Mini Vacation!

Richard's parents have a time share and were able to get a weekend at the Silverleaf Resort Water Park Village in Tyler TX for this past weekend.  They had been trying to get this particular weekend and it finally fell into place early last week, so we decided to jump at the chance.  Tyler TX is about two hours east of Fort Worth where my mom lives so we decided to visit her on our way in and out of Tyler.  It was a spur of the moment trip but we ended have such a wonderful time.  Richard had really been missing his parents.  In fact our last trip into Midland for Beckett's birthday party Richard had mentioned how we haven't been able to spend quality time with them and this lil vacation was just perfect! 

We drove into Fort Worth Thursday night.  We hung out with my mom until lunch.  We started our day off early and went to the BEST donut shop called Shipley's.  I totally splurged and got a cinnamon glazed twist donut, yummy!!  After donuts we went to the Farmers market and bought a ton of fresh fruit and of course a whole stock of celery per Cooper's request.  After our two stops my mom took us by this awesome park/splash pad!  What a neat little place.  The park was so cool and the splash pad was excellent to cool off after playing in the heat!  They even had a really beautiful walking trail, we will definitely be going back to this park.  My mom didn't realize that there was a splash pad at the park and Cooper was just so excited he ran right for the water and didn't care about getting wet. Only moments later I realized I had left the swim bag in the car and then changed Alli and B into swimsuits.  After we left my moms we stopped at steak and shake for lunch and then headed to the resort!!
