Trip to Dallas

The kids and I joined my parents and sis for a trip to Dallas for a wedding a couple of weekends ago. We had a great time. Hayden continues to be a delight in the car. Sydney not so much. For some reason she doesn't want to nap while riding and it was not fun for the rest of the passengers.

Gigi got the three of us as well as Granny and Aunt Morgan tickets to the Ringling Bros circus. The kids enjoyed it. H-Dubya fell asleep at the end, but that was to be expected. Due to Granny's handicap status we parked unbelievably close, (for $15; EGADS!) and got some fab-o seating because she can't handle stairs well. Here are a few pictures. I know they are blurry but it is all I had on my purse camera. Gigi took others that she will send me soon, hopefully.





We also went to Amanda Morris' wedding. Oh my. A ball was had by all. Hayden stayed home with Aunt Missy and had a fine time. This was Syd's first wedding to attend and she loved every minute of it. Amanda was beautiful, and Syd was so very quiet during the ceremony. Made her mama so proud. The reception was A-MAZ-ING. At some sort of club in Fort Worth. Amanda is such a darling that she had bags made up for the kids. It glow in the dark bracelets that Sydney loved, pez, a customized coloring book about the wedding with crayons, little toys, etc. Amanda also had a candy bar with tons of chocolate candy. Poppy took Syd over to it straight away so she ate candy all night long. And oh, did she dance. She shook it on the dance floor or ran around on it for most of the reception. She had so much fun she would randomly shriek on occasion. The photographer took tons of pics of her. I bet Amanda is wondering what that was about. As soon as Syd saw that the bridesmaids had taken their shoes off to dance she sat on the dance floor and pulled off her shoes and socks, too. There was even an older little girl that she made friends with and would dance with occasionally. She is already asking about the next wedding she will get to attend. Unfortunately I think she is going to have to sit out of the next couple.
