1 more trip!

William starts school tomorrow (I know, super early), and we wanted to do something fun before we get nailed down to the school schedule.... We decided on a trip to Houston: it's close, family/friends live there, NASA (which Dave has been wanting to take the boys to for a long time), golf, shopping, and a side trip to BlueBell. 

It was a great trip, as it always is when we go down there. It was fun this time especially because it was just us. Normally we head down there with a whole herd of people, so the weekend ends up being crazy. 

Dave took the boys to NASA on Saturday, ALL day. They spent 7 hours there, and they loved every minute of it.

While they were NASAing, Crew and I hung out with the Talkington clan....

 and Crew was busy pushing around stools and tormenting their little puppy...

On Sunday William, Hudson and I went with Haley to check out her horse, Heaven. The boys had a BLAST riding her, and Haley was gracious enough to show them how to feed/saddle up/bathe/etc her beautiful horse. They even got a chance to ride her bareback!

On Monday we decided to go to my Mecca. We figured out that Brenham (home of Blue Bell ice cream) was only about 1 hour from their house, and not too far out of the way to go home. It was SO worth it!! We got to take a tour of the plant, watch them make ice cream, see how the whole operation works, and of course, EAT ice cream at the end. SO FUN!!!!!

We also got to watch lots of Olympics, swim in the pool, Dave played golf, I shopped with Julie and Haley, had Indian food with everyone plus our good friends DJ and Kami, stayed up super late (always a must when I'm visiting Julie!), and had lots and lots of fun.
It was a perfect little trip before William starts 1st grade tomorrow.
