We went to the Houston Rodeo where Whitney saw all sorts of farm animals and ate carnival food and Brooke slept(almost the whole time). It was warm, but not hot so I was happy about that. It was a little humid the days we were there, but not as bad as it is in the summer.
We went with some cousins to the Houston Children's Museum. When we drove up there were tons of buses parked outside. I thought that it was going to be super crowded but the building was so big that I hardly noticed any other kids. We didn't even see everything, but we had lots of fun with what we did get to see. The girls were so tired by the time we left, they both fell asleep in the car.
Whitney had never been to pick fresh strawberries, so when we went it was a fun experience for her. We found one strawberry that was actually 4 berries that had grown together. We picked a whole bucket. I was going to make some kind of dessert out of them for everyone, but I guess I didn't get around to it.
We got to spend some time at a couple of our favorite hangouts from when we used to live there. We went to T-Bone Tom's with most of the family. This restaurant was featured on the food network and the food is delish! We also went to the Kemah Boardwalk where we road a few carnival rides and fed a huge group of discusting fish.
The drive home was just a little awful. The girls cried alot and we were all tired. We left Wednesday night and drove til 2am and then got a hotel room. The next day we drove the rest of the way and got home with enough daylight left for the girls to play outside and get some energy out before bedtime. We had a great time and look forward to the next time we can get away for a little vacay!
