We had a great spring break. We decided to do something fun everyday since we couldnt go to Okla. The first day we planned to go see the dino tracks in Glen Rose, I had heard alot about this place but we hadnt done it yet. The kiddos were so excited to go there. I called my gf Amy on the way and she FAILED to mention the scamosaurus attraction that we did first. Its not really her fault I just like to blame her. All the way there you keep seeing all these billboards advertising Dino World(shoulda been the first tip off) but the whole town seems to really take this dino deal serious. Now the tracks are there and all but everything in the town centers around a dino theme. The small town. It was just kinda funny to see all the uses of dinos. Anyway, after driving for what seems like hours *wink, wink* we finally round the corner to Dinosaur World. We've seen the sign....we're here....finally!!! We pull in and it seems a little commercial but hey, we're not driving anymore. Lets stay!!! We get in line to enter(cause thats what everyone else is doing) and when we get up there Ed says its a little more expensive than the website said but hey....we're not in the car so we do it anyway. By a little more expensive it was like $40 more. Kinda funny. But we had just driven forevahhhh and were not getting back in the car.
Very sunny day!!

Lexie as lunch Well after we realized we had been duped by the tourist attraction instead of the actual dino tracks we played, ate our picnic lunch and headed on to see what we had actually intended to see. It was literally about 100 feet to the real entrance of the state park. In our defense....it was around the corner and we had been in the car forevahhhhh. lol Worth $50, not so much but hey the kiddos had fun and I'm always in for that.
Here are some of the real tracks. Its a neat place really. You get to climb into a riverbed and cross rocks to see them. The kids LOVED that part. They really wanted to play in the water which we did for a bit. It was cold but the kiddos dont feel that, I still remember going on trips with gma and gpa to Colorado and "swimming" in the streams as much as they would let my crazy kid self.
The next day we went to Southlake library for storybook time. Thats a treat because mommy wont usually brave something like that 3 to 1. 2 on 3 is doable. The Southlake library is fabulous like every little thing in Southlake. When we got home we attacked the garage. Yes, I was cursing Garth....not because he had any crap in there because he has been at every garage cleaning ever and he was in Utah that day. Suck!! Our garage is so nice now, even without Garth's expertise we did it. While we were cleaning, a guy stopped to ask if we were getting ready for a garage sale and we of course were so he came back and bought $100 worth of our junk!! We love that dude. And he came back on the saturday and bought more. He really does like our junk!! ;)
Wednesday was set aside for the half price day at the zoo. I mentioned it to another person at Jazzercise the day before and she said she had done it last year on half price day and it was crazy so we were a little nervous about going but hey, we can do it!! So we get in the van all packed and ready with snacks and water and camera and everything else we can think of and we're off. We get literally about 10 minutes from home. Solidly on hwy 35 which is the devil's hwy in case none of you knew that. It is!! Anyway, we hit a monster traffic jam. Typical for that hwy!! So we sat, and we sat, and we moved 2 feet and we sat. This went on for about an hour. Fun for the whole fam lemme tell ya. After about an hour and a half of inching our way to Ft Worth zoo Ethan has to use the bathroom. OF COURSE!! So after I wipe the "no way are we getting off this hwy right now sucka, we'll never get back on again!!" look off my face. I look at Ed and say "we lost babe!! lets go to Keller Pointe instead!!" They have a fabulous indoor pool with lazy river, waterfalls, kids areas and a fabulous loopy slide!! We had so much fun!! The kiddos love to swim and Ethan is addicted to the slide. When we finally got home we were beat. We all slept soooooo good that night.
Thursday daddy got to go see all his Wamuians. I was still beat so I did Jazzercise and came home and just hung out with the kiddos. We ended up going to target, to make it fun I got some wonka candy. I can bribe Ethan with wonka anytime. He'll sit still in church for some wonka action. Its his crack. ;)
Friday was a movie day with daddy. Lexie and Ethan love to go to the feater(as Lexie would say) and watched Bolt. They all loved it. We now own it and watch it almost everyday. Ethan reenacts (is that the right word? jump in my head please and figure it out!!) the movie with doggy stuffed animals as much as possible. I have to say that better so far than listening to him sing...chewing, chewing all day long. He loves him some Violet from Charlie and the choc fact. Me? Not so much!!
Saturday was the garage sale but I had already commited to set up at Jazzercise so Ed had to go it alone with 3 kids. No childcare in saturdays. The kids did awesome. There were a few tears but overall it was great. Ethan was the greeter and would so graciously thank everyone. He also was a great salesman. He tried to sell everything to anyone. It was really cute. We sold all our big stuff and alot of little stuff too. Whatever didnt sell went to goodwill so that I didnt ever have to see it again.
We had a fabulous spring break!! I wish we coulda seen family but it was nice to not really have a schedule for an entire week. We have a great little family and all love being with each other. My kiddos rock!! My hubby is hot and he rocks too!!
MOOSE!!!
cool dude!!
look out Paris Hilton!!
what a cutie!!
