Family-moon

We FINALLY had an open weekend to dedicated to our little family of 3. We stayed local and booked a hotel Downtown from Friday - Monday to take in all the attractions. We did EVERYTHING our Ava-bug would enjoy.

 

French Festival in Discovery Green:

Friday evening we checked out the French Festival at Discovery Green. Ava and I enjoyed the music and food while Ryan enjoyed a few cocktails. Too no surprise Ava was dancing around to the music.

 

 

Houston Rodeo:

Saturday we were up and at it early. We took the Metrorail to Reliant to take in the Carnival and Livestock. (Side note: boy am I glad we live in the suburbs. We saw some characters on the Metrorail and I was constantly telling Ava do not touch anything). As soon as we walked into the carnival Ava was dead set on the petting zoo & riding a horse. She LOVES animals. Then we walked through the Livestock where Ryan was re-living his FFA days and showing/telling Ava all about the animals and what was going on. They were both in their eliminate, while I was trying to get over the smell and avoiding any of us stepping in poop or pee. Afterwards Ava road a few rides, Ryan won her a toy and we indulged in fried ice cream then it was time to G-O. This mama was tired. That evening we met my family DT at Spaghetti Warehouse for dinner. Perfect ending to such a long day.

 

 

Discover the Dinosaur's:

Sunday we were back at it early (thank goodness because when we left the line to get in was wrapped around the GRB). We took Ava to the Dinosaur Exhibit. She had a BLAST!! She kept waving at the dinosaurs, saying which dinosaur it was and running from exhibit to exhibit. The rest of the day was dedicated to relaxing, taking in yummy restaurants and watching Frozen for the 1^st time.

 

We ALL enjoyed our time together!! I can’t believe how big my baby girl is. She is so full of life, tons of fun, silly, funny and so sweet. The best part of the weekend for me was having breakfast with her every morning at the café (Ryan doesn’t eat breakfast) chatting about the day before/the upcoming day and watching her have so much fun throughout the weekend (giving us that BIG smile).
