A club patio plan was hatched a couple of weeks ago when Mrs. Blake had the idea of our families taking the trolley to the Klyde Warren Park in downtown Dallas for the morning. We got to the trolley stop at 10:00 on Saturday morning to wait for our friends. So excited to ride the trolley . . . wait, the definition of a trolley wasn't clear for Lincoln and Beau. They couldn't wait to find out!
We happily boarded the trolley and the kiddos chose their seats. Both Lincoln and Beau wanted a window, so Shayne sweetly offered for Lincoln to sit with her and take the window seat. Beau was happy to have his own row! Addy was the happiest girl in the world standing up in her seat as the trolley rolled along!
Once we got to the park, we quickly headed to the children's play area. The boys found this "super spiderman climbing thing" and beasted up to the top! They were so proud of their climbing skills. They then took turns hanging upside down and Shayne joined Beau for a bit.
After lots of playing and climbing, we took a break to check out a few other things going on at the park. They have tons of events going on for kids all the time. Mrs. Blake saw a fun Art in the Park for kids, and we all grabbed paints, brushes, water cups and found a few easels. About 5 minutes into the kids painting, we discovered that Art in the Park was a private birthday party for a sweet little boy! We crashed his party!!!!!! We quickly had the kids finish their painting, apologized profusely to the mom, returned our paints/brushes/water, and forced her to take a bit of cash because we were so incredibly sorry that we were so forward and crashed their party. She was incredibly gracious, but we left so embarrassed!
The food trucks were out, and we carefully selected lunch. Lincoln wanted a grilled ham and cheese from the Ruthie's truck. Beau wanted a cheese pizza from Romano's. They each got what they wanted, and Mommy stole a few bites of each. Daddy found a great hot dog truck for his lunch. The kids all chose the snow cone cart for dessert, but Daddy and Mommy knew the real treat was Cool Haus for homemade ice cream cookie sandwiches. Delicious! It was getting pretty hot early in the afternoon, but the kids had one more children's play area to check out. Lincoln climbed to the top of this tall obstacle in seconds. So athletic!
Beau ran lots of laps around this super cool tree house while Lincoln was climbing.
Up the tree house they went! It was cooler in the shade at the top!
It was a great time riding the trolley, playing at the downtown park, and having lunch and treats from the food trucks. Good friends to go on little adventures with is always fun!
