This weekend, we ventured up to Dallas to visit Paul's brother and sister-in-law, Ross and Jenny! We left late in the afternoon on Friday, arriving there around 9pm. On Saturday after lunch, we all packed up and headed to the Dallas Arboretum to enjoy the beautiful flowers and weather. It was perfect California weather - about 73 degrees, no humidity, and the flowers and scenery were just gorgeous - everything perfectly manicured, in bloom, and full of color. It was such a beautiful place that there were actually 2 weddings being held, as well as numerous photography sessions for children, engaged couples, and young kids. My favorite place was this large wooden trellis that had huge pink floral vines draping all across and down its pillars - absolutely stunning!
The girls loved the grass- the short Bermuda grass was like a green carpet to them. Claire is getting so close to walking - she stood for a while on her own, and then...
Took two steps all by herself! Her confidence is gradually building, but it just takes time.
Claire loves to "run" with Daddy!
The girls loved the fountain! Caroline wanted to jump in and kept leaning over to touch the water.
Taking a break and having a snack!
This was one of my favorites...Claire made sure Daddy got a snack too. She got this intently serious look on her face and figured out that he must be hungry too.
So being the sweet sharing girl that she is, she reached in and grabbed a few Cheerios, and...
Made sure Daddy got plenty to eat! She took her job very seriously and we were all cracking up, but she didn't get distracted at all from her sharing.
On our way out, we took another little break in front of some large azalea bushes.
The girls did really well in the stroller, mostly because we were outdoors! They had a great time at the arboretum and we did too! We are thankful to have such sweet relatives to host us and show us a fabulous time in Dallas!
