Little Rock visit!

A few weeks ago, Ben, Kate & I went on our first road trip without Daddy to go visit one of my Allstar friends from Texas A&M- Adele! Adele lives in Little Rock with her husband (Mr. Lee) and cute kiddos Ellen (4) and William (1.5). We had a great time and the Jacksons were wonderful hosts! Ben & Kate did pretty well on the road but had a rough time sleeping the first night. I think I figured out the trick on trips is to not nap so they fall asleep easily and earlier at night!

Thanks Adele for these pictures, I, of course, forgot my camera.

Here they are playing dress up in the playroom. Please note Ben's costume (Adele's middle school cheerleading uniform- it was the most "manly" thing they had). Ben & Kate are both looking through binoculars/ spotting scopes like Diego.

Like in Texas that week, Little Rock was HOT- over 100 degrees! So we went swimming both days!

We also went to a really cool indoor play place to escape the heat called "The Wonder Place". It was just about as good as a children's museum. I wish we had one in DFW!

Playing with mirrors- there's cuteness all around me!!!

In college we always dreamed of our babies playing together so it is always a dream come true when our Twinkles are together! Thanks Jacksons for having us! We love you guys and can't wait until October when all the Allstars & Twinkles reunite!
