Visit From Texas...

Can you imagine how fantastic it was to see my friends from Texas today? I can only say YIPPEEE!! Cecilu, Jade and her mother-in-law were driving from Texas to Minnesota and guess where they stopped for the night? YES, Kansas City! So, we definitely met them for dinner.

It was awesome seeing their faces! Lillian was thrilled to see Jade and went running to her in the T-Rex Cafe. And that was the icing on top of a great afternoon...both girls got to go to T-Rex Cafe. It was Jade and Lydia's first visit and Lillian hasn't been since she was 2 1/2 years old. So, it was brand new to her too! All the girls loved it and had a ball digging for dinosaurs, playing dinosaur computer games and just enjoying the scenery.

T-Rex is awesome and the restaurant is amazing! Each dining area is a different theme and all the dinosaurs come to life every 30 minutes. Lydia just kept saying, "Mama Mama!" and pointing to everything moving back and forth. She loved it! The girls had a blast having dinner together and we all got a good laugh at Lydia enjoying her mac-n-cheese. She smeared it all over the booth, all down her dress, all over her face and in general everywhere she could touch! :) One hot mess!

We left the restaurant and headed right to Coldstone Creamery for yummy ice cream. The girls enjoyed every bite and you know who was the messiest again...Lydia! All over her face and down her dress again. I thought I was going to have to buy her another dress to wear home! She was so excited after dinner that she walked out the door jumping up and down and just tripped and smacked her head into the pavement. Poor thing! She went to bed with a nice bump on her forehead. She needs a helmet!

We headed to the fountain for some water fun. It is a fountain that shoots water up and down and the kiddos normally play in the water and throw coins in the water too. Jade was soaked and loved every minute! Lillian and Jade were grabbing the pennies back out of the water and throwing them back in for some more fun. They all ran around and then Lydia ran right into a chair! She whacked her head again! She needs a helmet! Did I say that already?

Then, it was time to say good bye. Man! Didn't they just get here? Seeing Cecilu tonight was awesome and I was thrilled she took the time to stop in Kansas City. I hope to see them on their way home from Minnesota. Thanks Cecilu for thinking of us and see you soon! You know what? It made me miss TX more and all my dear friends we left behind!!!! I love my friends!!!
