Dallas

Last week we went to dallas for a day and a half to go hang out and go to this big shopping mall. on the way we stopped at the temple and took some pictures. and just fyi, my pictures posted in backwards order to what i wanted, and if you notice andon is missing in these first pictures, its because he was asleep in the car and i did not wake him up for this.

Ice Skating at the Galleria

Galleria was the shopping mall we went to and at the bottom was an ice skating rink. my sister janell took mikenna and treston skating while i watched from the side with the little kids. this was mikenna's first time and she did very well. they had lots of fun. 

kelton and andon hanging out watching the big kids skate.

taking a break

mikenna held on tight at the beginning

treston was a great little skater... what a stud 

mikenna learned quickly and was soon skating alone

we decided after this trip we needed to go back to the galleria and shop again when we had more time and money!!!!!
