Texas...part 1

Jenna and I left right after school let out for the summer to spend 12 days in Texas visiting my sisters and their families. We had been looking forward to the trip for months and were so excited when June 10th finally arrived. We flew from Columbus to Dallas, and everything about our trip went so smoothly - no delays, no waiting, no turbulance, no hassles, and blue skies and puffy clouds the whole way there. Brenda, Carsyn, and Payton picked us up at the DFW airport and then we began our first adventure....a trip to the American Girl store in Dallas.


Jenna and Lanie....

Payton and her Bitty Baby named "Strawberry Snow Brenda Kay Elliott" ...

The next morning we took off for Fort Worth to shop at Sam Moon. I have heard Brenda talk about the store for almost 2 years and couldn't wait to go....and it definitely didn't disappoint - a whole store full of nothing but accessories - jewelry, bags, purses, hair bows and flowers, hats, belts, and sunglasses.

Jenna picked out lots of fun hair accessories like these fun headbands with flowers.....

Payton got one too....and some fabulous clip on earrings....

Then we were off to the Ft Worth Stockyards ....which meant lunch at one of my favorite places - Riscky's BBQ!

We ate outside and the "balloon clown" visited the girls and made things for them....
