Early Friday morning we left for Dallas to attend my cousin Jennie's wedding! Max slept for the first hour and a half, and then behaved much better than expected the rest of the way. (I thought we might have to stop somewhere and walk around for hours and hours, but we didn't!!) Here's our only stop along the way: black bean burgers at Chili's in Corsicana.
Ya know, Gabe was pretty well-behaved during that four hour drive too. Guess he is growing up. Today is his half-year birthday. As of today, Gabe can say he is 8 1/2!
Surprisingly, despite leaving at different times and making stops along the way, Mom and Dad, Brian's family, and our car all pulled up at the Hilton at the exact same time!! It was 1:30 p.m., and only Mom and Dad's room was ready. So we all filed in (all 11 of us), and chaos ensued. One of the bellboys commented that this was the greatest number of people he'd ever seen in a room at one time.
Maxie and Grandma, enjoying the view.
Gabe had his heart set on swimming in the pool, weather be darned.
Max just liked running around the pool because he enjoys the way people come rushing when it looks like he's about to fall in.
The Park Cities Hilton is beautiful.
But the kids had a little trouble finding something to do that first evening ...
There were lots of businesses and shopping within walking distance, so we went and ate tofu at Pei Wei.
Meanwhile, Brian's family went to Walmart. They bought these sticky hands that the kids kept getting stuck to the ceiling.
Much to the annoyance of the daddies.
Stay tuned tomorrow for adventures at the Grapevine Mills Mall ...
And of course, the wedding itself! Congratulations, Jennie and Matt! Goodnight!
