Week 13

Week 13 was full of Daddy!!!! We celebrated Junior's 33rd birthday. On Sat. we spent the morning with Mema and Mimi. Mema made a delicious lunch for all of us and Mimi surprised Daddy with his favorite, a red velvet cake! After leaving Mema's house, we headed to Grapevine for a little family fun! The Gaylord Texan Resort was having a summer fair. We strolled the atriums of the beautiful hotel. Claire loved looking at the motorized trains and all the water fountains. Then Claire got her arm painted with a picture of Tinkerbell! In fact, we still have Tink on our arm this morning. She won't let me wash her off! Once we were finished touring the summer fair, we went back home to have a yummy dinner at Jinbeh ( a Japanese steakhouse). Claire LOVED it! She thought the chef was hilarious even though his remarks were not for little ears!

The biggest hit of the weekend was the Ringling Brothers Circus! Claire and I had never been to the "big" circus before. It was truly amazing! Junior always went to the circus for his birhtday as a child, so it brought back lots of fun memories for him. Claire LOVED the elephants, but she also wanted to know where the cows were. I guess she is a true Texan!!! We had nothing but junk food for dinner and it was heavenly! Who could ask for more: nachos, popcorn, cotton candy (although it was $12, but you got a really cool big circus hat along with purchase), snowcones and cokes! I was really surprised that Claire actually feel asleep on the way home after all that sugar!

Week 13 was great! Happy week babies!
