Spring Break

We had Spring Break a few weeks ago.  I took the kids over to Houston Saturday-Tuesday.  We stayed with my in-laws and had several things planned.  Saturday when we drove in, we met up with my friend, Kathleen and her two boys for lunch.  After that, we just hung out with Harry and Mary.

Sunday morning, we headed to the Houston Zoo.  A cold front had come in and it was 47 degrees, but we still had a good time.  The reptile and snake area was Tyler's favorite.  I think Molly's favorite was watching the elephants get baths.  We all enjoyed the cougars who were playing.

 

 

 

 

 

These two cougars kept chasing each other, it was fun to watch

 

After the zoo, we had to get pizza from Pepperoni's. It was delicious!

Sunday evening, I got to go to dinner with Dana and Deanna.  No picture though.

Monday we went with Dana and her son, Grayson to NASA.  It was a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed it.

Tyler was as thrilled as ever to take picture

We went on a tram tour of the training facility and to rocket park where we saw the enormous Saturn V.

 

Tuesday morning, we met my friend, Jennifer for breakfast.  Then we met back up with Kathleen and her boys at a really cool park. After playing for over an hour, we headed home.

The boys didn't want to pose for a picture, but this is the 3 of them on this cool thing that they loved.  It'd move from left to right and go really fast.

 

All in all it was a fun few days.  We got to go to some cool places, I got to see several of my friends, and we spent time with Harry and Mary.  The rest of Spring Break as just spent at home playing with neighbors and friends.
