NASA

Astronaut Hunter!  We went to Space Center Houston on Thursday!  We really didn't know if Hunter would like it or not.  We have never really talked about outer space or anything like that so we just didn't know... well he LOVED it!  He was so interested in everything!  

This helmet was a little too heavy.  

Hunter was so interested in the astronauts.  He learned a lot!  Next time you see him, you should ask him about it! 

On the moon! 

The car they drove on the moon.

Us waiting to watch a movie type thing about going to the moon.  Maggie did really well during this show!  Hunter was all into it! 

This was my first time to go to NASA in Houston.  If you are ever in Houston, you should go!  They have a lot of stuff for kids to do.  Maggie was a little to young, but Hunter really enjoyed it!  I think we will go back in a few years when he is a little older.  

Oh and we did get...

sooo good!!!!  Hunter loved it, because it wasn't cold and it didn't melt.  Yummy!!!  You should go there just for the ice cream if you ask me! :)

Thank you Nana and Grumpy!  We had a great time!  

Wednesday in Houston...

So last Monday we went and saw dinosaurs.  Tuesday we went to the beach.  What did we do Wednesday????  

You know... just monkeyed around... at the Houston Zoo! :) 

We had a great time!  I think since we went on a Wednesday there weren't as many people there, which made it nice!  

Maggie and Hunter both loved petting and brushing the goats!

Maggie could have done this all day long!

(notice Mags hair is still a little crazy from the sunscreen at the beach from the day before)

They love goats!  Honey and Coach's neighbors have goats that they go to see every time they are in Lindsey.  Maybe we should find some brushes and see if they will us brush them...  ummm maybe not. :)  I don't think they are as sweet as these goats were.  

We also saw some baby elephants!  They were so cute... but a little stinky! :)

Jayne carried Hunter for a little while in this blue thing.  I think she realized while he might have been light to carry with that thing, he sure was hot on her back.  It was very hot that day. 

We didn't take many picture at the zoo, but we did have a great time!  The kids did great!  Maggie walked a lot of the time.  She is getting so big!  

So what do you think we did on Thursday??  Any guesses??  

Beach babes!

So more about our trip to Houston!  On Tuesday we went to the beach!  We were all so excited!  We got up early and headed down the road to Galveston.  

Hunter could hardly wait to get his feet in the sand!  He was so excited! 

As soon as we got the tent up, Hunter and Grumpy got in the waves! 

Maggie really liked it!  She was running in and out of the water!  

Stompin' in the water with Nana

And run back up to the sand... she then would turn back around and run into the water again. :)

Miss Gracie's first time at the beach!!  Yay! :)

All covered in sunscreen! :)

Splashing in the waves!  Jayne, Gracie, Grumpy, Hunter and Daddy! 

Playing in the sand! 

Hunter and Maggie played together for a while.  We just watched.

They really are best friends.  

Maggie did eat a little sand here... yuck! :)

Sweet kids! 

Sand castles with Nana time!! 

Maggie wasn't really into building a sand castle, but Hunter loved it! 

They sat out there for a while building their castle. 

Hunter was very serious about their sand castle. 

Almost done... as you can see Maggie was gone a long time ago.  She can't sit still! :)  She was busy with Grumpy...

They played in the water for a while! 

You see Maggie would run and knock Grumpy down and then they both would laugh and laugh!  It was so cute to watch!!!

Oh and can you see Mag's hair??  Well she would not wear a hat, so I sprayed her head with sunscreen.   Can you imagine what her hair felt like?  Yeah... it was pretty gross and it took a couple of days to get all the sunscreen out, but her head did not get burned!!!  And her hair is even lighter!  Maybe next time I'll put sunscreen in my hair, too... :)

Hunter loved fighting the waves!! 

He would punch them, 

chop them, 

kick them

chest bump them, 

even hiney them! 

His eyes were all red from the salt water, but he didn't care!  He LOVED fighting the waves! :)

While Hunter was fighting waves, Maggie was chasing the birds!  She would see a bird sitting on the sand and would run to catch it!  It was so cute and fun!  She never caught one, but had a lot of fun running after them! 

So before we headed home Hunter, Maggie and Daddy had a huge mud fight! 

Maggie was really getting into it! 

Just look at that boy! 

Hunter loved it! 

Maggie got a little muddy, too! :)

And the winner of the mud fight... Hunter and Maggie!!!  Daddy was by far the muddiest! :)

Gracie had to put her toes in the water one last time before we left! 

Isn't she soo cute!!  Nana and Gracie right before we headed home. 

We had such a great time at the beach! 

Maggie was asleep before we put the truck in drive! 

And Hunter really tried to stay awake, but was asleep before we were out of Galveston! 

What a great day at the beach!  Thank you Nana and Grumpy! :)
