Big Splash at the Ballet

Mimi and Pops were kind enough to take us to see "Alice and Wonderland" at the ballet in Downtown Dallas at the Winspear Opera house:

To say you guys had a blast would be an understatement! The Ballet was a big splash!

You were dancing before we even got to our seats!

The show- including the pit, the program, the chandelier, the live music, and -of course- the crazy ballet costumes and production were amazing!

You guys loved the show, and loved picking out which dancers were which animals.

After the show, Julia, you said you wanted to be a "Ballerina Archaeologist" when you grew up.

Aidan, you were so into the dancing that you couldn't wait to show off your new skills to some young ladies you met. In fact, you performed for them and yelled "Clap for me!"

Outside the Winspear, you found the water feature, and the real splashing dancing (splash-dance?) began!

What an important date! We wish you a very merry un-actual day reminder of this fun, artistic, splashy day.

Parks and Recreation

All weekends come and go. Sometimes, though, we really go, go, go! This weekend we had double adventures at some of our favorite parks.

On Saturday, the four of us went to Klyde Warren for a bunch of splashing in the sun, and some sweet treats, which were sweetly shared.

And where shall we go on our next adventure? The next day, I packed some PB&Js, and the three of us headed to the Children's Garden at the Arboretum, where, you guessed it, we went splashing in the sun and had some sweet treats. We also did a lot of exploring, found a hidden puppet theater, and tried our hand at some new things we haven't done before, like the kaleidoscope, hedge maze building, and tessellations.

As I look back at these pictures and see the joy on your faces, I'm reminded how much I love exploring this city and this world with you. I hope our journeys together will continue for a long, long time.
