Family Vaca 2017: Part 1 Texas

Bo's brother Sonny and his wife Emily are so good to come visit often, so we decided it would be fun to go out and visit them and see what life in Oklahoma is like.

Day 1: We flew into Dallas because it was a few hours away from where they lived and thought it would be cool to spend a few days there and see the city. The flight went really well and I have to say that this vacation was our best yet.  The kids are the perfect ages for family fun....Can I just freeze time for now?...I do love watching the kids grow, but they still enjoy family time and I love being together.

The kids chomping down before the flight.  They were so EXCITED to go!

Day 2:  6th Floor Museum.  This museum is a walk through the final day of JFK's life and all that transpired after.  It was an audio tour, our favorite. The kids loved walking around with their headsets all to themselves, although Caleb got a bit bored before the end.

Here are some pics.  We weren't allowed to take pictures in the main museum so there aren't as many as I'd have liked:

This center lane is where JFK was shot.  If you look close you can see 2 white X's on the road that represents where it was.

Just some cool picks of the older part of Dallas

Old and new city

Sonny and his family met up with us that night and we ate at a pretty cool restaurant called Hard Eight. You bought the meat by the pound and then picked the sides you wanted.  We also swam a lot at the hotel but no pics.

Day 3: Klyde Warren Park, more swimming and a Rangers Game.

The guys went early.  Conrad and Bo both got a ball.

It was so hot!

So close to seeing the 3000th hit.

Hailey LOVED the game :) :)

Day 4: Six Flags.  The kids hadn't ever been to an amusement park and were really nervous but super excited at the same time.  It was a success!  They all went on lots of rides and had a blast.  Although, Bo texted me near the end of the day and said, "We may have broke Jackson."  They went on Mr. Freeze and it was a bit too scary for him.  He was freaked out there for a bit.  Hailey loved the swings that went up 400 feet.  Conrad loved all the scary ones.  The Texas Giant, Batman, and Mr. Freeze.  Brayden and Caleb loved the Justice League.  I had fun riding a couple big rides but had more fun watching the kids.  It was a REALLY hot day though and we decided that we won't do an amusement park in July again. :) I wish we would have taken more pictures.

At the end of the day we drove to Elgin, Oklahoma.
