Houston Adventure -- Park Day

While we were in Houston, we spent time at some really fun parks. The kids were always so excited to go and then about 20 minutes later were drowning in their own sweat (Oh Houston humidity, how I do not miss you!!)
 
We tried to go pretty early in the morning to avoid too much of the heat. Nolan loved running all over the place now and seems to do a pretty good job of sensing dangerous areas and staying away from them (for the most part anyway!)
 
 
Love this shot!!
 
 
Abby always enjoys any form of swinging, either in actual swings...
 
Or going round and round with her cousins!
 
Landon doing his best on the climbing ropes. Look at that concentration!
 
"I'm on the top of the world, lookin' down on creation..."
 
Can you name this movie impersonation? I really needed Jason behind me to really recreate it well but he was busy taking the picture!
 
 
 
We ended several of our park visits with "Hide & Seek Chase" where the seeker has to locate and tag the person before they touch base. I think it was the first time many of them had played this version and they seemed to really enjoy it (although there were a few tears shed when they were caught at the last moment!)
 
So fun to have all this playtime with cousins though!

So fun, but yes it does get hot. We had a version of that kind of. We called it kick the can. We would hide and then they would come seek us. If they tagged us we were out but if we were able to kick the can we won:) Fun games as kids.
