First off, we took the kids to their first Cirque de Soleil show as my early birthday present. Sydney loved it. Liam thought it was just OK. Evan was asleep by the end. So now we know to only buy three tickets to that sort of thing and find a babysitter for the other two!
The boys spent some time with my parents while Syd and I took in a movie and dog-sat for my sister. Max was not too thrilled to have company, but I did find it hilarious that my sister's dog, who is easily twice the size of Max, kept giving him "you are such an idiot" looks.
Then the kids went to Ryan's mom's house for a couple of days so that I could paint the bathroom (pictures coming soon).
And the real fun began. Ryan took off a couple of days and we drove out to the Blue Bell Creamery (along with everyone else from the area). We'd taken the tour a few years ago, but the boys didn't remember it so we decided to take it again. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside, but we managed to still have some fun outside while we waited for our turn:
And there was a "free" sample at the end:
We went on to play at super cool park in the area and have lunch at the tiny airport's diner. There's nothing like eating and watching small planes take off and land.
We finished off our week at Kemah, which is definitely a tourist trap, but still lots of fun:
(Their very first Icee's!)
And my favorite pictures from the whole week:
We had a great time, but now I'm worried that they're going to expect this kind of fun all summer long!
