Maddie also had a special treat for the trip ... her own DVD player! Although Nick and I said we would never do it, what else is a 3 year old going to do for 9 hours? We figure it would make the trip a little more fun for her too.
We finally made it to Wichita Falls and Maddie was so excited to see her ZsaZsa! I think ZsaZsa was pretty excited too!
Right away, Maddie dove into gifts from ZsaZsa. The bags were full of cute clothes and fun toys!
... oh, and a princess set (tiara, necklace, ring, etc)
... and a candy ring! "sticky ring"
Could they look any happier?
Grandpa Steve then found a scooter for Maddie to play with. She showed off her skills ... of course with a baby (stuffed into the basket).
Maddie loved their backyard! It was so big and she just ran and ran and ran and ran. She also made ZsaZsa run a lot. They were so silly!
After all that running, they snuggled up with a flat lamb each and pretended to sleep. :)
The next morning, Maddie did not skip a beat. Right to play time. Zsa Zsa had some "Moon Sand" to play with. They made all kinds of shapes.
After all that fun, we needed a lunch break. We went to Daddy's favorite restaurant - Samurai and ate a ton of food!
Then we did a little shoe shopping. Maddie got some light up shoes and beautiful flip flops. Then we went to the dollar store and well ...
We came home to play some more! Maddie is such a princess ... but she loves construction trucks. It is the strangest combination, but her Daddy loves it!
Maddie and Grandpa Steve enjoyed a little lunch together at a table that was just the right size for Maddie.
Then Janice and Jessica and all the kids came over to play. The girls were so nice to Maddie and taught her how to jump on the trampoline. She LOVED it!
This video shows the progression from scared of jumping to loving it and never wanting to get off the trampoline!
This is how I found Maddie one night after lots and lots of jumping. Worn out!
The next day, we did a lot of the same things. Played on truck ... ran around ... jumped on trampoline ... Maddie was in heaven!
Then it got even better! Zsa Zsa took Maddie to get her nails done! It was the greatest thing Maddie has ever known! She got pink nails with flowers and rhinestones! 
Could she look happier?!
Then the great day got even better ... off for a little ice cream! Mmmm ...
Maddie enjoyed her ice cream ...
After ice cream, we went to the park to feed the ducks and geese and I got some cute photos of Maddie with her Zsa Zsa.
After that we went to the Wichita Falls. They were pretty cool!
Maddie then played around for a little bit.
Found a rock ...
Nick and I also found time to go boot shopping. Who would have thought that Nick would go back to Wichita Falls and buy cowboy boots?! They are going to be his work boots ... seriously ... as in working in the OR boots!
This whole time we have been playing, Magnus and Willow have been going a million miles an hour. Willow loves to run and Magnus loves to chase. It was a match made in heaven. Magnus was so exhausted each night. It was so good for him!
We said bye to Grandpa Steve and Zsa Zsa and headed down to Dallas for our next round of spoiling. Thanks for a great trip!
