This update is technically a bit longer than a weekend update, because I'm starting on Thursday morning...but I have to many sweet memories that I want to post all together! Thursday morning we met up with our MOPS friends at the fire station in Denton. Eva is always interested in firetrucks when they zoom by with their sirens on so I figured she would enjoy this little field trip with her friends.
She did have fun and was only scared once when the firefighters had to leave to respond to a quick emergency. I actually used to take my 2nd graders on a yearly field trip here as well so it was nostalgic to get to go back as a mama instead of a teacher. Afterwards I decided to take a much needed stop at Target so we could purchase a small toy firetruck to play with. It even has lights and sounds! #coolmom
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights for us were spent at the C3 Conference at Fellowship Church in Grapevine. They had a free photo booth so we enjoyed being silly :)
The speaker Thursday night was Dharius Daniels. I enjoy his preaching style so much! He is soulful and so enthusiastic for Jesus! He spoke last year at the conference and I was so happy when I heard he was returning for this year.
Fast forward to Saturday (
read Valentine's post here)....Saturday morning Ryan and I had a date to go play disc golf. Neither of us had ever played and we had a blast! I guess the course is kind of old and some of the goals were missing so we made our own. Learning something new with someone you love is always exciting!
Saturday afternoon we took Eva to play at
Casey's Clubhouse. This was our first time to visit this playground and let me tell you, if you live anywhere near Grapevine/Southlake/Trophy Club/Roanoke this place is WORTH THE VISIT. Such a neat playground! It's all free and there was so much to play with. A huge part of it is designed to be like a tree house and there were so many features you don't find elsewhere. Wow! Best playground ever. I even took a turn in the super long slide. It was a bit bumpy for an adult.
Age 2 may bring with it some hard days, but Saturday was full of giggles and smiles. Eva was sooooo happy to run and play! We soaked up the sun and the sillies.
Sunday was filled with church and more playtime in the backyard. I was dying over Eva's pigtails and dress on Sunday morning. That afternoon she got to fly her Cinderella kite in the backyard. Sunday night we had a movie night with our youth group and watched
Cool Runnings (in the spirit of the Olympics of course). I couldn't believe that most of the students had never watched or heard of this awesome movie. #imissthe90s
The only sad part of our day was realizing at bed time tonight that Eva was running a fever. Boo...there goes the chance of any outings tomorrow. I'm really hoping its just from the weather change, a busy weekend, and a no-napping day. She seemed fine tonight and was only coughing or sneezing occasionally so I am praying that she will be all better in the morning.
