Trip to Houston

We took a 3 hour drive up to Houston this weekend. Erich was there with Stephanie's family and Tammy decided to fly in from Seattle. We had a wonderful, relaxing (as relaxing as you can be with 4-year-olds), fun-filled time. A visit to NASA for our future astronauts, two trips to the Marriott swimming pool, a little window shopping for Tam and I, and a night of bowling for all of us. Oh, and a quick stop into IKEA on our way home, love it! So, enjoy the pics...

We found a candy factory down from our hotel.. The boys picked giant suckers and Tammy introduced them to Pop Rocks which they were reluctant to try but did love.

Getting Henry ready for a night out on the town.

Henry watching, hoping that ball knocks down just one more pin.

Check out the matching shoes... Is that not the cutest thing ever?

After about 5 turns at bowling the boys had enough so we ventured over to the giant jungle gym where the boys played in the pool of germ-laden balls and had races down the big slides.
Henry and Tammy spelling each others names (he misses her very badly, and reminds me of it often).

Erich and Nelson on a stroll to Ben and Jerry's (this morning he renamed his LeeLee, Erich...To those that know what LeeLee is, that is a huge deal).
