We started the weekend off by taking the kids to one of our favorite breakfast joints, Oddfellows in the Bishop Arts District. Now that we have moved to Midlothian, we are a little closer to the Dallas scene so this area is a little closer to us now. It's a super cute area with lots of shops and dining. Unfortunately, since we always go for breakfast most of those shops aren't open. Eventually we'll get back there in the evening.
Ouur next stop was to the Perot Museum of Nature & Science. This museum opened earlier this year in Dallas and we've been putting off our visit to allow the crowds to die down. The kids had a great time, both interested in different sections and interactive displays. The museum has 4.5 floors to peruse. We definitely will have to go back to spend more time; 3 hours didn't allow time to see it all.

Saturday evening we met up with our good friends to see a concert at Levitt Pavillion. Unfortunately, after grabbing dinner we only made it to hear 2 songs at the show. But we had a great time nonetheless.

And as for today, we are doing a few things around the house. I worked in my last walk today to meet my 100 mile goal before Austin arrives. Addison is going to the Apple store to get her phone fixed & studying for her final exams before she flies to Indiana on Wednesday for an International Problem Solvers competition. She's really excited to participate in this event....and fly on a trip with her schoool friends. And Preston has talked his dad into buying a slip-n-slide for the back yard since our Pool install has been delayed. I think those slides are so painful - throwing your body to the ground over & over - but I sure did like them as a kid. And I'm sure Preston will too.
The kids have their last week at school coming up. We'll be cleaning & packing for the hospital tomorrow. And Austin arrives Tuesday. Super fun weekend followed by a super exciting week!
