late wednesday night, we made the decision to get out of town for a few days of the kids' spring break...and the great state of texas was the choice! dallas, to be exact! the idea of a spontaneous getaway is sooo against my grain...but i have to say, it all worked out, and we had a fantastic time! we left dodger with my parents, and headed out on thursday. we experienced six flags, and some shopping at the galleria, in addition to lots of great food, and an occasional swim (austin chose to watch march madness instead)! at six flags, austin and coleman won two basketballs each, after hampton won two stuffed toys! we left the park with only two balls, as the boys were generous enough to each give a ball away! the boys stood in line to ride the texas titan roller coaster for a mere two hours, while hampton and i visited 4 characters (twice), rode several rides, and had ice cream. hmmm...i think the girls had more fun! we spent (what coleman would say...was waaay too much) time shopping at the wonderful dallas galleria, the following day. we all "experienced" the american girl store, where hampton chose a new american girl doll, among other things (she has her daddy wrapped)! the boys found new shoes and clothes, much more quickly...and look forward to sporting their new duds this week! what a fun time with the family! back to a schedule tomorrow!
