Spring Break Part 2

We had so much fun hosting Doug's family for a few days during their spring break. We celebrated Mom's birthday and even let her eat her favorite Black Walnut ice cream from breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  :)   



We celebrated her big day like any other Texan would and....went to THE Houston Rodeo!  We had a great time!  Doug finally got to try the famous deep fried turkey legs.  After waiting at the egg hatchery for over 15 minutes, Cal's patience paid off and he saw a baby chick peck its way completely out of its shell. 

 Other highlights of the trip include a day trip out to Brazos Bend, Home of the Alligators.  Cal was a little nervous since we keep finding so many and Rhett was so happy being in Grandpa's arms pointing to all the birds. 

We had a lovely little barbecue for lunch and were in the middle of cleaning up when we got a little Texas surprise.  A flash flood RAIN!  In a matter of 10 seconds it went from cloudy day to raining cats and dogs and elephants too!  It was a great memory full of screaming!
