Waco playdate

We met some sweet friends in Waco for a super fun playdate at the beginning of July.

We started out at Cameron Park Zoo.  I haven’t been there since college, so it was fun for all of us!  Plus, my kids love a zoo. The weather was surprisingly mild!  In fact, the whole first week of July was fabulous.

 

After lunch (which is documented below because trying to move my iphone pics around makes me nutty) we headed to campus:

Hudson picked out this Baylor elephant (??? Not sure why we sell a Baylor elephant!) and named him Shooting Star:

This is the spot where Trent and I got engaged!  There used to be a bench there (which is where we actually sat), but they moved it. :( The plaque is still there though.  The bench was donated by a couple who met on campus (she was a Chi O!) and they share our anniversary date. :)

Going backwards…we had a yummy lunch at Vitek’s.  My friends are a little horrified that I didn’t branch out much in college when it came to restaurants.  They are slowly but surely expanding my Waco horizons. :)

Love this pic of future Baylor Bears!

 

The Austin crew headed back, but Liz and I walked around campus for a while with the kids. The kids were craving Dr Pepper floats (a BU staple), so we headed to the Dr Pepper museum to get some! Another Waco landmark I had never been to:

After a very fun day, we headed out late (around 5).  Just north of Hillsboro, I35 became a parking lot for no reason.  Despite the long day, OF COURSE my kids weren’t asleep!!! :) We didn’t make it home until after 7, but we had such a FUN day!
