Ben, Bryce & Elicia's visit to Houston

Ben, Bryce & Elicia spent the 4th of July week in Houston; first staying with us and later staying with Elicia's family on east side of Houston. They returned home yesterday.

While here we went to the Houston Downtown Aquarium. We've been here 12 years and have never been there. We all had a good time there.

I went on severel walks with Ben. He loves to go outside. It rained quite a bit this week and Ben had fun in the rain.

Visit with Lauren, Joanna & Adam

After visiting April & Michael, we continued on our trip to visit Lauren, Joanna & Adam. Lauren was kind of new to walking. We also celebrated Joanna's birthday (a few days early) with Adam's family.

Visit with April & Michael

The first week in May, Mom and Dad visited April & Michael in Denver and, later, Lauren, Joanna & Adam in Stansbury Park.


While visiting April & Michael, we went to a Colorado Rapids vs Houston Dynamo soccer game. It poured down rain and we all got wet even though we had umbrellas. At half time we took cover near the concessions and ended up watching the rest of the game from there. Houston won the game. Mom also spent some time exploring April's sewing machine.

Washington DC visit with Ryan, Jill & Jeff

In April, Mom went to visit Jill, Jeff and Ryan for about 3 weeks. Dad went for 5 days. One day we went to the Mall in Washington DC. It rained most of the time, but we all had a good time.

Ryan likes to dance and was a joy to be around.
