First Family Vacay

John and I ventured to Dallas with the twins this past weekend to visit friends.  The weekend started off rough.  When we arrived at our good friends Josh and Amanda's house after a three hour drive, resulting in a three hour nap, the babies were ready to party when Mom and Dad were ready to sleep.  George went to sleep after an hour of playing but Clara did not sleep almost all night long.  John and I had two hours of sleep on Friday night which was pretty rough.  We woke up to spend time with Josh and Amanda and their adorable little 16 month old son Brady.  It was a treat to spend so much time with him and his parents.  Brady called the twins "my babies" all weekend long.  He frequently got Josh and John mixed up calling John Daddy on numerous occasions...so cute!

We were also able to spend time with my good friend Lea and her daughter Stella.  I loved being called "Auntie Megs" by little Miss Stella.  We enjoyed some time playing with the kids and shopping together.

George and Clara also had their first experience with an outside swing and LOVED it!  I wish we had old trees in our yard so we could have one of these swings.  It was so fun to hear them giggle while swinging.

Sweet Clara says Weeee!

It was so funny to see John and Josh in the role of Dad.  We had a lot of fun together in college and I sat there and said, "Who would have thought I would ever see this!?!"

We were able to meet the newest addition to our group of friends, Kellis.  Our good friends Scott and Amanda welcomed this little, or should I say big, guy at the end of June.  He is so cute and it was wonderful to see the Harkness family!

On Saturday night Josh's mom babysat Brady and the twins so we could go out to a nice dinner.  We went to this yummy restuarant called Eddie V's with Josh, Amanda, and Lea.  We really enjoyed our night out!

On Sunday morning we took the twins to our alma mater SMU.  It was great to walk the campus, go on the football field, and relive some very good times.  George and Clara will have to be much much older before they hear those stories.  :)

That afternoon I had a play date with some of my Delta Gamma Sorority sisters and their kiddos.  It was so fun to see everyone and meet the babies.  Thanks to Rachael, who is also a mother of twins (Carter and Nolan below) for hosting!

On the way home we had to stop to feed and change the twins.  We decided to let George drive us the rest of the way home.  :)

I got it Dad!

We had such a great weekend with all of our friends!  Thanks to Josh, Amanda, and Brady for allowing us to invade your house.  Thanks to Lea for helping me with the twins.  Thanks to Rachael for the fun play date.  Hope to do it again soon!  Love you Dallas friends!
