We've been trying to get our bearings by exploring not only Dallas, but the surrounding cities.
Carrollton is winning so far! Downtown Carrollton has rock climbing silos, an awesome playground, a hilarious candy shop, free movies at the town square, and beautiful Texas-homestyle restaurants. Thank you Carrollton!
A minion in the candy shop!
We went on a date to Babe's chicken. I obviously haven't gotten the hang of humidity hair yet.
Mary Heads Carter Park
We talked to some employees at the silos, asking for adventure ideas. They told us about Ray Roberts Lake, about an hour north of Dallas. We took the drive and it was worth it! The "hiking" had us gaining about 7 feet in elevation, but the flowers were pretty. The beach and lake were awesome! We took a nice swim and we definitely plan on going back to spend more than just a couple hours there!
September/October is Texas's fair and festival season, so we came at a good time! A friend told us about Lewisville Western Days (Lewisville is another surrounding city) so we went and had a good time!
Owen and "baby Kinley". This is our friend's daughter and Owen is so cute to her! On the shuttle to the fair, O kept saying "hold on tight baby Kinley!"
We pulled some volunteer's teeth to get Owen on this horse (whoops!) and the whole thing was just a good experience gone bad for him haha
Owen has been loving jamming to live music! There's lots of that here!
This is the park across the street from where Gav works. There's always live music here. Owen was jamming to this band when he started running in circles. 140 circles later I stopped counting but he kept going!
We still have a lot to learn about this place, and I'm more excited about it now than I was a month ago, but I still miss Utah.
Stay-at-home-mom life is interesting. I don't get bored- the boss keeps me super busy, but it's with stuff like building train tracks and feeding breakfast to Winnie-the-Pooh. There are things I miss about working, but not having a job has it's perks too. Perks like...
And in case you're wondering, our apartment still looks like this:
