Brent enjoyed a day with them at the JFK museum and then went to the BYU/TCU football game, where BYU was regrettably crushed. But they crashed a great tailgating party and got some great food out of it. Then on Friday we spent the day at the Dallas Arboretum. They had some great gardens and Mariska loved the "splash fountains" and the hay maze. 
On Saturday we went to a neat Midlothian (nearby town) Fall Festival. We got some free cotton candy, a bunch of advertisements and Mariska had a great time riding a train! She didn't have as much fun of riding the ponies as we would have liked to have gotten out of the 4 bucks it cost... but she had so much fun on the train I literally started crying! Lame huh? Then we headed to Fort Worth and walked around the Stockyards. We accidentally missed the cows being moved, again... but had fun in all the little shops. Mariska has such a great memory, as we're walking down the road she asks, "Where's Ryan?"... the last/only time we went there, Brent's brother Ryan was with us, isn't that amazing!? 
Sunday was no biggie... church and then they took a drive around Waxahachie while I napped.
Monday they helped Brent plant a couple things in our garden and then spent the day in Dallas before their flight.
We had a great time with both sets of parents and really look forward to our next visits, whenever those might be!
In other news, things are moving along with the pregnancy. I am SO ready to be done! I have 8 weeks left and I'm so eager to see Brynley! Mariska is going to be such a great big sister. We can't go anywhere there might be a baby without having to stop to see it. If we're in the store and a baby cries 4 isles down, she says, "Baby is crying, I need to help. I better check" And I have to explain about how it's mother can take care of it.
Brent is doing well at work. This year, so far, hasn't been nearly as exhausting as last year! He's eager to get some things out of the garden before actual winter hits.
That's about it for us... I'll blog soon about our Halloween!

Wow, looks like fun times down in ol' Waxahackaloogie. And hey, don't feel bad about crying - I nearly cried when I saw my first dry-aged prime standing rib roast. Oh, man. I still get a little sentimental over it (it was really good beef!).
I wish we had a Fall festival of somekind here...looks fun.
"Waxahachie" actually does sound like a sneeze.
I'm happy to hear both sets of grandparents were able to visit - and that game...ouch!
