There was a lot of swimming involved during this visit, but we did get to do some fun things. On Friday, we just hung out at the house and the kids swam. M and I also got into the pool because it was so hot to be in there.
This little guy is a firecracker.
The next day, they decided to get into the pool right after breakfast. I love seeing these guys get along. They mostly like to play with each other, but like any other relationship, they also love getting on each others' nerves. But 90% of the time, they are best buddies.
Love these laughing faces!
For lunch, we decided to go eat on the Marina. It was nice until it got too hot. Haha!
This guy got cranky and fell asleep in the car on the way back from lunch. Nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby.
After dinner, they decided to get in the water again. See? Lots of swimming involved...
We didn't do much on Sunday so I didn't take any picture except for this sweet one of Alex and his Uncle. These two are buddies. Alex obviously likes him more than me...
Monday morning started out as a nice day. I went and had my morning coffee outside. We planned on spending the afternoon at Dove Pool so the boys can go on the slides, play in the pool and all that good stuff.
It was great for about an hour before the lightning alarm went off. We decided to pack it up and hang out at home the rest of the time. I'm sure there's more swimming involved at the house, but I didn't get any pictures.
The next day, we ventured out and visited the Dallas Arboretum and the Rory Meyers Children's Garden. We couldn't ask for a more beautiful day to be at one of the most beautiful places in Dallas. Thank you mid-summer cold front!
There were these bronze statues placed throughout the Garden to celebrate childhood. They were so life-like.
This is what I get for asking my brother to pose with his son...
Another beautiful statue and more colorful flowers...
This little guy relented and let me take a picture of him.
More statues....
This was my favorite statue of all the ones I saw.
We finally made it to the Children's Garden!
Then they wanted to get wet so we found a great fountain for then to play in...
I'd say they had fun....
Later that evening, Kho took Nicole out to dinner to celebrate her birthday and we got to keep the boys. They had fun playing outside.
Of course we had to take a little road trip to Magnolia Market! Thank you again mid-summer cold front for cooling it down to 90 degrees. We had great weather and the crowd was small for Magnolia standards
When we got home, we had some homemade cookies and this guy really enjoyed it!
On Thursday, we celebrated Benjamin's 7th birthday! I took him to pick out a toy at Toy Maven but he didn't find anything he liked so we drove to Target. He picked out the classic Rock 'em Sock 'em Robot.
Then we celebrated with cake after dinner!
For the rest of their trip, we just swam some more and hung out at the house. They left super early this morning. We miss them already.
