Some Weekend Fun

We visited the Dallas World Aquarium again last weekend, and Madelyn enjoyed it so much. Here she is looking at a very large turtle swimming overhead.

In the water tunnel she saw many sharks. This was her favorite part of the visit.

She pointed out a loud bird on the way inside.

We stopped at the new Victory Park area outside American Airlines Center so that she could see the fountains. The water shoots up for a minute then stops for just a second. She was amazed when the water disappeared!

Standing with Daddy next to the big fountains. She loves riding on his shoulders!

Hanging Around

Madelyn loves to hang from anything she can grab onto! Here she is on the playground at school in her favorite spot - preparing to hang from a bar before going down the slide. She climbs the steps over and over just to hang and swing.

Even at the Aquarium last weekend she found time to hang from a rail. Future gymnast, maybe??

1st Day of "School"

Madelyn will be attending "school" (mothers' day out) twice a week this year. She was excited to see her room and meet her teachers last week!

Her teachers are so sweet!

Today was the first day! She was excited to see the playground and many new "friends" when we got there.

"Let's go, time to get inside!!"

"My room is this way, Daddy!"

They nap at the end of the day. What a tired girl!!

At the end of the first day all was well. She was sleepy, but happy!

Swimming Again!

Swimming is one of Madelyn's favorite activities! She's walking fast to get to the pool, but she gives a quick wave to the slide and swings along the way.

She loves kicking and paddling her arms like she's really swimming!

"Whee!! Jumping to Daddy is SO fun!"

Birthday Lunch

Mommy had a special birthday lunch with Madelyn and Daddy.
