Houston Summer Fun

This summer we spent the majority of our time in Houston (this was in part due to buying a house and getting it ready for an air bnb listing, but more on that in a future post!). We were fortunate to have family and friends visit us while we were there and kept busy with lots of fun activities around the city (like the girls' first baseball game!).

Candytopia

This was our second time visiting tis fun event and we got to go with Grandparents and friends - even better! 

We also got to go on a double date with our family, buy fireworks for the Fourth of July, see old friends from Norway, have a sleepover and swimming party with friends, spent some fun time with Grandma, attend our favorite Vacation Bible School, and have a girls night with friends from church!

Kemah

A couple summers ago the Grandparents took the girls to Kemah Boardwalk and were eager to return. We spent the day riding lots of rides, playing games, and enjoying lunch among the fish!

Two of our favorite things to do in Houston were Levy Park and the Children's Museum. Multiple visits were made to both of these places throughout the summer. We also got to take the girls to get their ears pierced and then had some sad goodbyes to our friends that we look forward to seeing next summer!

Another fun activity we did this summer was to hatch our own butterflies! We bought a kit and observed the process from caterpillar to butterfly. The girls were amazed with the transformation. 

We had an amazing time with Grandparents who made the journey to us in Houston and helped watch the girls while we worked on the house. 

We also got to spend more time this summer with Jason's sister and her family. The girls loved having multiple sleepovers with their cousins and all of the fun we had together. And look how much they've grown over the past years!
