It was pure JOY to have Sydney visit Millie (and the rest of our family) for ten days. Those ten days were crammed full of activities and constant giggling. Yes, there was giggling that lasted well into the wee hours of the night, EVERY night. I think the girls immediately readjusted their internal clocks from the Central time zone to Pacific Daylight Time. We didn't mind the late night laughter one bit. It was welcomed indeed. If laughter is the best medicine, we were on a drug overdose. Besides, sleep is overrated.
“A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.” Proverbs 17:22
Aside from giggling, Millie and Sydney enjoyed an outing to Six Flags, shopped here and there, ate out a few times, went swimming, toured Ft. Worth, spent the day at a water park, and the list goes on...
A shopping trip to Sam Moon was definitely on the to-do list. Syd willingly tried this rhinestone-studded cowboy hat on for size and even allowed a photo to be taken, but she definitely didn't want to buy it. We think she makes an adorable Cali cowgirl.
Millie introduced her NorCal friend to her North TX buddy.
Whataburger! Whatafrenchfry! Whatarootbeer! Whatacoupleofsillygirls!
Although we could have opted to dine at In-N-Out, we thought it would only be fittin' to treat Sydney to an honest-to-goodness Texas burger. The girls enjoyed the hamburger, even if it wasn't a Double-Double. After lunch at Whataburger, for the remainder of the day, the girls' conversation was peppered with the usage of "whata" before almost every word.
Whatagreatvisit! All good things must come to an end, even a visit with a BFF-kind of friend.
We watched as Sydney's Sacramento-bound Southwest plane loaded, taxied, and took off. The drive home was much too quiet with no giggling whatsoever.
