We had a busy schedule these past few days. Friday night, Erik and I went out for our Anniversary (an AMAZING 3 yrs together), then on Saturday, we went to the Texas Renaissance Festival with Erik's mom & step-dad. After spending most of the day there, we headed to downtown Houston where we had dinner with Erik's sisters Kelli & Shannon (they were in town for the Madonna concert) along with Shannon's little girl, Kendall.
She doesn't look too happy in the picture, but that's because she was so cold. In fact, we had a hard time getting her to leave, she wanted to try ALL of their horses out. After getting her to leave the store, we decided to let her ride another type of horse, one on the carousel.
Since I've had the opportunity to take her on the carousel at the zoo, we decided to let Erik ride with her. Can't you tell, he's a proud Daddy?
After all that riding, Jordyn decided it was time for her to help out a little, so she helped to push her stroller. In fact, this is a common occurrence, she pushes her stroller when we go for walks, she pushes the cart at the grocery store, if it has wheels, she'll try to push it. She's quite strong and push it by herself, she just needs help steering (which probably has to do with the fact that she always puts her head down when she pushes.)
After walking around for a while, we headed over to the kids section. The first thing we did there was ride the elephants (which was a total rip off). Jordyn seemed to enjoy the ride, so it made it all worth it. 
After that we, wondered around to see if there were any games that Jordyn could play, there weren't but this kind lady running the fishing pond let us take a few pictures of Jordyn and one of the fish (for free!). 
Then we headed back to the shops where we found Jordyn a cute renaissance dress before heading home. 
At dinner that night, Jordyn enjoyed playing with her cousin Kendall (who just turned 3), but it made for a long day, and then Sundays are always rough on us due to the time that church is. Jordyn finally fell asleep last night (after Erik took her to bed with him), and she's taking a nap as I type, so hopefully we're getting back to a normal schedule. We need to catch up on our sleep now because we have a busy two weeks ahead of us (my parents fly in on Wednesday and then Erik's dad and siblings fly in next week for Thanksgiving!).
At the Renaissance Festival, we stopped by a shop that had hand carved rocking horses, and Jordyn had to try them out.
