Houston!

We spent the last week visiting Steve's family in Houston, and had a wonderful time. It was great to see Isabella and Jack play and spend quality time with their Grams and Great Grams. We spent time at Great Gram's house, the Houston Children's Museum, shopping and eating some wonderful food. It was sad to say goodbye and think that it will be several years till we get back to Houston, but know that Grams and Great Grams will have fun visiting us in Germany!

At the Children's Museum. One of the exhibits was all about telephones. Isabella was able to practice dialing 911, and playing with all the different types.




Her favorite was the switchboard.

In the same exhibit they had typical musical instruments from Vietnam, which Isabella enjoyed playing.

One of the coolest parts of the museum was the miniature city. It had all the typical city facilities, including a grocery shop, veterinarian, bank, bike shop, diner, TV station and city hall. It was too bad that it was so busy, but Isabella still enjoyed it!

And then charging Daddy for her work.


The police squad car was very popular, but we waited in line so that she could sit in the driver's seat.


Grocery "shopping"


She just had to have the drink mix.


There was a great tot play area that was perfect for Jack.


He found EVERYTHING in the room that had wheels.
