Houston

The first week in July, Caroline and I flew to Houston to visit my friend Summer and her daughter Chloe. We had a great time and we can't wait to see them again! Here are pictures from that week.

Day 1: Summer lives in a great neighborhood that has many amenities including 2 pools. We went to one of the pools the first day and let the girls play together. *We went to the pool most every day because the girls had a great time swimming together.




Day 2: We were busy from the get go. We took the girls to a bounce house place close to Summer's house and they had a good time. They especially loved the slide.




Day 2 (cont.): Summer and her husband Chris play on a co-ed soccer team together and they had a game and we took the girls out to watch.





Day 3: Summer's Neighborhood had a children's parade for the 4th of July so we decorated the waggon and showed our spirit. At the end of the parade route there was a small "fair" like atmosphere with rides and games for kids.




Day 4 (4th of July): We traveled to Lake Livingston (about 1 hour outside of Houston) to visit some of Summer's friends at their lake house. The girls got in the lake, but weren't thrilled because it was quite rough. They had a great time playing in the swing despite the rough water.






Day 4 (cont.): That night, we went to a fireworks display in Kingwood. Caroline pronounces fireworks like "walker-works." Not sure where that came from.






Day 6: We went to the Woodlands Mall this day and the girls rode on the Carousel and played in the kids area of the mall. Summer and I both spent way too much money on kids clothes that day!







Day 6 (cont.): This was also Summer's birthday so she had all of her family over for dinner. We had a great meal and both Caroline and I enjoyed spending time with their relatives.




Day 7: We caught a plane back to Tallahassee this day so all we did was pack. No fun pictures of that, sorry!
