End of Summer Fun

The girls and I usually try to do something fun the last day of summer to soak up every last second of time together.  This year we had a blast!!!  The day started with doughnuts at Southern Maid and then we had a bit of a road trip.  We headed into Houston to a place called Candytopia.  It is hard to explain but it is only in Houston for a short time before moving on to another city.  All of the art inside is made out of candy.  There are fun photo ops using their app and the special cameras they have set up.  There is a huge ball pit of what looks like marshmallows to play in.  We all laughed so hard and made memories that I will treasure forever!

Let's get this party started!

We anxiously waited in this room before our scheduled time not really knowing what to expect!

This was one of the pics with the app.  That rainbow only appeared in the picture if you used the app.

When you stepped on the base of these flowers, they blew out different scents.

Is this really all candy?!?!

There was so much to take in, it was hard to see everything.

On to the next room!

There were lots of pieces of art made out of candy.  They had signs that told how many pieces of candy and how many hours each took to make.

This room was so much fun.  We got blasted with confetti!

This one didn't turn out as good as I hoped but that platform was spinning as they blasted us with confetti!  We were laughing so much, we all ate confetti!

Of course, we had to have a picture with the Astros hat for Daddy!

What would a day like this be without souvenirs???

Together Again!

Well, the girls had their 2nd fun week away, this time with Braelyn at Grandma and Papa's and Emerson at Gransan's.  I had to work in College Station so I met Grandma and Papa there to pick up Braelyn and Gransan brought Emerson all the way home.  While she was there, we got in a little shopping and a movie!

Ready to head back to Houston-with much more stuff than I sent with her to Nolanville!!

There are no words!

Go Stros!

This time while the girls were away getting spoiled, Daddy and I decided to go on a little staycation!  The first night of our getaway, we got a hotel right across the street from Minute Maid.  We walked and got some great bbq before and then had a blast at the game.  The next day we moved hotels and stayed over close to the Galleria and enjoyed some time down by the pool before going to eat Mexican food at Irma's and to a show at Comedy Sportz.  It is so nice to get away even if you stay in the same city to not have to worry about cleaning up around the house or anything else! 

It was perfect-they were giving away Nolan Ryan jerseys!

We had to send pics of Orbit to the girls!

Thank You Miss Emily

We have been so blessed to have Miss Emily the last couple of summers.  Today was her last day for this year before heading off to college.  She surprised the girls with the cutest shirts and some framed pictures with the sweetest notes before she left.  So thankful that it looks like she will be back next year!

The girls' shirts say "Texas State Stole My Babaysitter".
