Big Girls Trip!

As part of AB's birthday present we surprised she and Parker for their birthday with a little trip.  We had intentions of doing a much larger get away but given the circumstances settled on Dallas for a few days of girl time.  We weren't able to do all the things we would have liked, but not knowing how long this would all go on we wanted to celebrate them.  Adalie and Kim surprised the girls at the hotel, they thought she was at her grandparents and couldn't make it.  So they were shocked to walk into a full party at the hotel room when we got there.  Luckily, the moms had their own adjoining room so we all got to have a little time to ourselves.  They did such a great job with all the decorations and making these girls feel extra special!  We spent a few days at the Gaylord Texan resort so that we had plenty of space to roam and the girls got to do a little exploring on their own.  We spent an afternoon doing some girl shopping and got to enjoy some good dinners.  It went by way too fast, but we loved every second!



Just another day of quarantine life!  We didn't let it stop us, we still managed to have a good time!


My teenager!  She is growing up so fast!


A little after dinner photo shoot.  The Gaylord Texan has lots of pretty cool spots.  We enjoyed just walking around and exploring...(in masks, just took them off for this photo)





A little birthday lunch at rainforest cafe...followed by shopping and pool time!
Girls just wanna have fun!
We spent the afternoon at the hotel waterpark, the mom's enjoyed the sunshine and the girls got to be teens for just a bit!1


One of my favorite memories from trips to malls with friends at their age was win we would play a game and we had 2 minutes to pick out a dress..which was supposed to be ugly, so the girls obviously missed that memo, but then try it on.  With Covid we needed something to make us feel normal, even if we only got to take the mask off for a photo.  These three will make some really beautiful prom dates one day!  They loved it!



What trip isn't complete without a stop at Buckee's!  Parker was a first timer so we had to show her the ropes!
Happy Bday to these Quaran-teens!
