This Spring Break we headed down to Dallas to visit some dear friends. Our first stop was at JC's. We had a chocolate fest and visited the Dallas Arboretum. It was BEAUTIFUL!! We had a great time, from there we headed to Annette's. We also visited the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens-had a picnic and hit the local Krispy Kreme-a favorite!!

One of our many chocolate meals. This is "THE RECIPE"- Bernice's famous chocolate recipe for pancakes. CT was so excited that Bernice was making it this time. :) We also had chocolate pie and biscuits and chocolate gravy- Not all in one day of course.

Loaded up in the Tahoe headed to the Arboretum.

CT and Luke waiting patiently to go inside.

Stopping to smell the tulips.


I am so impressed the CT actually went in and touched the sheep.

KG steering Captain Hook's ship.

Hansel and Gretel's house.

Treasure Island.

JC and me hanging out on the lawn. It was such a pretty day.

Sharing icees. Well, the sharing part was a little hard for the little ones, but everyone got some.

KG, Mommy, and CT. The flowers were so pretty!!

Hiding in the bamboo. This was associated with a Japanese fairy tale.

There were tulips EVERYWHERE!! My favorite!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! No better way to celebrate than with a trip to Krispy Kreme. :)

Throwin' down the Kreme's. Of course they were WIRED afterwards.

Grace and CT. :)

Good friends and all our off spring.

Darla, Annette, and me.

KG and Grace enjoying their ice cream cones. Grace's is breaking. She was getting a little upset. :) I would have too.

CT and Aiden. Aiden's ice cream fell on that ball, and he licked it right off of there. Atta Boy-There is no need to let good ice cream go to waste. :)
We had such a GREAT time! Thanks for letting us come.
