Fun Day at Fair Park... or was it?

Yesterday we went to Fair Park  to the Natural History Museum to see a really cool dinosaur exhibit. Nolan was pumped, he popped out of bed with his Allosaurus shirt on ready to go. After nearly being eaten by a life sized anamatronic T-Rex, we headed outside from some lunch and discovered this really cool maze/sculpture/water garden/turtle sanctuary thing that runs over and through the pond behind the museum.  In the picture above you can see me thinking, this is not the best idea but then he was off. He went around the corner ... we heard a splash, then cries for help.  The picture below is the result. 

The best part of the story is that when we were leaving, another mom with 2 small girls asked me if he had just fallen into this water. When I told her yes, she quickly said "Sophia, come here. I have something I want to show you." It's never good when your child is the example for what not  to do! :)

A Thanksgiving in Texas



We made our annual pilgramage to my home town this week. Arlington, Texas is a place I could never live again but I love to visit and get that homey feeling every once in awhile, but never in August. In just a few short days I had the chance to catch up with an old friend , spend lots of time with my dad and test my metroplex driving skills. We went to the Ft. Worth Zoo, played football on Thanksgiving, watched football on Thanksgiving, went fishing, ate our catch and finished it up with a great trip to Six Flags.


The pictures tell the whole story, it was fabulous... and tiring. :)
