Houston Part 2




So, I forgot to get my camera out for our first day in Houston and missed getting any pictures with Jonathon, who is Aunt Gail's only grandchild. He left after that to spend his spring break with his mom. He is a couple of years older than Kaylin, but was so nice to the girls and knew how to play with them! Thanks Jonathon for the fun day with you! Next time...I won't forget the camera! These pictures are from Day 2, the day of the museums. Houston has a whole section dedicated to Museums, which makes it really easy to visit more than one a day, since they are all so close to each other! We started out at the Children's Museum where the kids had fun doing all sorts of things, including painting their own faces! I love how Kaylin's letters were written backwards becasue she was looking in the mirror and they looked right to her! Kaylin built her own little contraption to roll balls down. It was a masterpiece! After that we went to the Museum of Natural History. We saw dinosaur bones, learned about drilling for oil, saw a lion about to bite into a Zebra...not unlike Alex and Marty from Madagascar...a family fav! We got to see a million rocks, minerals, gems, and jewelry, and finally made it to the butterfly garden where at the VERY LAST ssecond before heading up the stairs to leave, a butterfly FINALLY landed on Hailey, changing the the worst day of her life to the best! The day was finished up with a visit from cousin Karen and her dog Chester and Jonathon's dog Skipper (the dogs also happen to be brothers). What a great day!!!

What great pictures! It looks like you guys had a blast! Bless that sweet butterfly for landing on Hailey, I'm sure she needed it! It looks like Karen got the memo on the yellow shirts for the day! We're going with you next time!
