Fun Trip to Houston

This past weekend, we went to visit our friends Bev and Geoff Smith and their sweet kids Avery, Colin and Noel. We had a great time. The girls got to have a slumber party with Avery for two nights.

Saturday, they cooked out a yummy dinner and we went swimming. It was nice to put the kids down and have adult conversation. The Smiths moved a few months ago and we have missed them ever since.

On Sunday, we went to the zoo. It rained on us for about an hour and then it was sunny again. As soon as the sun came out, so did the humidity and we were sweating buckets. Ah, Houston in the summer time. Sunday night, the kids got out some Legos and worked together and we had another yummy dinner!

Monday, we got up, had a great breakfast and then went swimming. After swimming, we left to come home. We stopped to look at the Sam Houston Statue outside of Huntsville, TX. At first the girls weren't too sure about the statue. After we saw it, they said that they wanted to see another statue.

We had a great time and enjoyed staying with the Smith's! We really miss them.
