we took a mini-trip up to ft. worth this weekend to visit with mama lola and papa jack and because our minneapolis contingent was down for a visit. annie got yet another birthday party and we had fun getting the kiddos together for some good cousin time.
the theme of the weekend inadvertantly became "cowboys", as we did a number of activities that involved the wild west...or southwest, as it were.
saturday we drove in to old ft. worth and watched the marching of the longhorn. got a cowboy hat. or two. some of us had a run-in with "big jake". (by the way, see how his tail is lifted in that pic with nicki? oh yes he DID.) landed in a bar with saddle stools. quenched our thirst. then we headed home for a chik-fil-a lunch followed by birthday cake and a few more goods for the birthday girl, who proclaims, "i like being 4!" had some down time and then geared up to go to a local steak house/cowboy house/mad house. this place was rockin'. with a dance floor, a giant slide and a "happy birthday" every 10 minutes, annie was sure she landed in birthday heaven. and the steaks were tastylicious to boot.
sunday was cinnamon rolls and football, followed by a little taste of thanksgiving: turkey, stuffin', and sweet potaters. enough to put us all in to a food coma. just in time to get in to the car and drive our tired butts home and get ready for a new week.
next stop: south dakota in 2 days. and ONE MORE birthday party for annie. stay tuned.
