Vacation 2012

We took our first family vacation this summer.  We wanted somewhere that wasn't too long of a drive, but far enough away to make it feel like we've been on vacation.  We chose Fort Worth.  This was Logan's first road trip and their first time in a hotel. 

The kids were so good!  We stopped in Allen to do some shopping at the outlet mall.  Of course, we bought mostly kids stuff!  We then drove on to our hotel.  Both of the kids were so excited to be in a hotel. They were rolling on the bed, squealing, and laughing hysterically- it was hilarious to watch them! 

Another little funny thing, the hotel elevator made a loud beep as it passed each floor.  For some reason, Logan found this entertaining and would let out a huge cackle every time.  We tried to go swimming in the indoor pool, but it was freezing cold!  The indoor, heated pool advertised on the website was one of the main reasons we chose that hotel, we were a little disappointed. Hailey and her Rapunzel doll got to sleep in the big bed with mommy and daddy while Logan slept in playpen.  She thought that was pretty neat, me not so much.  Nothing like getting kicked, yes kicked, in the face at 3am.  Girl is a wild sleeper! 

The next morning we got up and went to the Fort Worth Zoo.  Hailey was so excited to see all the animals. Her favorites were the giraffes. 

It was very hot and pretty crowded at the zoo that day (field trip day), but this boy did awesome.  The only time he got a little fussy was right before he passed out for a nap. 

 Hailey was a good girl too.  She got to stop by the gift shop and pick an animal.  Of course, she wanted a giraffe--a pink one!
