As you may know, we made a family trip to Houston in November. The weather was beautiful, and we all enjoyed seeing family members we hadn't seen in quite a while...and some family who the boys had never met.
We flew from Oklahoma City to Houston, which went surprisingly well. We stayed in Houston with my cousin Jenny and her family. We visited Space Center Houston one day, and enjoyed a behind the scenes tour by my cousin Brenda's husband, Jim. The next day we went to Brenda and Jim's house. The little ones enjoyed meeting one another, and our boys enjoyed trying to catch fish in the lake behind the house.
After leaving Brenda's, we headed to Galveston, where we nearly had the beach to ourselves. Evidently, to Texan's, 67 degrees is NOT beach weather. However, when you're from Missouri, that's at least wadin' weather! The boys enjoyed getting totally soaked (did I actually think they could just wade?). Isaac spotted a crab of some sort, and spent the majority of his beach visit walking on top of Jeff's cowboy boots! He was not gettin' on that sand for anything!
The entire trip was enjoyable, and the boys have already mentioned going back. (I think that was during a recent snow, when it was too messy and cold to go outside! "I wish we were in Texas again!")
We are daily reminded of how blessed we are...healthy children, loving family, and all the comforts of home. We hope your Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations were wonderful.
Love to you all,
Leslie and the guys
