Ice Skating!!!

It's been something Lizzy's wanted to do forever...so for her birthday (a few months late), Steven

 and Bekah took her and the rest of us tagged along. It was half of their first time to 

go and they really enjoyed it!

Getting ready!

"Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the

 Lord. Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember 

his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the 

judgments of his mouth." 1 Chron. 16:10-12

Blessings to you!

Hiking at Memorial Park in Houston

                                         We found a park nearby and went on a 2 hour hike.

 

A map of the park.  We were at the green dot.

A Day on Galveston Island

On Tuesday, we spent the day touring Galveston Island with Aunt Karen.  We had a really nice time!

This is where we ate lunch.

Pondering the menu...a salad for Aunt Karen, and crab cakes for Rachel, and I.

It was a delicious lunch!

And, of course, the day would not be complete without a stop at Starbucks!

On the spur of the moment, we decided to take a harbor tour to see the dolphins.

The Ferry

Enjoying the ride!

I know it's blurry, but this is the captain of our boat.

Watching the dolphins. 

  
"Should you not fear me?” declares the Lord. “Should you not tremble in my presence?  I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.  The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail; they may roar, but they cannot cross it."  Jeremiah 5:22

The Blue Bell Factory

Aunt Karen took Rachel and I to the Blue Bell factory in Brenham.  We got to go on a tour and see them making the ice cream, and then at the end we got a free scoop of ice cream.  Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures during the tour. 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a map of all of Blue Bell's location.

We finished the day off by a stop at Cheddar's to get something to eat.
