Stay-cation part 2

We road the train in the stockyards that goes over the trinity river and down past 7th street and Trinity park then back. We did upgrade to a cart with AC since is was 100 that day, and Tinsley still has to wear her 'crown'.



We also did a little shopping while we were down in the stock yards! I love it down there it is so fun and timeless.

Here are some pictures from her First 4th of July. We went with Ethan's mom and sister and her family to the Trinity River festival and there were a ton of people!!




We also went to NRH20, here is a picture of her and her cute swimsuit! She was ok with the water but did not love it. Hopefully next year she will enjoy the swimming pool more.

Stay-cation

Ethan took a week off of work so we could have a little family vacation. We had a few things planned but it was so hot... and still is! We went to the children's aquarium, NRH2O, the Texas Discovery Gardens, we road the train in the stock yards, and walked around Grapevine Mills Mall.

She loved the aquarium!! Since we went with Daddy, we have been back with aunt Alesia and the boys. I have also taken her to Cabela's to look at the fish there. I think it is safe to say she loves fish!! Here is a picture of her with the aligator snapping turtle that is about 60 years old.


There is an area where you can feed the stingrays and Ethan took her down to see them, I think they thought it was eating time again because they were swimming right up to the glass and splashing around. She thought that was great and smiled and laughed at them. Maybe when she is older I will let her feed them. Here is their picture with the stingrays.


Since we were in Dallas we went across the way to the Texas Discovery Gardens to see the butterfly exhibit. There were a ton of butterflys!! She did not seem to excited about them but it was also really warm and humid in there.

Quick 7 mo update



Tinsley is now 7 months old and growing like a weed!! I can not believe how big she is getting!! She is now 22lbs and I can totally tell my arms are getting stronger! She is eating two 'meals' a day and still getting her formula. We had a mini stay-cation since she is to little to travel and enjoy things. Next year we plan to go to the beach and then Disney! I can not wait!!

More to come as soon as I get an extra 5 minutes! lol
