After sleeping in a little on a Saturday morning, the boys played and watched a few Mickeys. Daddy joined us for a picnic lunch, and Lincoln and Beau were so excited! Sometimes food is way better when not eaten at a table!
We headed to Fort Worth for Will's 5th birthday party in the afternoon, and Lincoln couldn't get there fast enough. He kept asking, "How much longer until we get to Houston?" He was a little confused about our destination but held on to Will's gift with a death grip! Will and Linc were besties for a few years at Pre-School until his family moved to Fort Worth. We love getting to see them for special occasions. Linc was a little shy at first, and Beau acted like he was one of the guys!
Parties at Pump it Up are always fun! Lincoln was game for the giant slide right away, but it took Beau a little while to warm up. He finally needed Daddy to climb up with him to figure it out. The guys were supposed to go together, but Lincoln couldn't wait and Beau followed so Daddy had slide by himself . . . I wonder who was the most scared!!!!
One trip with Daddy was all it took for Beau, and he never looked back. He climbed up after Lincoln over and over to slide so many times. They mostly loved to slide on their tummies but occasionally slid on their backs while holding hands. The next activity room had different things to do, and Lincoln loved the simulated soccer. He and Beau were silly in a bounce house, and they took a break to build a dog house out of random blocks. They loved their pizza snack and cake, the party favors were a super hit! They sucked on their ring pops all the way back from Fort Worth!
We needed to grab dinner and tried out a BBQ place just name one of the top 5 in Dallas. Lockhart's Smokehouse did not disappoint! The boys loved the smoked turkey, and the brisket and jalapeno mac & cheese was superb! Yummy dinner!
It seems like after the excitement of a birthday party and a dinner in a new place would be enough for a Saturday, but we had tickets to the Stars hockey game. That is a real treat for the boys, and they think hockey games are super cool. Uncle Matt hooked us up with awesome seats just 15 rows off the glass, and the Stars scored three times!!!! I'm pretty sure Lincoln's favorite part is the 7-11 Slurpee blimp (hot air balloon, according to him) that floats above us and shoots out Slurpee coupons. He tried so hard to catch a coupon!!!!
I mentioned that the seats were great, and I mean that! It was easy to get into the action by being so close. Beau loved to point out that they green shirt guys were the real hockey players because they had on his same shirt!
We took a few selfies: Mommy and the boys, Daddy and Linc, and Mommy and super sleepy Beau. We got them Slurpees from the 7-11 stand (after they asked 1 Million times), and that kept Lincoln super busy. Beau was just too worn out from the busy day to get too active. He almost fell asleep but fought hard to keep his eyes open.
So we didn't catch a Slurpee coupon from the 7-11 blimp, but Mommy snagged a $25 coupon from the Choctaw Casino blimp! (I hope Nana and Pops will have good luck and win big with that!) Lincoln was so proud that Mommy caught one! We had such a fun family day, and everyone was super tired. Days like this are the BEST!
