Do the Booty Dance!

The kids and I packed up the car and drove to McKinney, Texas to visit family a couple of weeks ago. What a great time. The kids got to see their cousins, Jonah and Meredith. Kayla and Jonah played so well together. I love the fact that they are so close in age and really enjoy being around one another. The two played on the computer, ate popcorn, watched a movie or two, dug for dinosaurs at the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science (which was an adventure...check out The Daily Stroll Blog for more details), dressed up as firemen at the Dallas Children's Museum, went swimming and wore each other out.

During our stay in McKinney, we ventured to an awesome water park one of the days. Christian actually stayed at the house with Uncle Jerod while Kayla, Jonah, Monda and I headed out for a day in the sun. For the first time, Kayla went under water on her own and began swimming. WOW! I was so proud of her. She was so excited. (Thanks Jonah for helping her overcome her fear) Once she got the hang of it, it was no stopping her. Jonah and her went down the slide, swam the lazy river, and swam under the water trying to get various objects. After several hours of fun, we headed back home. Monda and I figured they would pass out on the way home. As we got closer to home, we decided to stop for yogurt since they were still up. We each got a bowl of some yummy yogurt topped with gummy bears, sprinkles and cookies. As we ate our treat, the kids decided to start dancing and singing in the middle of the yogurt shop....."Do the Booty dance, booty dance!" Yes, they were the center of attention. Too cute! I so wish I had a video camera to capture the priceless memories. The kids never fell asleep for a nap that day. Yes, it was an early night. We were ALL exhausted. The next day the kids went swimming while I packed up the car to head back home. Once they returned we headed back to Georgetown. Before we even made it out of McKinney, both Christian and Kayla passed out (Thank you Uncle Jerod and Lauran). Good sign that they had a great time.
