Texas Trip - Museum Days, Shakespeare, and Kemah Boardwalk

-

 

One of my favorite things about the Houston area are all of the world class museums.  I dragged children to the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the Houston Natural History Museum, The Houston Health Museum, and the Miller Outdoor Theater to watch Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. I had a great time, the children mostly endured, but everyone loved a yummy picnic on the Miller Outdoor theater amphitheater lawn and a photo op to be a geode-butterfly.

We also stopped by Kemah Boardwalk for a few hours and soaked in the boardwalk fun.  I think the breakout hit ride for Diana was the carousel.  That kid LOVES a good carousel.

Wishing a Merry Christma...

Loyd closed out his High School experience as #4 in his class ranking!  Go Loyd!  I couldn't be more proud of him!  He has worked so hard the past 4 years.  He's held down a demanding parttime job at Ridley's Grocery store, taken on challenging college and AP classes, attending the DTC to learn more about architecture and engineering, taken time to build lasting memories with his siblings, and been the best friend ever.  And he's become a spiritual powerhouse at the same time, taking time to attend Seminary, study his scriptures and his Patriarchal Blessing daily, and never forgets to open his heart up in prayer to Heavenly Father.  This guy is amazing!  He was asked to honor an important teacher to him at the first ever Morgan High School Honors Banquet.  The spirit of gratitude and love that was there was the best feeling.  I'm so proud of Loyd and his recognition of Mrs. Heidi Miller for her love and efforts to help grow these students int...
