Baseball Game and Water Park

We made another road trip this weekend. We met Jill and her family in Dallas. What a great weekend.

The boys got in plenty of swimming. On Saturday, we went to McKinney and had breakfast at Betty's, a neat little café there with a great breakfast buffet. Then it was on to some of the stores in that area, and of course a drive by Jill and Kip's old house. Then we headed back to Frisco and went on a shopping spree. With the kids begging to go swim the whole time. Kallie made a cute little bear named Frisco. We got back to the hotel and they had an hour to swim before we headed off to the baseball game.

The Frisco Rough Riders were playing the Midland Rockhounds. It’s a neat little baseball park, very hot though. They have a roping dummy set up behind one of the concessions and the boys surprised the cowgirl when they roped like professionals. Even Kallie got in on it. Trevor and Taylor got some autographs and there were a couple times Jill and I thought we'd get an autograph of a baseball on our heads. (We were right in the foul territory.) Everyone won a free t-shirt by picking out which board was Hardi-plank in a contest.



The next day we headed to the water park in Denton. It’s a nice size park, with a couple slides, a lazy river, a kids area and two indoor pools. Landon enjoyed his first water park as we floated along the lazy river. Kallie had a great time in the kids area and floating along with Jill and Kip in the river. I think Taylor lapped us a couple times. Bryan, Kip and Trevor spent most of the time on the slides. I'm sure all the kids slept great on the way home.

We had a great weekend, nice and relaxing. Kallie kept pointing at Landon and asking us "What's her name?" "Oh, that's Landon." We couldn't figure out why she kept asking…until Bryan explained that's what people usually say to kids…"Oh, what's your name?" So she had just picked up on it and decided that's what needed to be said. Too smart. She wanted to hold Landon all weekend, they were too cute together.
