A surprise chance to visit with Aunt Juju

We got a wonderful surprise - - - Aunt Juju had a day off before her performance across the border in OK, and she stayed in Dallas so that she could see us!  It was a really fun day.

We all went swimming in her hotel pool.  The boys had lots of opportunities to "show off" for Jules.  :)  Maxwell, especially, was excited to have her watch what he could do.  

We had lunch down by the pool.  (This hotel had the absolute best water down by the pool - - it wasn't spa water but had lime in it and something else.  I've thought of calling the hotel again to find out.  It was amazing.)



After lunch, Jules had a spa appointment and we all showered and then hung out in her hotel room while I *tried* to get my kids to nap.  Unfortunately, because too many things were off from their routine (sleeping in a room by themselves, with sound machines, etc.) neither slept.  UGH.  I worried that they would just be grumpy all evening.

Emmalyn LOVED Lexi and Harley.  They are such good, sweet dogs.  

When Jules came back, we took the dogs for a walk.

Today was the first time Julianne got to meet Emmalyn.  She was so cute with her.


I wish this pic wasn't so dark.  I love it!

The dogs were so sweet that even Maxwell liked them.  He asked to walk Harley!  (And proceeded to talk about both of them for days)

He really loves his Aunt 



Peter met up with us after he was done working and we walked to dinner (it ended up being pretty far...on busy streets...with sidewalks under construction - - not the best when you are walking with 5 kids) and had some good Mexican food and great conversation.  I so enjoy time with Julianne.  It was good to know that we'd get time with her the next day too.  (Maxwell was soooo upset that he wasn't going to be going to the show with us.)

KNOCKED OUT! Long day, time in the sun, no nap, long walk, staying up past his bedtime....yup, fell asleep in the car.

Emmalyn crashed, too.
