Dallas weekend...

Lillie in Dallas. Check out that shirt. I bought it at the Dallas airport on my way home from Austin.

We met the worlds tallest man.

Chris and Lillie ran into Patrick, weird.

Look Lillie... Tiger Woods.


Queso dipped rattle. The only way to teeth.

Isiah and Lillie after lunch.


Lillie's first tortilla. It made me nervous that she was going to choke, but she actually chewed with her gums.


Probally one of the weekend highlights. The hotel sent Draven milk, cookies, and a card.


Lillie ready for her first night in a hotel. She slept great.

This was over by our parking spot.

Lillie was such a good sport.





On our way to Dallas Lillie and I hung out while the boys shopped.

I don't have a lot of good Draven pics. Since he felt so bad I tried not to push it.

Oh, it feels good to be home. After only three nights home from Austin, we headed out to Dallas. This time the trip was for Draven's 13th birthday! Since I was gone during his actual birthday we made it up with a special trip. Draven took his friend Isiah with us. The trip started out great. We hit the outlet mall (which sucks) but we still always stop. Lillie hung out with me while the boys shopped. Then we went to Denton so we could eat at my favorite diner Ruby's. IT sucked too. It was so bad that we got my dinner refunded. Draven wanted to stop in Denton to do some antiquing. He hit two awesome stores that carry knight stuff and army stuff... his favorites! We ended up at our hotel just in time to check in and leave for dinner. When we arrived I was shocked to see all of these freaks in costume. There was an anime fest going on at our hotel. I have never seen so many losers in one location. It was quite scary. Next we headed to Medieval Times for dinner. Draven has been wanting to go there for years! We finally did it and it was awesome! Draven started to complain that he had an upset stomach which lead to three days of vomiting, fever, cramps and the worse diarrhea I have ever seen. Poor kid. HE was such a good sport. After dinner we went swimming at the hotel. The freaks were out so we made it short. The next day we went to Fort Worth and stopped at the Ripley's museum. Our night out was short lived thanks to Draven's stomach issues. We decided to keep it simple for the evening so we ordered in pizza and had dessert at the hotel. The freaks had decided to start throwing stuff off the balconies from nine stories up and they were landing in the restaurant below. I am surprised no one got hurt. They through a huge glass vase down and it crashed on the marble floor. I am just glad no one was injured. They also through a cake that splattered all over the place making the floors slippery. At some point in time that night they did something to the pool too. I never heard what happened there but in the morning it was drained. We high tailed it home as Draven was struggling with his stomach. We were all glad to get home. I think Draven had a great time, but not as much fun as his pirate birthday with his bubba's.
