They got here on a Wednesday, the last week of March, and came with me to pick up Owen from preschool. It took Owen a minute to register what was going on, but he was all smiles the rest of the day and kept saying "this is the best surprise!"
I told Gavin I had a dinner and wanted him to come with me. When I went to pick him up for the said "dinner," his parents were with me. Because it's busy season, Gavin couldn't really take time off work to hang out with them, but it was fun to take him to dinner before he started working again. It totally caught him off guard!
While Rick and Sue were here, we...
went to Torchy's of course. This was right after they surprised Owen... he was so cute and happy!
Went to Little Elm Beach. It was too cold to completely swim, but hanging out on the beach, building sand castles, and riding in the kayak was fun!
We went to the Frontiers of Flight museum. I chose this activity because I thought Rick would like it. I was surprised by how much we all enjoyed it! We lucked out and went on a day where they flew in old war planes and let us climb through them.
It was bluebonnet season, which is a big deal in Texas. So we went on a drive through the country to see the bluebonnets. It's like the equivalent of going for a drive to see the fall leaves in Utah.
And because this required us to drive through downtown on a Saturday, we had to stop at the Farmer's Market for pudding and pickles. I think that means we can be considered locals!
It was a quick trip for them but we're glad they came! We love visitors!
