Staycation Recap ::Part 1::

Hi folks! It's been awhile for sure! My hubby's been in between jobs, so we attempted a staycation of our very own. I'll try to piece it all back together for you, but you'll will have to bear with me. I'm afraid I may have to bust out some pics from my phone along the way...

We spent plenty of days at the splash pad. What else do you do with the littles when it's 110 degrees outside?

And, we've been saying for years we would take the little road trip here...

We made it to the little town of Brenham, and if you're planning a trip here, you might wanna know that they are only open during the week.

Emma was so excited!

And bro is good with anything that involves food.

I love this one :)

And this is what you get when you ask your hubby to take a quick shot of you and the kiddos...pure blurriness :)

We got there early, but no cameras were allowed during the tour. So those were the "before the tour" pics and these are the "after." We were all eating ice cream by 10 am.

Emma enjoyed every bite.

It was so cool to see how the ice cream was made.

I wish I had photos to share of that part, but a girl's gotta follow the rules :)

There wasn't even a drop left in Miss Emma's cup.

I promise!

I was dying to try the birthday cake ice cream, but that wasn't one of the options. Guess we'll just have to buy the half gallon :)

This was our attempt of Emma being the "Blue Bell Girl Silhouette."

See below for the girl that Emma was trying to be... It was a total coincidence that their dresses and shoes were so similar. I should have brought her a hat and a bucket :)

I wanted a family shot at the end, but settled for this. At least it's in focus, right?

Later that weekend we met some old friends at Grimaldi's for dinner.

The kids got pizza dough to play with until their dinner arrived.

Bro decided to eat his.

Which shouldn't have surprised me.

at. all.

This place has the best. pizza. ever. If you haven't tried it and get the chance, you should!

While Rob was paying the bill inside, we took the kids outside to check out the fountains. In a matter of seconds, she was soaked...

And so was he!

Sometimes, you just gotta let it go...

They went home naked in the car...

And I feared what the police officer would say if we got pulled over.

Be back soon with Part 2...

Y'all sleep tight :)
