Our Trip To Houston

At the beginning of August our family took a weekend trip to Houston. We had such a good time. We spent one day going to parks and the mall and just hanging out and enjoying ourselves. The boys loved playing at the park.

We spent one day at the beach as well. This is when we lost Carson. That is the scariest thing that has happened to me so far. Carson was so sad after he was lost. I took this picture of him as he was walking back to the van.
One of the fun things about going on vacation is that you get to stay in really nice hotels. Cater loved taking baths and putting on the big robe that was in the hotel room. He would put the robe on and then lay in the middle of the bed and relax. Carson enjoyed drinking his soda out of the fancy wine glasses that they had in the room.

We spent the last day of our trip at the natural history museum in downtown Houston. It was really neat. We got to see some of the clay warriors (they wouldn't let us take pictures of them). Carson loved the animals that they had in the museum he would stand in front of them all and say "take my picture with this one." He really like the hippo for some reason.





I also wanted to include a picture of Carson's new haircut. He is really good and sits still while I cut his hair so I decided to try something new. I love it.

I miss the water!

I really miss the water. We had such a good time this summer going to the pool and to Sea World. I am sad that it is over. The worst part is that summer doesn't feel over. It has been in the high 90's or 100's still. We need rain so bad. Everything is dying because there is no rain and we are on stage 3 water restrictions. Please send us some rain. We need it so bad.

We Love Swimming!

We love to swim. It seems like all of our activities have to do with the water. We have gone to the little pool near our house, Sea World, and last weekend we went to the beach. I didn't get to take any pictures at the beach because silly me left my camera in the van. We had a really fun trip until Carson walked off while I wasn't looking. We were all so scared we couldn't find him anywhere. Good thing there are nice people in this world. Some one took him to the lifeguard stand. He was missing for about 30 minutes. I was never happier to see him.

These pictures are from one of our trips to Sea World.

My boys are such posers. I told them to smile so I could take their pictures and this is what they each did. I love it.



And you can't forget baby Mackenzie. She is getting so big.

More swimming and pictures to come.
