Rake it up, Baby!

The girls wanted to help Dennis this morning and Amity actually made some good progress on making piles of leaves.  Vivien preferred to just run and jump into the piles rather than working.

Visit to Bass Pro Santa

Last year was the only year in five years that we have not had a picture with the Bass Pro Santa and it was because we got there too late one night.  In an effort to avoid this same CATASTROPHE, the girls and I drove to Rockwall at 3:00 on Friday afternoon and waited in line for a hour and a half before Dennis arrived from work to meet us.  We waited another 30 mintues before it was finally our turn.  The girls were once again in awe and took a really cute copyrighted picture that I will not post here.  Afterwards, we enjoyed our annual free kids' meals in the adjoining restaurant with the huge fish tanks.  One of my favorite Christmas traditions!

Klyde Warren Park

After Amity's art class at the DMA, we walked across the street to the brand new Klyde Warren Park that was built OVER the Woodall Rodgers freeway.  I had heard great things about it and it definitely lived up to all of the praise.  We loved playing in the children's area, buying lunch from a food truck and eating on the lawn, and checking out the books in the reading section.  It is such a great oasis in the middle of the city and we can't wait to go back!
