Houston

The last week of March Grant, the kids, and I went to Houston to see Scott, Nichole, and Aidan. We went to see Scott and help with Aidan. Scott had been in the hospital battling cancer. His battle ended on April 12th. Both Grant and I are glad we were able to spend the week out there. Even though the reason for going wasn't a fun one we did enjoy our time we had with Aidan. We did lots of fun things with the kids.




The kids were a big hit on our flights. They got to go into the cockpit and talk to the "driver's" of the plane.


With the weather being different then it is here or in ND we were able to put on our shorts and sunglasses and enjoy the nice weather! We went on lots of walks and had a picnic for every meal.

We baked cookies with the kids

We went to Kema, which is a boardwalk with lots of fun things to do.

While at Kema we rode the train. Elliot was in heaven!

We also went to Galvenston, TX, so the kids could play in the ocean. The plan was to just walk along the beach, but it ended up in the kids stripping down to their underwear and me making a trip to the store to buy dry clothes! They had so much fun though so it was all worth it. We ended our trip to Galveston with some yummy seafood.
