Northbound I-35

A few weekends ago Taylor and I set off for Fort Worth and left Chris at home.  We really wanted to take him but since our adventures started midweek it became a girls trip.

She’s learned to kick back and relax on car rides just like her Momma

    

We had to stop at the monkeys and orangutans for Aunt KK

Flamingos ~ gorgeous tigers ~ Tay & I near the kangaroos

After the zoo and some time playing at Aunt Desha’s house, I refreshed Taylor’s memory of snow cones.  When given flavor choices she picked ‘purple’ aka grape.  Again I am thankful she can feed herself so I got to enjoy my own snow cone.  (did i mention that we made a detour the next night for another snow cone?)

 

Then some much need cousin time at Nana’s house

                 

And watching Kailee’s dance recital.  Taylor kept saying ‘I dance too’ and still talks about watching Kailee dance in her prayers each night.  I forget how fun it is to watch little girl dance recitals.  We got some good laughs from watching them and I got some good girl name ideas from the program.

We ended the weekend by celebrating my cousin’s graduation from SMU Law school.  It seems like just yesterday we were playing Barbie's at Granny’s house and now she is studying to take the bar… crazy! It was an awesome weekend but we were glad to get back home to Chris and head southbound on I-35.  The snow cone stands of HEB are safe from the Lambert girls until we return again.
