The girls are so excited about their new sister and can’t wait to go to China. It’s precious to hear them talk about all the things they want to show her and teach her. I know that they are still going to be stressed out about the changes our family will be going through as we add a new child. I wanted to have a special day with them doing some big girl stuff and told them it was our special day. We headed over to the Fort Worth Science and History museum to see the IMAX film “Flying Monsters” which was about the first flying dinosaurs. The film was interesting and the special effects were pretty good. After seeing the show we went into the museum to see the new “Wizard of Oz” exhibit. It was very kid friendly and the girls loved it!!! I thought it was adorable.

After seeing the Oz exhibit we went into the Innovations Studio for a little while.

We ended our day by having frozen yogurt with all the tasty toppings. It was a wonderful day before our wild China adventure begins.

Valentines was our 3rd Gotcha Day with Amelie. This year we let her pick what she wanted to do to celebrate. She immediately said she wanted to go to the zoo. The weather was beautiful and we had such a nice time. We ran into the Welch family and spent some time checking out the giraffes, elephants and feeding the fish. Later in the day we saw them again and rode the Yellow Rose Express train back to the entrance.

After the zoo we decided to try out Paco & John for lunch. This place looks like a hole in the wall, but it’s gourmet place. We all decided that it was the best guacamole we had ever tried. The girls loved their quesadillas and I thought the street tacos were delicious. Amelie was so happy all day and she especially enjoyed all the “big girl” headbands that we gave her in the morning.

My last post was from our visit to the Dallas Arboretum Pumpkin Village. They opened up the Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden last year and we were hoping for a nice day to go visit and take some photos for our annual Christmas calendar. There was one beautiful day the first week of December and we got so many great photos it was hard to narrow it down.
