Aja, Peter's sister, made her first trip to Texas in March. She came over her birthday and brought along Peter's brother Mark. It was a lot of fun having them here.
Here's some of the fun we had...
- We, of course, ate out! (Although I did cook dinner 1 night)
- One night Aja and I enjoyed the great weather and went for a walk.
- On Aja's birthday we went to an improv show. It was a lot of fun! It was funny though how the actors would throw in regional jokes and poor Aja, Mark, and sometimes us too didn't get it. For example, the scene for one of the improvs took place at a "stock show". What is a stock show?? I thought maybe it had something to do with stock cars. After watching the scene, I learned that it's a place where people go to show and sell their LIVEstock. Yeah, we aren't completely Texans yet...
- We went to Babes Chicken House for some good southern style home cookin'. And celebrate Aja's birthday again. She was such a good sport when the waitresses had her wear a chicken hat while they serenaded her for her birthday. Love her spirit! (See pictures below and notice how Mark is hiding his face at the end!)
- Had some "adult" fun but kid style with arcade games at Dave and Busters
- Aja and I had a fantastic afternoon one day enjoying the sun and the flowers at the Dallas Arboretum. I couldn't believe how many more flowers were out just a week after Peter and I had gone. And we stopped for snow cones on the way home. Here are some pictures plus a short video. I love how you can hear the birds chirping!
It's so nice to have family come and visit. It means a lot especially since it's a LONG drive from SLC to Dallas.
