After teaching Sunday school, Philip and I planned on taking one of his directors and his wife to a Ranger's game. But as with most things when you have two kids things are never that simple. We decided to ask Philip's parents to watch the kids for the long afternoon, but instead of asking them to drive all the way to our home we decided to get a hotel room in Arlington for them to hang out at while we were at the game.
It worked out really well and we decided to just go ahead and make a tiny vacation out of it.
The grandparents kept Raegan and Cameron entertained at bass pro shop in Grapevine before swimming at the hotel. Philip and I enjoyed the game with friends in Chick-fil-A's suite even though the Rangers didn't win.
Back at the hotel, Raegan loved the idea of getting to sleep on the pull out couch and Cameron seemed excited about exploring a new environment. I suggested we just order pizza or eat at the restaurant in the hotel, but Philip thought going out to a Hibachi place sounded better. (He was so wrong ;)
Dinner was an awful experience from the overdone filets to children throwing food and spilling drinks. Philip tried to make up for it by taking me to get a milkshake afterwards. Back at the hotel Raegan fell asleep watching Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs while we watched the 2nd game of the Finals.
Perhaps the best part of the entire trip was (besides Cameron waking up briefly to nurse) we got to sleep till 8am! So sad that this makes me so incredibly happy but sleeping till 8 is so very rare at our house! We were out of the hotel by 9:20 and decided to spend our Monday at the new Perot museum in Dallas.
Here are a few pics from our visit; we are driving home now and I'm just wishing these kiddos would fall asleep for a nap!
