yell "Watch out for the Big Kids!" - not really in a mean way, just very excited. She was thoroughly castigated. Overall, they were very sweet to Ethan, and he is so laid back, that not much bothered him as long as he had food to eat!
They had to leave on Sunday, so that was the end of their brief visit. We will be planning our visit to Lincoln here soon! Hopefully, we'll catch that amazing September weather up there!!!
Also, in March, we went to a Stars hockey game with PapaNui, and we took Mira to her second Disney on Ice show! She had a blast at both!
Again, it seems like there was more to March, but this will have to do for now!
