Meow Wolf Dallas Texas

 

Logan and I went to Meow wolf!

This blog will be picture overload.  Oh my gosh pinch me to make sure I’m not dreaming.  I had been wanting to go here since last year when they opened.  Finally made it and it was everything I imagined it would be like.  





One of my favorite areas was the room of refrigerator doors. Taking us into a different dimension.  I wish I had taken more pictures of what was in each refrigerator area.  


This was in the camper area.

The sink area of the camper area. 









The dance area. I didn’t attempt to hula hoop because that would have been a hysterical moment for me.  











I think this was located by getting on a elevator either R1pr R 2.. So much to see and lots of interactions. 

This is the beginning of the unreal world.  


We bought the 3D glasses but they wasn’t needed. What I do know is I would like to go back and spend more time.  I would take lots more pictures and do more of the interactive activities.  I would definitely like to see the other Meow Wolfs.  It was so worth the $50.00 ticket price. If you get a chance to go do it you will not be disappointed.

Dallas Texas with family

Brooks and Nana…he is keeping me company by telling me lots of stories.  The drive is about 2 1/2 hours. O both Brooks and Hattie did well on the long drive.

Once we got to our room we unpacked.  We are staying at Hampton Inn near Grapevine Mall.  The suite was very nice and clean. 

We ate at Esparza’s.   It was really good.  I got the burrito with cheese topping. The servings was big. 


Jessica and Hattie


I may need to recreate this burrito at home.  
Our first night was good.  Brooks has so much energy and didn’t want to go to bed.   I know I went to asleep before the rest of the family.  I did read my vampire book for awhile. The book I’m reading is Filthy Rich Vampire.  Has a bit of spicy content 🌶️.  Am on 3rd book as I do like the story plot.

Pen pal letters, mail art,

Am sending out 3 letters for the week.  I wanted to make each envelope cute. I know I love happy mail and really get excited when it’s decorated with stickers and such.  Since I’m not an artist stickers come to my rescue. 



Am sure by pen pals enjoy the pop of color on their envelopes.  To tell you the truth I am always just to receive a piece of happy mail.  Doesn’t matter if it’s in a plain envelope or decorated.  I just feel blessed that they took time out of their busy lives to write me.   
With the rising cost of stamps I have seen the decline of pen pals.  I have cut way back on pen pals myself.  I currently have 6 active pals.  Which I believe is enough for me currently. Staying on top of my outgoing mail pile is important.   I never want to be known as a pen pal collector.

Angel’s 10th birthday

Angel and Kyndall.  
Having Angel’s birthday at the splash pad. The weather is beautiful. Although there wasn’t any shade so the sun was hot. I enjoyed watching the kids play in the water. 

The cake was so pretty.  Had good flavor and it was moist.  It was chocolate, my favorite.


The kids were excited to see what gifts she had been given.  Angel was happy with her gifts.We got her a big slime kit and a journal set.  Kyndall gave her a small slime kit, candy and some adorable erasers that looked like macaroons.

Overall the party was fun.  Unfortunately no seating or picnic tables.  If I had known I would have bought a folding table and a few chairs.  But we made it work.

Outdoor movie at Cotten Blossom Winery

What a blessing to be watching Batman Lego with family.  Trevor, Mellissa, Kyndall, Aaron, Jessica, Logan, Brooks, Hattie, Grandma Berdine, Amelia and her daughter.  We all had fun.  Making memories is so important to me these days. Especially as I am getting older. 

Logan and Nana hanging out. I’m really surprised that Logan didn’t stay home in his man cave.  Brooks told me that his brother don’t let him in his room very often.  I totally understand with Brooks being 3 and Logan being 13.  Brooks would destroy Logan’s room in one minute.

How much fun to be outside watching a movie as a family.  Unfortunately Blake was working.  I hope we can do this together sometime. I sure am enjoying spending more time with Grandma Berdine.
