Our first afternoon on the beach. We literally rushed into our condo, changed clothes and ran out onto the beach!

The girls...

1st Dance Recital

What an amazing experience for Reese and Sloane. After 9 months of dance classes, they finally participated in their 1st dance recital.

Here they are at their last practice at the dance studio....

I have a sweet friend who volunteered to do their hair and make-up for the recital! They look so grown up!

In N Out Burger has arrived in Texas!!

In N Our Burger has finally arrived in Texas! I have been apprehensive about trying it out because the lines have been long!

Earlier this week, Brooks, Reese and Sloane were having a good morning so I decided to take them on the adventure to try In N Out Burger for the 1st time!

Here they are holding hands in the car...
When we arrived, the line for the drive thru was wrapped around the building, so we went inside to eat. Luckily, we only waited in line for 10 minutes. Sloane and Brooks were excited to wear the hats...

We continued to have good luck when 2 Moms offered us their table when they were leaving. Soon after, the food was ready! I ordered my burger "animal style" as recommended by all of my native California friends.....it was yummy!

Brooks almost ate this entire cheeseburger!
After a full tummy, he fell asleep on the way home with his hat in his lap....so cute!

Summertime!

School has only been out for 1 week and Brooks, Reese and Sloane have already been busy!

The weather is already so warm so we have been playing at splash parks and swimming!

Here's Brooks with his "Duck Cruise"...
I usually meet with some of my friends with multiples to play a couple of time a week. This was a local splash park. Two set of twins and my triplets...enjoying Popsicles on a hot day.

One afternoon when we were playing in the backyard, Brooks found a ladybug crawling on his arm. We told him that meant "good luck"...

The cars from the movie Cars 2 were in Dallas at a public event. I stood in line with Brooks, Reese and Sloane for almost 2 hours outside in the heat! While we were waiting, the Trio got these tattoos....
Cars 2!

A day at the Zoo!

This summer, we will take several trips to the Dallas Zoo. We have a family membership which makes it nice when you have 3 children!

Sloane, Brooks, and Reese love the elephants!

The giraffe exhibit is amazing! There is a deck when you can hand feed the giraffes. The Trio LOVED to watch the giraffes eat...and laugh at their long tongues!
Giraffes
We had never seen a giraffe laying on the ground!
Reese and Sloane decided to take a "nap"....they are so silly
Look at the cute baby chimpanzee!

I love this photo of Reese! The penguin seems to be posing for the picture...so cute!
Brooks chilling at the splash area in the zoo
After the zoo, we came home and played in the backyard. Reese was so exhausted from the zoo that she fell asleep standing over the lawn chair!
