houston vacation

haha... I definitely never thought I would put those 2 words together! (Those of you who knew me in college understand!) But indeed it was - a Houston vacation. Weekend before last we visited my 2 brothers and their fams who are currently all in H-town. And what a trip it was! From little girl play time at the pool (um... and Mommy might've enjoyed the water slides a bit herself!), to Mommy time at a "Go Green Party", some good shopping time with my 2 sis-in-laws, the Cockrell Butterfly Exhibit, the park, the Rainforest Cafe, and just lots of good playtime fun was had by all. It was hard narrowing down pictures but here are a few that made the cut! :D

A bit of early morning fun for Charlee and Maria. These 2 girls are just too sweet with each other!


lil' ol' ladies at the pool!


ah! Yes, you are seeing this correctly! Is she for real? I couldn't believe she was so excited about cockroaches! Run!


"ooo-oh" Maria was quite fascinated by the butterfly display...


and the bee display...


and the "bam bam" demonstration given by her Godfather, Nonk B.


All the girls. :) (Thanks to Uncle Cole for taking a bazillion quick pics so that I at least had one decent shot!)


...and the fish tank at the Rainforest Cafe. (I guess she liked them all!)

Nana and Pa with their grandgirls. :) (Someday we'll get a picture with adults and kids all looking in the same direction!)


Whoa Pa, that is a huge puppy dog... I mean elephant!


And the sweet sleepy baby zonked out after a crazy weekend. :)


Who apparently had no trouble waking up for an icecream pitstop at DQ!

Thanks to the bros and their wifeys for letting us crash at their casas! I know we were quite the entourage this past trip. And I'm glad you finally wisened up to your sis' good Texas sense! ;)
