Our week with Bailey Bug!

Bailey came to visit us Tuesday and has been staying with us since then! We have been very busy this week and have had a lot of fun with her here. The week has been exhausting but also reassuring because we survived having a 10 year old in our house for 6 days!!! Here is the rundown of our week and lots of pictures!

Bailey flew in Tuesday afternoon and I picked her up from the airport. Since Gregg was working we decided to have a girls afternoon and went to get Manicures and Pedicures and then go to dinner!

She refused to smile for a real picture!

Bailey really wanted to paint her nails purple or green (which I rejected!) but finally decided on a shade of pink with cute little flowers on her thumbs and big toes. They even put a little bit of silver sparkle in the flowers which she LOVED!

B's pretty nails! (We took this picture Sunday morning so they are a little grown out.)

After our spa session, we went to eat at Cheesecake Factory!!! Bailey loved having dinner there and especially loved the piece of Snickers Cheesecake that we had after dinner!

The rest of Tuesday night was quite- we went home and went to bed. Wednesday morning came quick since we had to get up early to meet Gregg. I had to work on Wednesday so B got to spend the day hanging out with Uncle Gregg! She was very excited about getting to spend the whole day with just him!!! We met Gregg for Breakfast at "Lucky's" and after eating some YUMMY food I went to work and Gregg and Bailey went to 6 Flags for a few of hours! (I have to admit that while I was sad to be away from them I was not the least bit sad not being at 6 Flags since Wednesday was the hottest day of the year so far and temperatures hit 103 degrees!)

Gregg said it was HOT but that they had lots of fun and that B was a Super Trooper! They rode all the big rides that Bailey was tall enough to ride including Superman!!! (Bailey panicked mid way through the ride but survived it and even got a pink Superman cape to show off for it!

Wednesday night we went to dinner at "On The Border" and then took Bailey to the movies and to see "Imagine That" with Eddie Murphy. The movie was really, really cute!

On Thursday we slept in and then got ready and took the Dart Train to the Dallas World Aquarium! None of us have ever been to the Aquarium here so I think that Gregg and I might have been more excited about going than Bailey!

We loved the aquarium and had a great time!!! There was so much to see and all the different areas there were so neat! (Plus, it was indoors and air conditioned which was a MAJOR bonus!!!)

Bailey loved the JellyfishAttempting to take a picture with the jellyfish

We got to watch the diver feed the fish in one of the tanks!

After watching the diver feed the fish and clean the glass we headed over to the shark tank to wait for them to be fed. The shark tank was a 40 foot long tunnel filled with 400,000 gallons of water and lots of different types of sharks plus other fish and a few sting rays. Those sharks were hungry and knew that it was almost feeding time and were swarming!

My favorite picture of Gregg and Bailey- at the shark tank!

After the aquarium we stopped for ice cream and then walked back to the train station. By the time we made it back to our car Bailey was worn out and almost asleep! We stopped to get groceries and pizza and then went home and watched "Bride Wars" while eating dinner!

Friday morning we woke up early and Gregg made breakfast for us before we headed to Fort Worth and to the Zoo! We met Gary, Macy, Lilly, Rhyann and Gavin at the Zoo for a day of fun! The kids all enjoyed running around and looking at all of the animals while the adults followed behind talking about how hot it was! The animals were a little boring that day and were really just laying around trying to stay cool!

Gavin developed quite the crush on Lilly!

And even stole a real kiss from her when Gary wasn't looking (of course!)

We had a great time at the Zoo and really enjoyed spending time with all of our friends! It was so great to see Rhyann and Gavin and I can't wait till we can hang out with them again!!!

We left the Zoo middle of the afternoon and headed out to Gary and Macy's lake house to spend the rest of the day! We got to go swimming and even rode the jet ski's!!! Bailey loved being out at the lake and LOVED Gary! She took to him and followed him around all afternoon and evening! The water was awesome and so relaxing! After swimming the guys cooked out on the grill and we had hamburgers and hot dogs and then we went back out by the lake and popped some firecrackers! Bailey enjoyed chasing after the guys with snappers and playing with the sparklers!!!

Saturday morning the guys got up and went to a sale at Cabella's while the girls slept in. Macy and I got to hang out and catch up before we had to pack up and head back to Wylie. When we got home Bailey and I made cards for her to take to camp this week so she can write home while Gregg took a nap. Then we went to have our final dinner with B at Dicky's!

This morning we took Bailey to Temple to meet up with her Aunt Serena and go to Camp Dreamcatcher for the week! I was worse than some of the parents there and cried like a baby when we said goodbye to Bailey! I have had such a fun time with the girl this week and have enjoyed all of our time together! We love you very much kiddo and can't wait to see you again!!!
