My 3 Amigos

My Love. My Life. My Happiness.

St. Patty’s with the Lads

Despite some meltdowns, our walk to Rice Village for lunch, libations, and celebrations was hilarious for us and exciting for the boys. Thanks to an awesome St. Patty’s day package from Grandma, we also had some great green gear to sport.

And though I couldn’t get Luke Skywalker to put down his light saber, Han Solo and Chewbacca hammed it up in the back during the walk back home while they worked on Jedi balance tricks.

Surfside, TX

We ventured away from Galveston, based on a tip from a parent that Gus befriended at the park (shocker) and found another fun beach! Surfside, just east of Galveston, was brilliantly sunny, clean, and even had blue waves!

The best part about this Saturday adventure was that Gus missed most of the College Basketball Tourney Finals, but he didn’t care at all. His season had just ended and our family time on Saturdays had been limited since November, so he wanted to make memories at the beach instead. He ALWAYS puts us first, and we couldn’t possibly ask for a better daddy or husband. Happiness for our little family is always prioritizing what truly matters, and no one is better at that than him.

Adventures: Waiting for Daddy

When Gus is on a roadtrip, Sunday mornings are full of ANGST and excitement, because Daddy, a.k.a. best playmate ever, is coming home. Houston has some pretty awesome parks, and Hermann Park is one of our favorites. It’s only a few miles from our house, and with exceptional museums, the Zoo, a huge duck pond, reflection pool, a kid’s train, and water features all connected by Hermann Park, we never run out of adventurous options to pass the time waiting for Daddy.

Today, the boys spent two hours playing with Sam Houston…

and then the reflection pool. They spent at least a half an hour “sailing leaf  ships” down the current…

and then of course…we break a rule or two.

We also stumbled upon the Japanese Tea Garden that I didn’t even know existed and we can’t wait to return in full bloom in April. Houston is truly an all-inclusive city for all ages; we are still finding new adventures daily and considering we get out to explore almost everyday, that’s saying a lot. And no adventure could have a better ending than when Daddy arrives and sneaks up on the boys by the Koi pond.

Excuse Me…

But, did I just hear you say…

the Rodeo is coming?
