Spring Break 2010
Houston, Texas
For my spring break I have always stayed home and relaxed around the house. This year I was determined to do something or go somewhere. So Ian and I packed up and headed out of the snow blizzard in Utah to warm weather in Houston, Texas (Tim stayed home and went to school)! One of my best friends lives there so we decided it had been too long and we needed to visit. You would never know that all of us had not seen each other in over a year. From the moment they picked us up at the airport it was just like we were lounging on the couch with the babies playing and Lisa, Ella, and I watching something silly on TV like American Idol. We pulled into their home and normally Ian is a little bashful at first but not this time, he was super excited and ready to play with the kids as if he were right at home!
Their favorite activity -playing basketball and running back and forth.
Cavin, Ella, and Ian. Ian loved playing with the kids morning and night.
Definitely having fun!
Ian and Cavin posing for a picture.
Ian and Cavin are just 6 weeks apart and each have their own personalities. Ian is a little ball of energy and loves to play rough with little to no fear. Cavin is a little more tender/sensitive and does not like to play quite so rough. Even so they still got along well, Ian just had to be sure not to look at Cavin in the wrong way :)
Ella did not mind playing rough she though it was pretty fun unless Ian got too hyped up.
Giving hugs -both of them a little too tightly!
Partners in crime. Really they would stand at the door and the race off to the couch or around to the back door at least 10 times.
Relaxing on the couch.
Playing with the trains.
Playing Play-doh
Besides library time, playing at the park, and running around outside and inside, we even went to the Houston Zoo. Ian loves animals and one of his favorite things to do is go to the zoo. It was much bigger than the Logan Zoo -although I am not sure what isn't bigger than the Logan Zoo.
Looking at the Giraffes
The McNair Elephants -random but quite funny
One late night Lisa and I ventured out like silly teenagers into the Ghetto of Houston. Don't worry we left the kids asleep at home with Ragnar -well almost asleep :) Thanks Ragnar. We headed to the ghetto to see the movie "The Last Song" and had quite the experience. About 20 minutes to go in the movie we heard this "gun" shot. There were only 5 other ladies in the audience and after they talked about what it could have been we all sat very low in our seats and finished the movie anyway. We don't know what it was -we just made sure we were not the first or the last people to stand up and leave. Definitely the ghetto :)
We all had a blast and if it were not for the hot hot summers in Houston I would be right back in June! Thanks for letting us stay with you and making us feel like we were right at home! Thanks Ragnar for letting me steal Lisa away from you for the week too! We'll miss you but hopefully we'll see you soon!
Had to leave with a video of the kids dancing around.
You can really tell that they loved being together.
