At church this morning, the most bizzare thing happened - the lights dimmed during the middle of Mass. I had to ask Jessica if it was my eyes, but she said, "no." Thank goodness! After a pretty quick Mass we walked out to find that the expected rain had come but was already done - yeah! After Mass it was off to the IHop for breakfast - yummy, Jessica had smiley face pancakes and Katie had - you guessed it, fruit and mac and cheese. After breakfast, it was off to the wild animal preserve.
We fed all kinds of animals including the zebras. We are sorry to tell all our loyal Brown Girls followers but unfortunately, Katie was eaten by the zebras. It was sad but she went out giggling. We plan on losing Jessica in the caverns tomorrow...
After the wild animal safari we came back to the hotel to play with the doll stash and then out for dinner on the waterfront at Casa Rio. There was so much food that even though we shared, there was still food left over! Jessica fed most of the leftovers to the ducks, I guess she was still in the animal feeding mode from this morning. Swimming in the hotel rounded out our evening. We did learn something important at lunch today - Katie enjoys double dipping and Jessica, well, she thinks it is "horrifying."
Big Texas hugs and kisses to all our loyal followers. And, since we won't post our blog until late tomorrow evening - a big Texas sized "happy birthday" to mommy!

ReplyDeleteMy comment of the day is-- it probably was good that Katie was eaten by the zebra just so you could make room for all the dolls. Aha, I knew you were kidding, I see her under all the towels.
ReplyDeleteAgain, what a wonderful day you all had. Love talking to you especially when i get all those "I love you, Grandmas." I'm almost packed and can harly wait to get to Texas too. Keep blogging! Hugs and Kisses
Hey Brown girls,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the birthday wishes. Glad to see Katie got a thorough washing after being eaten by zebras. Who knows where that mouth had been? Next time Katie, just stick your foot in the zebra's face, and the stink should send him packing. Love to all my girls, Mom
Hey, just read Dad's email of day before. Crushed me? Really? Since when is 2 games to 1 crushing? Don't worry. I showed him how to sail, snorkel and kayak yesterday, so he is now reminded who is boss. Hope no one got devoured today. Jess, good to know I've taught you well about double dipping. Anyway, off to dinner. Love you, Beth
ReplyDeleteDon't listen to your Mom. I had to show her how to sail to begin with and had to show here how to dance tonight. That is what happens when you get old. Know you girls are having a blast. Look forward to seeing you soon. Assume most of the new dolls are going home with Aunt Becky and Aunt Amy.
