Easter in Dallas

For Easter we went up to Bedford for a long weekend. We went up Thursday morning and came home Sunday. We spent a lot of time around the house and Tess made her first visit to Fossil Rim. Granny hadn’t being feeling well so we was in a rehab facility so when we weren’t at home or at Fossil Rim, we were at the Rehab Facility.

One evening we enjoyed some park time before dinner. The Boys Ranch in Bedford is going through a massive makeover and it’s looking really good. Tess loves the park and Mona even joined in on the fun. It was a really nice day out and Tess needed to burn some energy so we spent a good amount of time hanging out at the park.

One of the days we went to Fossil Rim, Tess is still too young for the behind the scenes tour so we just drove through the park. Tess loves animals so I knew she would enjoy being able to feed the animals from the car. We started out the car ride with the normal warning, don’t feed the ostriches, and she knew when we got to the ostriches we don’t feed those birds. She had so much fun looking at the animals and feeding them. 

There was a petting zoo and little shop where she flattened a penny and an animal appeared on it. After the shop we continued on our way and saw and fed more animals on our way out of the park. I can’t wait for her to be able to do the behind the scenes tour and stay the night.

At one point we came across some massive red deer and they came right up to the window and almost came into the car. Tess was not thrilled with how big they were or how close they came. She had enough of them and was ready to roll up the window and leave them behind and see other animals.

On Sunday we woke up and the Easter Bunny had found us at Nana and PawPaw’s house. We had a big egg hunt inside since it was yucky outside and she found the golden egg. She was so excited when she realized there was money inside the golden egg that she wanted to go to the store right then and spend her cash.

When we got home we had to go to the grocery store to pick up the necessities and at the store she found to perfect toy and asked if she could buy it with her egg money. We said ok and she and her pony wheeled around the house till the battery ran out.

That night before bed Tess was singing her songs and as I was listening I realized that she had combined two songs into one, This Little Light of Mine and Deep in the Heart of Texas. She starts off with this little light of mine and then breaks into deep inside my heart. I am not sure how these got combined but she has made a new hit.
