Life just seems to be a little too hectic lately for my taste — thus delaying my remaining Texas post. At last, here it is.
Go Rangers!
On May 15 we took in a Texas Rangers game during our stay. While I'm not a televised sports fan by any means (except the Olympics) I do enjoy live athletic events. There's something so thrilling about the sights, sounds and smells of a live baseball game.
I worried Lydia would lose interest in the game after a couple of innings, but she did surprisingly well. How can you not be intrigued when your mom is pointing out insightful baseball things, such as "Hey, Lydia, let's watch to see if this guy can catch the ball." My sports knowledge is unparalleled.
Lydia's two favorite things from the evening were the man walking up and down the aisle yelling "Hot dogs!" and the man a few rows in front of us with a blue wig.
To the hot dog seller she kept laughing and saying, "He said 'hot dog!'" and then she'd giggle like crazy. Even weeks later she still says it, in a pretty good impression of the salesman.

Sadly, the Rangers didn't win the game, but let's be honest, I was just there for the social experience.
Oh to be young again!
Then next few days went by in a blur or park visits, yummy meals, swimming, a street fair and lots of late night visits with my family. One of the nights the girls left the kids home with the dads and went to see the BYU Folk Dancers perform. Such a fun girl's night out.
I'm so glad we were able to spend some time in Texas!

On our way home

Lydia was an absolute angel on the flight home. She was SO excited to get home to see her Daddy. As was I.
While waiting in the airport I found a reason to love DFW Airport — they have a play place for kids in terminal C. Brilliant!
