Houston Roadtrip - Monday (Day 2)

On Monday, the girls & I headed to the Kemah Boardwalk to meet up with some family. It was definitely hot, but we had a wonderful time visiting & catching up with them.

KEMAH BOARDWALK!

Joe's Crab Shack for lunch!
The girls loved Marlo!

Me with my Aunt Shari & Cousin, Janna

Aquarium to look at the fish!

Marlo with the girls

Fish-face girls!

Next stop - the train around Kemah!

Excited for the train ride to start!

It felt like 150* there so we stayed cool by drinking some Icees!!

The girls were out before I even made it 5 minutes down the road...

When we got home, we changed into our swim suits & headed out to the pool!

Lots of fun in the POOL!!

After baths, Ms. Wendy let the girls help her pick some tomatoes!

They had so much fun!

Using their new arts & craft set from Ms. Wendy

The girls told Ms. Wendy & Mr. Robin that they loved the show "Swamp People" and Mr. Robin showed them this awesome alligator head he has! WOW!

Houston Roadtrip - Sunday (Day 1)

The girls and I headed out on our Houston Roadtrip last Sunday morning. We stopped by Red Box on the way out so we could get 2 movies to watch! They were the best travelers ever!!!

We stopped in Fairfield for lunch @ McDonald's and a couple of other rest stops!

We made a few stops in Spring, where I grew up. It was fun to drive around and visit my old stompin' grounds! :)

Leonard George Stadium - named after my dad when he retired in 2000.

Pretty cool to drive by on I-45 and see his name! :)

My middle school - Twin Creeks

The house that built me - lots of great memories!

My elementary school - Winship Elementary

The snowcone stand in front of my old neighborhood. We used to walk here many times during the summer from the back of the neighborhood!

From Spring, we had another 45 minutes to an hour to drive.

The girls took advantage of the drive & got in a power nap!

YAY! We made it!! Happy to see Ms. Wendy!

We went to dinner @ Chuy's Mexican restaurant.

Ms. Wendy & Kaelyn

Me & Shae

Their kids' meal came up with a push-up pop! Yummy!

That night, the girls loved helping Ms. Wendy water her plants.

Summertime Fun!

We are having lots of fun this summer! Here's a little of what we've been up to!!

Loving their new American Girl dolls from Mimi & Papi. These dolls go everywhere!!

We had an impromptu slumber party at Mimi & Papi's house because our AC was broken. The next morning, Mimi took us to breakfast at a cute cafe. The girls LOVED bringing their dolls in with them to eat!

They colored pictures & the waitress hung them up on the "wall of fame!"
