Texas trip

At the end of May we went to Texas to visit Melisa and Joshua and Amelia. We had a good time and we're grateful for their hospitality! They're also good tour guides.

We went to a snake farm. We actually got to touch the albino reticulated python (I think that's what these are) and I got to hold a ball python too. Too bad we had to fly home or we could have bought one for $40! :)


Then we went to San Antonio and toured the riverwalk and took the boat ride. That's us in the back of the boat. It was hot. And humid. Poor Christopher was just dripping sweat by the end of the ride and even passed up ice cream in favor of cold bottled water. Matt and his dad also explored The Alamo.


We got to go up to the lake house owned by Joshua's boss and the boys got the Sea Doo up and running. Matt went out first with his mom and Christopher.


After Matt & his dad flew back to AZ to go back to work, Grandma and I took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese one morning while Melisa got some shopping done. They were both quite excited when Chuck E. came out to visit. Christopher had to show him his new cars.


A crib box makes for great play time. Amelia was quite content, in bunny ears and pajamas, to color in one of the boxes, while Christopher and Grandma had a fun time driving the other one on all sorts of errands.

Snakes creep me out. I'm not really afraid to touch them, but they just look eery. I never got to say thanks for letting us use your pool. So kind of you!
