Days 2 and 3 in Texas

Our next couple of days in Texas were spent adventuring out a little to the Natural Science Museum and at a GREAT park! The weather was TERRIBLE the first day. We were warned by Eric and Heather that Texas rain showers and storms are not light...they were right. The wind was so strong it blew our umbrellas inside out and the rain was so hard you could not help but be drenched from walking just a short distance from the car to the Museum. It was crazy weather. But, that is why we chose an inside activity for the day. The Museum was really neat! It had everything you could imagine and want in a natural science museum from a dinosaur exhibit to a vault filled with beautiful jewelery and rocks of every kind. It was a huge museum and we could have spent all day there. That evening we had a great BBQ again and celebrated Chris' (Bryan's Brother) birthday. Eric made a yummy cheesecake. It was a good day! Oooo....and I almost forgot, the real highlight of our day was meeting Emma...who was asleep when we arrived the day before. The girls loved meeting their new baby cousin and spent quite a bit of time wanting to hold her, talk with her, and "help out" in anyway they could.
The following day was Sunday and Bryan's parents and brother Chris flew to other destinations. We spent the day at a wonderful park in the middle of a beautiful neighborhood. It was created and built by the community and was designed with a lot of woodwork detail and something for every age. We played for hours swinging, sliding,climbing, and running around. The weather was not raining on Sunday but was cold and very windy. As you will see in the pictures we were all bundled up. I even wore gloves and a down coat....thank you Heather for letting us borrow your coat, hats, scarfs, and gloves. We had come prepared for hot/warm weather. Not colder then home temperatures. The park was a great way to get all the kids energy out and have fun at the same time. We then returned home where Maddie and Eric made some yummy chocolate chip cookies. :) A great ending to a great day! There are still more adventures to share. I will keep working on posting as I get the time.

Sorry these pictures are not exactly in order...but still fun none the less. Enjoy!
