Houston- Spring Break '12

       Over Spring Break Josh, Davis and I drove out to see some wonderful friends and family who live in Houston, TX.  Josh's childhood best friend Jad Hixon, and his sweet fiancee Elspeth have lived in Houston for several years.  (Jad and Elspeth are getting married in April, in Memphis.  We are so excited to be there....stay tuned for pics of that trip)  We have told them several years we wanted to visit so we did.  Also, my wonderful cousin Craig, and his fun and sweet wife Jill have been out there for a year, so it gave us double the reason to go :)  It took us 11 hours to drive out.  We stopped several times but one stop was in Lafayette, LA where they had an amazing nature walk. 

 Davis loved running and just looking for ducks.  Our boy LOVES ducks!!

When we finally got there we got to play at a couple of parks for Davis' sake, went to an amazing Art Festival, ate some GOOD food, grilled out, visited the Zoo and Aquarium, laughed alot, shopped, and just enjoyed some special time with family and friends.   

 

  

The Boys ready for the Zoo!  Josh, Jad (Josh's childhood best friend) and Davis.  Lathered up with sunscreen and we are ready to go.

 Wordless Wonder:  He was so amazed by the birds flying.

Hey Ducks.....Davis loved the ducks at the Zoo. 

  

                                                Davis did NOT like the Monkeys, which, I can't blame him after seeing that big thing scratching and eating and just walking around.....

 

 Craig grilled for us and boy oh boy it was amazing. He grilled enough for an army.....like Father like Son (he would have made his dad so proud)

Craig and Jill had a neat little park down the hill from their apartment.  Davis loved playing on the slide and most importantly the puppies that walked by..."Hey Puppy, Hey Puppy!!"

The aquarium in Houston was great. Davis was not to excited about the BIG fish, but he loved the BIG kitty!! 

 

                                                                    


Davis loved helping Jill with the laundry...
especially putting it on my head :)

It's HOT mommy!!

While in Houston we bought Davis a wooden truck at an Art Festival.  Along with the truck Jill bought Davis an elephant from a cool little shop in downtown.  It's name is Al and is made from recycled cashmere.
