Park

It was such a gorgeous day yesterday, we took a walk to the park. We loaded up Rylan's stroller with snacks and drinks then headed to the park. We have a really great trail right behind our house and it leads directly to the park. Rylan went down all the slides including the tallest one there. Then we ran a little ways on the trail. When we got home, Rylan was out for a really long nap.

Rainforest Cafe

After going to the Gaylord, we decided to go eat dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. Rylan enjoyed looking at the animals especially when they went crazy. We sat by the gorillas, which she named one Daddy, Mommy and Rylan. We also saw Nemo in the fish tank.

Gaylord Texan in Grapevine

Last night Ryan, Rylan, and I went to the Gaylord in Grapevine. The hotel was decked out for Christmas. First we went through ICE! It wasn't as cold as I thought it was going to be, I guess I prepared myself well for it. Plus they gave us big coats on top of the coats we brought. It was so cool, everything was made out of ice. Rylan went down the ice slide. She couldn't get going on her bottom so she decided to go down head first. After ICE we walked around the hotel. We got to see and get a picture with Santa in his workshop. We saw Mrs. Claus with the reindeer. We got to pet the reindeer. Rylan wasn't satisfied with just petting, she wanted to feed them. They also took our picture there. Then we saw a huge Christmas tree, some trains, and a gingerbread house. It was really pretty! We all enjoyed it and it put us in the Christmas mood.

Thanksgiving in Athens

We celebrated Thanksgiving early with my Nana in Athens. We went down there on Sunday to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family and watch the football game. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. We ate a lot, played, took a nap, ate some more and played some more. We also helped Nana put up her Christmas tree. What enjoyable day!

Happy Birthday Aunt Lesli

We went to dinner and celebrate Aunt Lesli's birthday Saturday night. That was the first time that ALL (Grammy, Grampy, Brent, Lesli, Luke, Logan, Ryan, Me, and Rylan) of us have been together in a long time. It was so much fun!

Aunt Jen's B-Day

We celebrated Aunt Jen's birthday a couple of weeks ago! Happy Birthday Aunt Jen!

Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween! We went across the street to Kathy's house for Halloween. We hot dogs, chili, tons of snacks, and lots of candy to hand out. We sat in the front drive and passed out candy. The kids got treat bags from Grammy and Grampy. Then we went around the block to go trick or treating. Grammy, Grampy, Uncle Brent, Aunt Lesli, Luke and Logan came over to join in the fun. Rylan dressed up as Abby, Luke was a race car driver and Logan was Diego. They had a great time going door to door saying trick or treat!

Halloween Party

Every year Ryan's uncle has a Halloween party. All the adults get dressed up and have a really good time. There is a band and a dance floor and everyone plays the part of their costume.

Boo at the Zoo

We went to Boo at the Zoo at the Fort Worth Zoo with Grammy, Grampy, Uncle Brent, Aunt Lesli, Luke, and Logan. The kids enjoyed looking at the animals, getting treats from the treat stands, and playing on the playground! It was a lot of fun! Can't wait to go back next year

Halloween Lights

At Quick Trip Park, they had Halloween Lights set up, so we went to check it out. They weren't the greatest, but Rylan enjoyed it. She liked looking at the lights and jumping in the bounce house.

Arboretum

We went to the Dallas Arboretum to visit the pumpkin patch with Grammy and Grampy. They had a house made out of pumpkins, a maze that Rylan loved to go through, little houses that you could go in and play, a covered wagon to get into and lots of beautiful flowers to look at. Rylan really enjoyed the large open areas to run, the houses to play in and getting lost in the maze. It was just a great time and the weather was perfect! We want to go back and have a picnic and stay longer.

Luke's Soccer Game

Luke started playing soccer. So Rylan loves to go watch him play. She only lasts about 10 minutes before she wants to run around and chase Logan.
