October 20: I had to say goodbye to my family today. It always makes me so emotional, but thank goodness it's the last time for a long time since we will be moving back to Texas in May for a few years {at least}. My dad drove Connor and me to Waco to meet Aaron's sister so she could drive us back to DFW. It was the perfect meeting spot since my dad could work out of Waco that day. We had lunch at Whataburger before parting ways. When we got to DFW, Connor napped and then went swimming with Pappy. We went out later that night for sushi and ice cream.
Connor had a buddy for the drive to DFW.
Left: Pappy bought Connor an American Airlines Lego airplane, so Connor had to build it ASAP. Auntie Sissy helped him. Right: Blowing bubbles...in his undies... with Frozen floaties.
He is doing great at going under water and holding his breath.
October 21: Taking fall pictures at the pumpkin patch was one of the things I really wanted to do while in DFW. The Dallas Arboretum has one of the best ones I have seen, so I requested that we go. Everyone wanted to join in on the fun, so Pappy, Omi, Auntie Sissy, Uncle Ryan, Connor, and myself all went. It was so busy, but we got some pretty cute pictures of Connor with the pumpkins. After the pumpkin patch, we went to Golden China for dinner. My favorite! I am seriously so spoiled every time I go back home to Texas.
Taking a ride on the four wheeler in the neighborhood while everyone got ready.
Such a pretty place. I can't wait to go next year when Aaron can join us.
We made it to the pumpkins!
Look who found the water...
October 22: Carol and I spent the morning/early afternoon shopping at Nebraska Furniture Mart and a few other places, while Connor stayed with Pappy. He took him shopping for a fishing pole and then they went fishing. We later heard that it was extremely difficult with a toddler. He has no patience and is more of an instant gratification kinda' guy. Later that evening my other sister-in-law Taylor came over and we had a wonderful BBQ dinner.
Connor liked fishing with Uncle Ryan and Pappy.
There's Taylor. :)
October 22: Carol, Taylor, and I had a girls day consisting of shopping, wine, and food. It was wonderful.
Love the bubbly.
Thanks to me, I'm hungry now and want to eat this food all over again.
October 24: We didn't do anything this day but stay home and relax. It was nice to have a day of rest.
October 25: Our last day in DFW was spent with Aaron's mom. We spent the day relaxing at her apartment, she treated us to Panera for lunch, and we went on a walk at sunset. Connor had fun playing with Lola {her dog} and making sure the neighbors underneath her knew he was there. Let's just say we will never live in an apartment.
Cheers Mimi!
XOXO,
Jenn
