Weekend at Gigi & PopPa's

We had a fantastic weekend at my parent's house.  They live in Dallas, which is about 4 hours from where we live.  It's not a bad drive.  Jaxson does really well in the car with Bandit...his little mascot.

We went out to dinner on Friday night to celebrate my Mom's and Hubby's birthdays.  We've been going to The Grotto in Highland Village for 15 years now, and it's a family favorite.  The food is incredible, and Chef Morris is such a kind man.  We gave Daddy cooking lessons there for a birthday gift a few years ago.  It was recently on the Hungry Investors show...you know, the one with Jon Taffer, the guy from Bar Rescue?  Well, we really wanted to see how much it changed...and it really didn't that much!  Just a few things, like the square plates, the potatoes, and they did change the decor.  Anyway, we had an amazing time and Jaxson was a perfect angel.  He even went potty twice!


We spent the ENTIRE.NEXT.DAY in the swimming pool.  Jaxson loved it!

My Daddy got him this floatie, and it was perfect for him!  It gave him so much more freedom than the life jacket.  I think because he could keep upright and not keep leaning forwards or backwards.

It was in the 80s in Dallas.  We had to heat the pool!





Just look at that happy little face!

He played duck duck goose all around the spa with Daddy...over and over again!


Even Bandit got worn out from all the swimming!



"Please don't make me take a nap Momma!"



We all played Chicken Foot that night.  It's my favorite game night game EVER!  I lost...but I beat hubby!  Our games always get a bit spirited (and it's usually my fault).

The weather was so nice that we had breakfast on the patio!

Complete with rescue bots and bacon :)

How was your weekend?
