Unfortunately, Landri did NOT get the memo.
She pulled it out of the drawer and cried until I put it on.
Little did I know she would wear it for an hour.
While drinking her juice...
Watching Peppa on my iPad...
Watching Sophia on the TV in the bedroom...
She didn't really get it until I told her we had to get dressed to go ride the "horsies" (aka Carousel at the Parks Mall in Arlington). LOL.
Since Braden was like 2, riding the carousel has been one of his most favorite things we do as a family treat. So, when I realized we wouldn't be swimming to fill in the hours before we met up with Ashley and the boys or a playdate in Arlington, this was PERFECT!
Grubbin' on Chik-fil-A in the Food Court
Ridin' the "Horsies" and many other animals (lol)
From there, we met up with Ashley and the boys (and later, her sweet momma, Terry) at Pump it Up Arlington and the kids got to play.....and play....
And PLAY....
Mason and Landri were SOOOOOOOO cute on the slide because he would literally wait at the bottom for her to slide down into him and they would giggle like it was the funniest thing in the world. Every. TIME! lol I caught my fearless, half-crazy girl following her bubba up a (no joke) TEN FOOT climbing wall and she MADE it. Completely by herself! WHAT?!?!?!? I could not believe it! Her brother had already run off to play with Madden or to play air hockey with another child he buddied up with, so she just continued on without him. I was beyond impressed (and slightly horrified!). I tried to get a video but my 4 year old iPhone was out of memory :(
From Pump It Up, we went to grab some McDonald's and let the kids play before I had to meet up with Jay to go to the Rangers' game.
Our kids were so bummed to say goodbye to each other, so Ashley and I made plans to find time the next day to get them together. And it was on to the Rangers' game!!!!!!
It was a nice, overcast, upper 70's evening which is beyond a rarity in DFW this time of year so we felt blessed. Also, we know our kids, and how long they can tolerate sitting in one place so we bought tix to the Ballpark Kids' Zone. It's this enormous, indoor (air conditioned!) park for young kiddoes and Braden loved it last summer so we had to try it again, especially since Landri was old enough to play there now.
Needless to say, they had a great time.
Peek-A
BOO!
TEAM HARVILL! Don't mess w/us!
Again, fearless...
Fun with the air shooter
While we were in there, two innings had gone by and we were already down (to stinky butt Cleveland! of all teams) by 4 runs. Well, did we really want to walk all the way to the opposite side of the ballpark plus up to the very top just to watch us lose for another 2-3 innings since that's as long as the kids last? No. So, instead, we made use of the remodeled stadium and sat in the centerfield open seating area. They have lots of tables set up in front of an enormous Jumbotron so you can watch the game while eating from the concessions that surround it. SUCH an awesome idea!
Her first ballpark frank!
Then, some of the "big head" guys who do the dot race came out to visit us :) and scare the crap out of some fans, too.....they are mondo-creepy!
Save me, Daddy!
Braden was okay with Davy!
And he LOVED Earl Campbell!
<3
We stayed until the other team scored like, I don't know. 10???? runs? Ugh, but we had great, memorable evening :)
