Brody and Barrett on Spring Break - Tuesday

Barrett and Brody really enjoyed the great beds at the Hilton DFW Lakes on their Spring Break trip with Daddy Steve;  Barrett does a body slam on Brody.

Ann treated them to a full breakfast at the Hilton restaurant.  It was a great breakfast and so much fun for them to see Ann first thing in the morning.  The Hilton staff treated them like royalty!!!  Ann's smile looks much more natural than Brody and Barretts!

After breakfast, the Daddy Steve and the boys went fishing on Hilton's lake.  The Hilton provided the fishing rods and tackle box full of fishing gear.  Brody and Barrett enjoyed casting but the closest they came to catching a fish was the turtle that swam by.

Brody and Barrett came up with a game called the "Decoration Game."  Whenever they walked down the hotel halls, they had to jump from one paisley decoration on the carpet to the other.  If they missed they would fall into the "fire" and burn up.  Of course, they made Daddy Steve do it too.  Silly but fun!

Once they got to their room, Brody and Barrett would have to take turns opening the door.  The Hilton now uses proximity keys instead of card readers.  They loved unlocking the door!

Nest on the agenda - raquetball.    Barrett could be dangerous with the raquet!

Brody in his baseball stance - ready to play raquetball.

Another fun thing to do was ride up and down the 9 floors in the Hilton elevator.

  

They ate at Sonic in Grapevine because that is where Ann worked when she was in High School.

This might be a real smile for Brody!

Barrett gave me his "real" smile.

Neither boy wanted to take a nap, but when they laid down to rest for a minute, they were out like a pop up fly in the ninth inning.

Brody taking a very rare nap!

Once they awake from their nap they were back in full motion!

They walked back over to Austin Ranch to see what they could do over there.

This is Barrett riding a bucking rooster at Austin Ranch.

Ann told them about the horshoes at Austin Ranch.  Barrett was the expert thrower!

Almost!!!!

Now that's the way to get a ringer!

They loved looking out of the 9th floor hotel window!

They drove across the Grapevine Dam as one of their adventures.

And as they passed the train station, the boys really wanted to ride the train.  It was time for their train to go to bed!
