Memorial Day

Instead of staying home and being boring like usual we decided to go on a train ride for Memorial Day. I got the kids dressed up in their patriotic wear and we rode an old train from Grapevine to Ft. Worth and back with a 2 hour stop over at the Stockyards. Honestly, 2 hours wasn't enough time to do much besides grab lunch but we did get to see the daily longhorn cattle drive right before we had to get back on the train. It was really hot (like pants sticking to your legs, don't want to hold your kids hand because he's sweaty hot) but the train car we sat in was open so we had a nice breeze most of the time. Connor loved it and we made it home in just enough time for baths and bed--Perfect!

Charlotte and the conductor had a thing going.

I've never been into blonds except this cute one! (oh yeah, bro Kevin, you're cute too--:)

We also went to the Dallas World Aquarium a few days before. It was ok if you like paying $60 to follow thousands of people in line at a snails pace past the exhibit (aka don't go on a holiday). But Connor loved it and I thought this pic was great.
