Spring Break in Texas

Since the kids had a pretty long Spring Break this year (10 days if you count the two weekends plus the Monday after Easter) so we decided to head down to Texas to visit Jason's parents and his sister and three kids who live next door. We headed out right after school on Friday, March 18th and drove straight through the night with Jason and I taking turns driving. We arrived in Humble, Texas on Saturday at 11 a.m. and the kids played with their cousins nonstop that whole weekend.

While their cousins were at school during the day that week, Grandma and Grandpa Call took us on a few fun adventures near where they live. 

On Monday we headed to downtown Houston and explored the tunnel system and some of the high-rise buildings. Landon is a bit scared of heights so he wouldn't get too close to that window...

On Tuesday we headed over to Lake Houston and a fun nature trail that wound around the area. All the kids loved being out in nature...

The trail was nice enough to be able to take a stroller on so we could contain this little girl a bit!

We enjoyed skipping rocks into the lake.


And playing inside this big tree trunk!!


We even found a tree fort someone had built but it was a bit rickety to climb all the way up.


It didn't stop us from trying our hand at tree climbing though!

We spent the rest of the week visiting various parks, flying kites, playing on the trampoline and running through the sprinklers. We also played a lot of board games together too. Such a fun and memorable way to spend our Spring Break!!
