Birthday Adventure

JJ chose to go on a family trip for her birthday instead of having a big friend party.  We decided to go the Texas State Fair in Dallas, see Dinosaur Land State Park and visit the Dr. Pepper Museum.  My Mom and Dad flew into Dallas to join us on our Adventure.   We had a great time and have some fun pictures of the trip. 

We love Grandma and Papa and their Presents!!!

Couldn’t resist snapping this pic outside the hotel . . .

The Biggest Fair in the World was BIG fun!!! I had the best corndog of my life, saw duck diving dogs and was thoroughly entertained by my children. 

Biddy was excited to ride the whales all be herself.

Then another Mom set her crying child behind her.  The little girl began screaming in terror as soon as the ride started. Now Biddy was not so sure. . .

The Mom pulled her child off the ride and we sent Biddy around again hoping she would be ok, but she deteriorated with each trip around.

 

Poor thing we all just stood there waving, cheering and taking pictures.

We thought she was done for the day but then……

 

We were saved by the carousel!

The fair was a big thrill for JJ.  She rode on a some real rides with Grandma and Papa, 

was a star in the bird show and got to be on the TV,

 

and she was part of the pee wee rodeo. 

She won the trophy for bare back riding and

got to be the rodeo clown! 

What a lucky Birthday Girl!!! 

JJ was not the only one celebrating a birthday.  Saturday was Grandma’s birthday and we sure did surprise her! 

After the early morning celebration we made our way to Dinosaur Land State Park. 

Once again JJ was thrilled.  She got to see real dinosaur tracks.

Zana and Biddy were happy too...no scary rides just a river to play in.

The next stop on our Adventure was made especially for Grandpa and Daddy who are both “Peppers” 

The Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco was lots of fun.  I had the best Dr. Pepper float in the world.. no seriously it was amazing!! We loaded up Burke and my Dad with plenty of souvenirs and then hit the road home. 

JJ said that our road trip was way better then a birthday party and I have to agree.
