Houston day #1

We made it to Houston! Todd woke up at 3am on Sunday morning and said, "Let's GO" so we jumped in the car and headed off! I am really glad he did because we got there around 1:30, right after lunch. Dain and Chrissy had prepared a gourmet meal for us and it was FABULOUS!! Pork ribs and some type of smoked sirloin butt meat, no clue but it was awesome! We rested in the afternoon in their beautiful new house. Today we woke up and traveled downtown to NASA. WOW! We had a blast!

Dain is a eye glass rep and gave Addyson these discontinued frames. She LOVES them and will not take them off. They are just glass, but she thinks she is so cool!! She needs nothing else this whole vacation, she has it all with those glasses!!

We took one of the tram tours immediately upon arrival while it was somewhat cool. In this building they have full size replica's of the shuttle. I have pictures of the shuttle but thought you would enjoy looking at the family instead!

KAmron and Tyler are Star Wars fanatics! They got to meet Darth Vader and 2 Storm troopers. They LOVED it!!

Addyson was not as impressed!! LOL

They had the coolest "ride" where the kids were in harnesses and went through a maze like Indiana Jones. The boys loved it and Addyson did it, but it wasn't her favorite.

We also got to shoot these neat guns that were Clone War Blasters. It was dark in there and I didn't get good pictures of us inside.

The boys did a relay race through this pitch black room with lasers that they had to avoid. KAmron went first and got the best time of everyone that had gone before him....ALOT! We were so excited and then Tyler went and beat Kamron by 4 TENTHS of a second!! Isn't that hilarious!! Here is the score board!

After Nasa we headed to the boardwalk and KEMAH. It was fun. We got there about 4 and went to Joe's Crabshack for some appetizers and drinks. We were hot and thirsty!! I am not sure how much DP and Sprite the kids had!! LOL Dain and Todd got Oysters (2 dozen...YUCK) and we had some yummy calamari and crab dip. Kamron ate an oyster. He came really close to throwing up at the table and then I almost followed after he was gagging. Not a pretty sight. Of coarse Dain was agging him on the whole time. He is better than me!!! YUCK~~ After Joe's we went to "The Beast" a really fast tour boat. I asked a lady in front of us to take a picture and she didn't get Chrissy in it. Chrissy is behind my big ol head! These are our "before" pictures!! LOL

This one is so funny because Todd can not stand hat to be worn backwards, HUGE pet peeve!! They didn't want their hats to fly away!

We went really far out in the bay. It was FUN!! The people in the back were getting pretty wet but we were smooth sailing UNTIL he slowed down and deliberately DRENCHED us!! WOW! WE WERE SOAKED!! See how much Addyson LOVED it!! LOL (I could of wringed out ALL of her clothes, undergarmets included!!)

Chrissy is on the boat!!

The boys are playing golf tomorrow and the girls are hitting the outlets. I doubt I will have any fun pictures, but we are eating at a really great restaurant tomorrow night!! (We had ice cream for dinner tonight, it is vacation, right??)
