_ Kim and Mikey visit Dallas October 7-9, 2006

Eleven-year-old Mikey and his Mom walk to their room in the Crowne Plaza Hotel after checking in.

In the elevator Mikey says, "That looks like my brother Christian".

Mikey and his Mom stage a mock fight over who gets the bed.

Mikey and Mom peer into the afternoon sun in the Bandshell while watching the bird show, a very popular attraction each year.
On cue a bird flies from the 210 foot high Texas Star to swoop down over the audience and to the stage.
A talking porrot sings "How Much is that Doggie in the Window".

Mikey makes a hand-cranked motorcar fly.

At the Garden Center there are eight miniature trains with trestles and bridges that travel past places important in Texas history.

Posing by the "you must be this tall" sign. Mikey made it with height to spare.

Mikey about to take off on a scary ride on the Midway.

Mikey going through the Fun House on the Midway.

He seemed to enjoy it. Here he tells his Mom all about it.

This was Texas-OU Weekend, and football fans were everywhere.

Mikey checks out a new car in the Automobile Building, dreaming of five years from now when he can drive.

Mikey goes up the climbing wall. He reached the top and rang the bell.

Sunday morning the congregation stands while singing at Prestonwood Baptist Church.

After the service we toured the areas of the church, starting here at the atrium entrance.

Sunday afternoon at the Gaylord Texan, a resort and conference center on Lake Grapevine.
Kim is on an elevated walkway in the Alamo section. The atrium has a giant star in its center.

Kim and Mikey admire the many flowers and shrubs in the Lone Star Atrium.

Watching the fountain in front of Mission Plaza. A replica of the Alamo is in the background.

Kim and Mikey pause to take in a waterfall on the make believe Guadalupe River.

Smile, Mikey, Mom's taking your picture. A giant oil derrick can be seen in the background.

We had lunch at the Riverwalk Cafe beside the San Antonio River. Here Mikey struggles to remove the shell from a shrimp.
The menu is a one-price all-you-can-eat brunch, and the food was excellent.

A magician performed card and coin tricks at our table, delighting Mikey.

The balloon man asked Mikey what he is interested in. Mikey answered "Star Wars".

So he makes Mikey a Darth Vader helmet.

Mikey thought it looked good on his Mom.

Mikey points out a red fish in the river at the Riverwalk Cafe.

A replica of Palo Duro Canyon in the Lone Star Atrium.

The brochure says: "Under a magnificent glass atrium, you'll stroll amidst four-and-a-half acres of lush indoor gardens, winding pathways,
and a flowing river as you unwind, explore, shop, and dine to your heart's content." Here Kim and Mikey stroll a pathway in the Hill Country.
