Wonderful Weekend!

On Saturday our friends Traci and Kylie finally came to A-Town for a long overdue visit:) I do not know which girls were more excited to see each other me and Traci or Kylie and Kaylee. We ran out the door to greet them as soon as they arrived. After a quick tour of the house kaylee took Kylie on a more indepth tour of her room and the playroom with Campbell following along of course. She loved getting to play with Kylie too. Once they got a chance to breathe Kaylee and Kylie stayed with Cary with the rest of us girls ran to the local United for a few things for lunch and dinner. Campbell loved having Traci along for the ride because she let her take her backpack along with attached lunchbox and baby doll in the store with us. We returned to find our daughters laughing and talking away just like old times. Seems like they got that from their mothers:) After a great lunch prepared by my sweet husband and putting Campbell down for a nap we ran around town to show Traci and Kylie some of our favorite spots.

Our first stop was to Cajun Cones to show them what a truly delicious sno-cone tastes like. The girls had so much fun deciding on a flavor since there are about 50 to pick from. After that we went to the Jacob's Dream sculpture at ACU which is amazing to look at. There are so many details that went into this exhibit. The girls especially enjoyed dipping their feet into the waterfall which can be used as a baptistry:) That is allowed right? Once we were done exploring the sculpture I took Traci by the famous Sonic referrred to by my friend Courtney in one of her recent entries. Next we were off to do some shopping at a few of my favorite spots, Under One Roof, Steinmart, and Junk Warehouse. Since the girls had been such good sports we took them to the mall only to find out that our Build a Bear knock-off store had closed so they graciously settled for a Webkinz from the Hallmark. Thus concluded our brief tour of Abilene.

The girls spent the rest of the evening swimming and having fun together, they were even nice enough to include Campbell. I just loved these two pictures of the girls because they were having so much forth to each other one at the top of the slide and the other one in the water. Pure joy!

After all the swimming it was time for bed...the girls were so excited to be having a sleepover together. Can you tell from the picture? Such cute friends. They must have been really tired because they went to sleep with minimal talking and giggling:) Of course, Campbell really wanted to have a sleepover too but she settled for me taking a picture of her instead. What a sweet little face.

The next morning we all got up and went to church. The girls seemed to have a lot of fun together in class. One of our good friends sat at the table in our class so of course I introduced him to Traci and he said, "You must be from Sachse!" To which Traci replied, "Yes" and he went on to say that Kylie had told them in children's church that she was visiting from Sachse which we thought was too funny:)

Thank you Traci and Kylie for making the trek to Abilene to spend some time with us. We all enjoyed your visit and are looking forward to you bringing the whole family in the Fall sometime. We have to go to the Children's Museum and the Zoo just to name a few spots. It is so nice to have friendships that you can just pick up where you left off last as if no time has passed at all. We love you!
