She arrived on Tuesday afternoon. We went straight from the airport to the Witte museum (it's free on Tuesday afternoons).
From there, we headed home, unloaded, changed clothes, then back out to a pool party. Everyone slept very well that night, needless to say!
Wednesday morning, we took Bethany to her last dance class (recital pics coming soon), then went downtown for some more tourism...
lunch on the Riverwalk, a tour of the Alamo, then $4 raspas (snocones). Poor Josie was not accustomed to our South Texas heat!
Thursday was Six Flags! Josie had never been to an amusement park before, so it was a real thrill. We rode some rides and then headed to the water park. Fun for all!
Friday we decided to take things easy. We did escape for a while in the afternoon - I took Anna & Josie to library for a mini-production of "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie", put on by our favorite children's theatre. (I love the picture of the girls whispering to each other.)
One of Josie's wishes for the week was to go to the mall. We spent Saturday morning at NorthStar (home of the big boots). We took her to Build-A-Bear and the Disney store. Look at the smiles!
You might think I'm crazy, but I took the girls straight from the mall to Chuck E. Cheese... filled their tummies and burned off some energy. I got to sit and watch. :)
Sunday morning - all dressed up for church. Nana was here a few weeks earlier and bought the matching outfits. Too cute!
Last hurrah - Monday morning we caught the free showing of Madagascar at the Palladium Theater. That place is huge!
Straight to the airport from there. It was a great week. Next summer, we're hoping for two!
