Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This St. Patrick's Day proved to be anything but LUCKY for us! Our original plans were to head to the Ft. Worth Zoo. Little did we know it is the biggest, most busiest day for this zoo, more police are stationed throughout the zoo and it takes hours just to find a parking place. Thankfully, we heard all this on the news and decided against the Zoo.

We did however think it would be a great day to head to the Ft. Worth Museum of Science and History. Once again, we didn't anticipate the traffic headed towards the Ft. Worth Zoo. We sat in this for a bit before my mom decided to take a short cut through the city. Luckily, we stumbled upon Chipotle for lunch - a first-time treat for my mom and kids. They loved it! Afterwards we headed to the Museum. Lucky for us, there was a 45 minute wait just to get in and waits for each exhibit! Can you believe our luck on this lucky day?!

So we headed towards home... on our way, we decided to stop by Dallas Heritage Village. We get there just in time for them to close in 45 minutes. Our luck just keeps getting better! Did you know that when you get there just before they close, you don't have to pay? That was nice! We quickly made our way through the Village, snapped a few pictures and headed home with the intent to take the kids to the park. At this point, the kids have been in the car almost all day long.

We call the men and tell them to meet us at the house; we were grabbing dinner and going to the park. Did you know EVERYONE else would be at the exact park we wanted to play at? Change of plans yet again! We grabbed dinner and ice cream, found a park that wasn't overly crowded and let the kids run and play. As I was sitting back watching them play, I realized they were playing frisbee and climbing rocks in a nearby pond, neither of which are the PARK. lol. They were having fun though! I guess anything is more fun than being cooped-up in the car jabbing your siblings because their arm crossed the line, or their breathing was too loud, or their cough was too close to your space. Gotta love 'em!

It sounds like a rotten day, and it was in it's own way, but the kids were understandable and cooperative, which made the day a bit more tolerable. They were very well behaved too!

That hot popcorn was calling Colton's name. Unfortunately they were closed for the day.

Courtnie in the old school house. She was very excited... she read one page of their book!

The Saloon proved to be troublesome for Cameron, we had escort him out!
