Play Day

With most everything accomplished for our planned departure on Thursday, I decided to take a day out for a little fun with the girls.

So, this morning, Karen and I loaded up Kourtney, Lauren, and Melanie, a friend of Lauren's, and we headed out for the

American Girl Doll Store in Dallas.  While the big girls were off shopping, Kourtney had a great time playing.  She

bathed her Bitty Baby.  She

cooked cookies and had

had a tea party. 

Lauren took one of her dolls

to the spa for a little clean up.  And...

When our shopping spree was over, all three girls had found everything on their shopping lists and we left with

a big bag full of goodies.

While in Dallas, Karen and I made a stop by Penzey's  for a few needed spices and a few new ones we wanted to try.

By this time, the girls decided that all the shopping had left them really hungry, so it was off to Chili's for lunch.

It was then time to make our way back to Fort Worth.  Once back to the house, we had just enough time to catch our breath before heading out to Mansfield to Zachary's first baseball game of the Jim Sunburg Invitational Tournament.

We arrived and found Zachary at his favorite position,

first base.  He made a couple of really

great plays.   And, even took one

for the team at his turn at bat.

Great game Zachary...glad Poppa and I had the chance to see one of your games.  Good luck with the rest of the tournament.  And...

What a fun day this has been!
