A Week Away


We were gone all of last week. We went with Erin and visited my mom in Lindale on Monday. We had a great time- we went to the pool and the Tyler Science Center. It is a pretty cool museum that has a lot of science exhibits and career centers that kids role-play in. Finn pretended to be a nurse in the hospital nursery and rocked a baby doll and fed it a bottle. Then dropped it on it's head. Maybe nursing is not in Finn's future.
We were also able to have lunch with my Grandma Donnelly.
On Thursday, we met my dad in Arlington. Finn went to his first Ranger's game and made all 9 innings in the hot sun. The Rangers won, and Finn picked up a souvenir Rangers t-shirt and cap. Will, Brent, Bryan, and Cody joined us for the game . That night we had dinner at my all-time favorite restaurant, Traildust. yes, my favorite restaurant has a slide in the middle of it and cuts of ties of any traveling businessmen. Don't judge.
The next day we went to Six Flags. Finn rode a lot of little rides in Looney Toon land and even rode some "big rides" like the Mini- Mine Train, the Roaring Rapids, and the Log Ride. Finn wasn't scared at all- he especially loved the Roaring Rapids. I think he enjoyed seeing Erin getting soaked while he stayed dry.
On Saturday, we went to the Fort Worth Zoo. Finn was really excited to see the lions (which he calls Alex). Finn was a little trooper the whole time.
We went looking around all of the neighborhoods around Fort worth on sunday. I really liked the downtown and TCU areas. We are hoping to find a place to rent there come September.
Finn really enjoyed seeing his family, and keep asking where everybody went.
