One of the days she was here we went to Brazo's bend, the alligator park.
On the drive up the kids fell asleep.
Thank goodness for grandmas comfy shoulders.

This guy was pretty big!
Lucky for us he was on an island in the middle of the water.
The weather was perfect for us, a little overcast and not too hot, but as for the alligators it wasn't the perfect weather for them to be out in. I hear that when it is sunny and hot out the alligators actually come out of the water to lay across the hot pavement blocking the walking trail. As freaky as that would be it would be pretty cool at the same time. I would just have to turn around and go back the way we came! One of these days we'll catch them on a HOT day!

It was a plus that while she was here the Houston Rodeo was in town too. We went Monday March 7th. The performer that night was Tim McGraw, one of my favorites! There were a lot of great performers that I would have loved to have gone and seen but since Tom isn't a big fan of country music and Tim is one of the only singers he knows in country we went that night, obviously I didn't mind though!
The kids LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the petting zoo!
They could spend all day with the animals!
And don't you just love their little cowboy, cowgirl hats!
Grandma bought them while we were at the rodeo
and surprisingly Cole and Avery wore them most of the time.
We rode rides ate some really great rodeo food and snacks, it's not a rodeo without the cotton candy and popcorn, and had lots of great entertainment! We even decided we would like to get Cole into muttin bustin' in a couple of years! How fun would that be!
I love the rodeo!

One of the nights Susan took Tom and I out to dinner while we left the kids with a baby sitter. ALWAYS a good thing! The rest of the time was spent just enjoying her company.
The kids were sad to see her go as were me and Tom but it was wonderful while it lasted!
After she left, when Cole would say his prayers he would say, "Bless grandma that she can feed her horses." So cute! We told him that is why she had to leave is so she could go feed her horses.

We love you mom and can't wait until you can come visit again!

It's so fun to have family come visit. And so hard to see them leave especially for the kids sake. It looks like you all had a blast while Susan was there. I have to say that I thought it was adorable of your kids in the cowboy hats!
