Staycation

Mid August we decided to do a little weekend staycation before Mark started the semester. We gave ourselves a budget of $30 per day, including food. It was so fun and sort of a game to find really cheap activities around Dallas. Friday we started off our day at the Arboretum, where tickets were only a dollar for the month of August. Ryann loved all the story book playhouses. We then went and saw a movie at the dollar theater and finished our night with a meal at Mama's Pizza (Mark's favorite pizza place). Saturday we started off the day at Sandy Lake Park. I had not been there since the 6th grade when I went with FBA:) It is still there and rockin' Ry had so much fun on the little kid rides and proved to be quite the thrill seeker...which thrilled Mark. We had a picnic lunch and headed home for a nap. It was such a fun way to say goodbye to Summer. Here are some pics of our weekend...
