First we took the kids to Crocodile Encounter in Angleton. It was AMAZING! Even though it was super cold (for us Texans) it was really cool. We saw quite a few alligators and crocodiles. We saw turtles and snakes and all kinds of fun stuff. We will definitely be going back in the spring so that we can see the animals when they are even more active. I was trying to figure out a way to have the boy's birthday there, but I really don't think I can get our friends to drive 2 hours for a birthday party.
After we left there it was still pretty early, so we decided to head down to Galveston to do another activity. We had initially planned to do it on Monday, but it was supposed to rain that day, so we decided to seize the day! We went to the Pirate Museum. I must admit, it looks like a rinky dink tourist trap from the outside, but it was SUPER cool! We all learned a whole lot and had a good time playing in the museum. I love that our kids enjoy learning and museums.
On Sunday we went to church with GiGi and enjoyed seeing friends that we hadn't seen in a while. While we were there I had to take Josephine into the hall because she was being a bit...loud. My friend from high school was also in the hall with his baby. It was a surreal moment...there we stood rocking our baby girls in the same hallway we had walked through a gazillion times while growing up! I guess that saying "The more things change, the more they stay the same" is true.
Monday was pretty laid back. I mean really, what do two Mormon parents with three kids do one New Years Eve? We eat pizza and watch The Odd Life of Timothy Green! I highly recommend the movie by the way. It was nice to be able to relax for a day before heading home.
On Tuesday we went home to wind down before James had to go back to work. It was really a fun weekend and one that the kids are still talking about.
