Our trip down to Texas

Here is a post of what we did and how much fun we had this Christmas break while in Texas!!! We loved it sooo much and had such a wonderful time! It did not seem like it would ever end....but sadly it did and we are back in Rexburg. We had a whole itinerary planned every day we were there, but by friday we were pooped!!! It is not easy traveling with three kids and a pregnant woman! :) Our families made it EXTREMELY wonderful!!! Some of the things we did while we were down there was : Katy Mills Mall, The Children's Museum in Houston, The Blue Bell factory in Brenham, Stomping Playgrounds, Had the girls pictures taken at First Colony, Christmas shopping, and of course....EATING AT ALL OUR FAVORITE PLACES!!!!! THAT was a very important part for us! (especially me since I am very picky right now about what I want to eat) :) Some of the places we ate at were :Western Steakhouse, The Jay Cafe, Rita's Mexican Restaurant, IHOP, The Rainforest Cafe, Whataburger, Shipley's Donuts. MMMMMMMM soooo gooooood!!!!!   Here are some pictures to enjoy!!

The hotel we stayed at on the way down in New Mexico. The girls were so excited to have found a ball to play with lol.

My poor tired but happy still husband. He drove SOOO much compared to me and I love him for it!

At the children's museum in Houston

Little house window.

and here's Claudia too!

It was awesome to be there early without any other kids playing on the games yet. This was a fun light game you stepped on!

The girls had a lot of fun spending time on this.

Arthur could not resist either :P

Really trying to help Summer catch the light.This picture she almost got it.

Yay for Summer!

Fun jump thingy!

The girls LOVED this station where we built our own vehicles and raced them.Love the concentration on Summer's face.

Digging for more!

Here we go!

Getting ready to race more!

Taking pictures with the cow!

"Come on Summer! Come and take a picture with us!"

UDDER!

Oh my silly and wonderful adorable husband HAD to stick his face in this thing for a picture. It was the texture hall I believe.

Eating at the Jay Cafe!

Cute!

Had to show you that Claudia had lost her first tooth a while back. Just didn't post a pic until now! :P She lost it the day before thanksgiving. It is the lower left (your view) incisor.

Eating the yumminess that is Blue bell. I believe she got strawberry?

Claudia is loving it! She got sugar cookie.mmmmmm

"Mom! How long have you been keeping this from me!" lol This is the first time Summer had Bluebell. :) Pure goodness.

Saying goodbye at the Bluebell Christmas tree with their little cows.
