A staycation

After the fun and excitement of the rodeo, there was even more to look forward to. Tyler got Thursday and Friday off {and Saturday too}! This was a serious treat after the last few months. So we had ourselves a little staycation and found some fun things to do around here.

Thursday after my YW meeting we went up to the Galleria. We played with my future new phone in a few stores, took the see-through elevator {and the escalator} up and down, found an indoor playground, took Millie to the Disney store, watched ice-skaters, and just enjoyed walking around together. 

The playground was a miniature Galleria, with cars and buildings and streets and everything. Pretty cute.

She was a little hesitant at first

The mirror told stories... weird and cool

We were all exhausted by the end of the day!

Also, here's a video of Millie's funny new laugh.

Friday we went to Home Depot first thing to get some spring lawn-care stuff. I was feeling pretty grown up buying fertilizer for our very own lawn! That's still crazy to me. 

Off on her own adventure. Our new favorite game is just to follow Millie! 

After naps {and some lawn-mowing and fertilizing} we tried to go to Trader's Village, but it was closed. So we drove by the local flight school and watched some tiny planes take off and land, which was really cool to see! Then we went to the outlets for a little bit, but Millie was having tummy troubles and it was really windy and we were all just tired, so we came home pretty quickly.

That night my mom and Sarah came to stay with us! Saturday we did some shopping with them at two outlet malls.

Millie picked these herself... kinda scared for her teenage years

Mom and Sarah continued to shop while we came home so Millie could nap. We took a walk when she woke up and then made Cafe Rio for dinner. Yum! Our visitors {Mom, Sarah, Tim, and Lauren} left after dinner, and we crashed. Fun is so exhausting!

We loved having Daddy home with us for a few days!
