Houston
We took a short weekend trip to Houston the first part of October. It was a great weekend. We started out going to the dog races where all of us, including the kids, picked a dog that won a race! Then we went to Rainforest Cafe'. Brock has wanted to go thre for a long time and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. After eating we went to Galveston Beach. We had swimming suits for the boys, but told them we were just going to get our feet wet. It all started out good...
...then turned into jumping into the waves...
...then all out swimming. They had a blast and wore their dry swimming suits in the car to the hotel!
Once back at the hotel, we went for a swim in the indoor pool...
...and hot tub. (Not a word about my "Squiggy" hair!!)
After swimming, the boys were so exhausted they fell asleep quickly. I thought this was such a sweet picture.
The following day, we went to the Johnson Space Center. They had a big Lego display that Ryan and Brock loved. Here is Brock next to a life-size knight made entirely of Legos...
...and Ryan next to a dragon made out of Legos...
...one more Lego knight. The pictures don't even do them justice. They were really cool.
Brock in a shuttle lander simulator. He was close to landing it without crashing, but never quite got there.
Astronaut Ryan
Pretending we were in a shuttle. They had cameras and intercom so we could communicate with other people pretending they were at Houston's JSC command room. I don't think this shuttle was made for people my height!
Mommy and her boys outside JSC.
Steve got up one morning to find the boys lying on the couch together. I thought it was so cute we just had to take a picture!
After bath
Steve caught a lizard for Ryan to hold and pet. Ryan was so excited I thought he was going to squish it.
After their first YMCA camping trip this year, the boys arrived home with new hats. They won them for carving the best jack-o-lantern.
Brock and Ryan with all their Star Wars toys (on windowsill) and Millenium Falcon we got at a garage sale. I think their fingers are supposed to be guns.
Brock and Ryan decided they wanted to take Daddy roller skating since we had so much fun this summer. They started to really get the hang of it.
Steve's mom came and visited for the boy's birthdays. We all enjoyed her stay.
