You may remember a few months ago on our trip back from Atlanta, Bryan and I received a couple of free round trip tickets due to volunteering to get bumped from our flight. We used two of those tickets to spend Father's Day weekend in Atlanta with my family. It also happened to be the weekend the Texas Rangers were playing the Atlanta Braves in inter league baseball play. So here's our weekend in chronological picture diary format...
Brylee did great on her third plane trip. It was a slightly complicated trip, having to wait on the Dallas tarmac for an hour before we took off due to bad weather in Atlanta. When we finally were landing, it was the scariest landing I have ever experienced. During all of my years of flying, I have never been so scared during a landing. Our plane was being blown around in the wind, and it was the one and only time during all of my travels that I thought there was an actually chance we were going to crash. Thankful to God, we landed safely and had a great week!
During our last trip to Atlanta, Brylee had not started solid foods yet, so we never though about needing a high chair. So our first morning, we had to do breakfast sitting on the kitchen counter. We soon remedied the situation by getting a portable high chair to keep at my parents house.
My parents had to work on Thursday, but when they got home, we all went out to get yogurt after dinner.
Brylee learned a new game while in Atlanta...Peek-a-Boo!
I would cover her head with her Lovie...
...then she would pull it off her face and giggle at me. So cute!
She had her little spot set up in the living room with some toys we brought and some my parents are collecting
Friday night the whole family met up for dinner, then we headed to the Brave's stadium for the Rangers/Braves baseball game. Honestly, we were hoping to stand out a little more in our Ranger's gear, but the Brave's colors are red, white, & blue also, so you could hardly tell the difference except for the writing on our shirts.
Andrew, my youngest brother, Emily, David's girlfriend, and David, my middle brother
Bryan and I (leaving a perfect little space for Brylee... ha!)
Brylee was enthralled by watching all the vendors & fans walk by
Her new thing is blowing raspberries...she did it all weekend!
She stayed awake for the entire game, and fell asleep right at the end before the firework show
But as a good little girl, she stayed asleep through the entire thing, and slept like a champ that night
On Saturday, the boys went back to another afternoon baseball game, while the girls spent time doing "girly" things. Brylee hung out with us while we got pedicures.
She was very interested in what they were doing to our feet. We then went shopping, to the grocery store, and home to watch a chick-flick.
My mom captured a few cute expressions. How can you not love this "thinker"...
...or this "smiler"...
... or this "giggler."
My parents have a blow up baby tub at their house, but she has almost outgrown it, so we tried taking a "big girl bath" for the first time. She loved it, as usual with her other baths.
Everything these days goes into her mouth. I love her full, after-dinner-belly protruding over!
My parents recently got back from a mission trip to Mexico, and brought Brylee this adorable seniorita dress! Brylee got the giggles around Uncle Andrew for no apparent reason. It made us all laugh!
Sunday morning we celebrated a casual Father's Day. We all went to church together, and cooked steaks at home for the dad's I love!
Happy Father's Day to the most wonderful dad I've every had!
And Happy First Father's Day to the most wonderful husband and Dad out there!
