I had decided it had been too long since the Cramer clan had made the trek up to Dallas. We miss all our friends and try to go every once in a while to visit everyone who is so nice to come see us in Austin. After an absolutely horrific 6 hour and 46 minute drive (I won't go into details as it's too painful to talk about), things got a lot better once I finally made it to Big D! As I think back to my funfilled long weekend, it makes me laugh. All the planning, organizing, and scheduling I did before I drove up went right out the door. I don't think one set of plans stayed intact! Good thing we roll with the punches!
In Dallas, we stayed with our good friends, The Hinzes! They are wonderful and we're so lucky to be friends with them. I don't think there is a more hospitable couple out there. Jen & Rod have two children, Savannah (3 yrs old) and Will (11 months). They are the cutest, sweetest little kids. Sophie just loved playing with them. And I loved watching Sophie finally be a "girly-girl" with her new friend! They were too cute!
One of my "must dos" for the weekend was visiting the Dallas Arboretum. The Arboretum is one place in Dallas that is truly beautiful and the Autumn decorations were no exception. The weather was mild and Sophie & Savannah had a blast climbing the pumpkins, running through the pumpkin house, and completing the kid's maze.
Sophie & Savannah just loved the Indian corn. I managed to pull them away from running through the kiddie maze to snap a quick picture:
Jen and I couldn't stop laughing at our two peas in a pod! There was a stack of Indian corn as decoration in the maze, which the girls would move the ENTIRE pile and line it all on top of the hay, put it all back in the pile, and start the process over and over again! If only I could get in the mind of a 2-3 year old!
