Day 3: Texas Trip - Downtown Dallas and Wedding!

Dear Logan,

Let me continue telling you about our trip. Oh, first of all, your brother is doing a lot better after all the treatment and medication. He's still coughing a little bit, but definitely no more continuously coughing. He's actually more used to the nasal chamber, and doesn't fight anymore.

So back to our trip. On the day of your Auntie Chandy's wedding, we spent the morning briefly exploring downtown Dallas with Auntie Katie and Uncle John. We headed to the grassy knoll where JFK was assassinated. Daddy and Uncle John have both been there, and it's Mommy's and Auntie Katie's first time. A little bit of history, a little bit of exploring. Downtown was pretty empty as it was a Saturday morning. We just walked around for a little while, then headed back to the hotel area for some lunch. Took us a while to find a restaurant, get settled and ate. We didn't want to go too far, as we had to head to the Church for the wedding pictures by 4 p.m. It left your brother very little time to nap. I think he only napped for 30 mins that day.

But since we're family, and your brother was the ring bearer, we had to get to the church 2 hours early. It was hard to keep your brother entertained while waiting for the real ceremony to start. Luckily, he got along very well with the flower girl, and they kept each other company. Your brother was playing with my camera, re-watching the clips taken from the Wiggly Playcenter over, and over, and over again. That's how I kept him happy for all the waiting time, and during the ceremony.

Aidan and the flower girl did an amazing job walking down the aisle. They listened to instructions, walked slowly, and did exactly what they're told to do. Besides, they looked super adorable! The ceremony was a pretty short one, so I was able to keep your brother happy by giving him the camera, and the Ipod Touch for him to watch movies. These same gadgets kept him happy at the wedding reception as well.

Aside from having dinner, and eating lots of M&Ms (wedding favors), there's really not much for your brother to do. He hung out with the kids a little bit, and exchanged gadgets to play. He shared his Ipod Touch, and the flower girl's brother shared his DS Lite. Kids these days! We had to leave right after we ate the cake, as it was getting late and your brother was getting tired.

At the end of the day, we're all super tired. I was glad your brother was able to go to bed pretty much soon after he got in, and wasn't kept up because of all the M&Ms that he has eaten.

To be continued...


Love,
Mommy
