Girlie Time

What is a trip to Dallas if we dont hit the American Girl Doll Store? This place is so much fun to take the girls to. The boys followed us in but we ran them off into the mall. First, Nellie and Sarah hit the beauty shop for new hair styles. Afterwards, we looked at EVERY outfit in the Bitty Twin section. Luckily that area is smaller than the other dolls.

Alyssa and Nellie

Two very excited girls after a tough day of shopping!

Roller Coaster Crazy

The boys have turned into Roller Coaster Maniacs - they rode every ride at Six Flags this week with Dad in tow - and many of them 3 - 4 times as the lines were short. Mr. Freeze, Titan and even some oldies - Judge Roy Scream and the Shockwave. They are already making plans for the next trip there. The girls cant wait to join them.... as for me - I will continue to be the non-rider who holds all the stuff.

Cow Appreciation Day

This has become a favorite tradition - Chick-fil-A's Cow Appreciation Day. Dress up like a cow and get a free meal. We were a sight for sure - Im not sure if we resembled cows at all but we did have a lot of fun making the costumes!!

Travel with A Large Family

This has always been a tough one for us and we generally had to have 2 hotel rooms. I found this website today and thought I would share it as it list hotels that have rooms for more than 4 persons.

Personally, we recently found Homewood Suites. Large rooms with kitchens and they offer a full breakfast (a big plus for my growing crew). Their rates are especially good on Friday and Saturday nights.
