Visit from Dad

This past weekend, Mindy's Dad came to visit for a couple of days. We had a lot fun. Friday night we went out to dinner at Saltgrass in Arlington. Saturday morning we headed out to hit some golf balls on the driving range. Then we headed out to Lone Star Park to watch the races. It was so hot that one of the horses had heat exhaustion after the race and had to have water sprayed on it in order to get up and back to the stables. After the races, we headed into West End to eat and then went by the American Airlines Arena to watch the Stars play outside in the square. They had large TVs showing the game while everyone watched. It was neat to see the support for the team. Sunday we headed off to church and then to the Rangers game in the afternoon. The weather was great and we ended up getting burned a little. On Monday, we headed up to Mesquite to eat dinner for Mindy's birthday at Iron Chef. It is a Japanese Steakhouse where they cook in front of you. Kevin decided that it would be funny to tell them that it was Mindy's birthday. So, everyone sang happy birthday and everytime they said that word 'You', Mindy had to hit a gong. It was pretty funny. After dinner we headed into Dallas to try and watch the Stars game again, but since we couldn't find parking we headed over to the Longhorn statues in downtown Dallas. Mindy got to try out her new camera that Kevin and Callie got her for her birthday. Below are pictures from the weekend and of the dogs (needed to test out the new camera!)
