| Brown Puppies were eating too! |
We headed in the Tesla to Waco. The drive took us some time as there was a major car accident (looked like something exploded on the side of the interstate and started the bank on fire). Luckily I convinced MbMell, to pull over into the service road, and that got us moving a little faster and by passing the traffic jam on the main road. We made it past and about 30 minutes from Waco, T wouldn't stop asking how far we were, and if we were ever going to make it. Good thing that MbMell packed some snacks!

We made it to Magnolia Silos (Chip and Joanna's piece of Waco, https://magnolia.com/about/). Since MbMell has been there 2 times previously, Lola started watching Fixer Upper to see what these people were all about. She even watched where they did the bakery, so that she got the whole experience. We hadn't talked about going, but MBMell knew that it would be a place Lola was now interested in and suggested it. We played in the "turfed" area, went to the bakery, ate lunch, watched the robot owl, shopped in Magnolia Market, and went to the garden. It was a cool environment. The sweet tea and food was so good! The Twinkies and MBMell Loved the cupcakes and cookies!
After the Silos we headed to the Cameron Park Zoo. We put sunscreen on and off we went. The zoo was great, and I took videos of most of the animals. B also requested a photo with most of the statues throughout the zoo. Highlights include, the Giraffe's, Elephants and Hippos in the African Savanah, River otters with slide, and the Orangutan's. It was hot, but we stayed well hydrated, and had a nice chat with the cafe lady at the end, while we cooled off and had a good drink.

The twinkies had a snack on the way back. B fell asleep while eating.
The drive back was pretty uneventful, the twinkies slept and the ladies chatted. We also ordered sushi on the way (Lola grew adult pants and ordered, we missed AA). We picked it up on our way to the house. We watched some animal videos and then ate supper. It sure was good.
Bath time was had (not the best moment of the day). and kids went to bed. T fell asleep relatively quick, and it is currently 10:45pm, and B just came out again. MBMell and I are ready to go to sleep, but B sure doesn't want to go to bed. I think finally she is sleeping! They have been in their rooms since 8pm, but during this time, B has come out complaining she can't tuck herself back in, caught reading books in the hallway (we thought we heard things a couple of times but couldn't figure it out), moving all contents of her bed into the corner of the room (45 minutes) to find out that her soft friends "didn't care for it", and assistance was required to put her things back, and this all was happening while the monitor with sound is one right between us.
We have an adventure planned for tomorrow, hopefully DD is in a decent mood, as he is out having a great time this evening with his coworkers. We will see what time we can get out of the house tomorrow.
Hope you have a great long weekend!
Lola.
