1st Trip to the Dallas Zoo

Our first trip to the Dallas Zoo was a success. The best part of the trip for us was feeding and seeing the Giraffes. They came right up to the viewing stand and you could feed and pretty much pet them. Next time we go we will have to get some of the lettuce from the park rangers to feed them.  Sam also enjoyed the birds. They had an atrium where you could go in and they would actually allow the birds to stand on your shoulder or hand. He loved it and got a little upset when they would not stay on him.

Bumper Bowling for the First Time

What more do I need to say? Bumper Bowling, Yes please! Over the weekend we took Sam bumper bowling for the first time. He has been playing Wii bowling and told us that he wanted to go real bowling. So we made it happen. At the beginning he started out by doing the granny roll. By the end he was bowling like a pro. Well almost.

Plano Balloon Festival

A few weekends ago we had the opportunity to go with friends to the Plano Balloon Festival. It was the closest thing to a fair that we have been to in a long time. Sam and Joshua had a great time playing on all of the inflatable toys while the grow-ups were able to catch up and enjoy some good times. Thanks Bobby and Terra for taking us to such an amazing and wonderful event.
