Puzzles, Pennies, and Pracitcal Jokes









We had such a great visit with Gramby and Pa Pa this time! We kept them so busy... In addition to the Rodeo we enjoyed some down time at home doing LOTS of puzzles, playing baseball in the backyard, Wii, and Pa Pa even watched and enjoyed the movie, "Everyone's Hero"! Thanks to Gramby and Pa Pa, Tom and I had a wonderful date night where we used gift cards to eat at Saltgrass (thanks Steve and Karma!) complete with a HUGE piece of cheesecake! Then we got to see "Duplicity"! On Friday we went to Kemah where the crowds were so fierce that our plans to ride the train turned in to getting ice cream, listening to the music, and watching the boats! That evening after Tom got home we headed to Galveston and walked on the jetty. The boys were having so much fun watching the waves crash and not getting wet as instructed... but then Pa Pa played a little practical joke on Andrew and Braden and took my bottle of water and poured it on them from behind! Too funny! We even got Pa Pa to eat Mexican again this visit and we all enjoyed Salsa's and the queso (cheese dip)! :) Saturday we went to the San Jacinto monument. What an awesome view! We were up 540 feet and all the boys could do was crawl around on the floor looking for pennies. They really wanted a pressed penny so bad! They ended up with at least 15 pennies, made 4 pressed pennies, and even left some to bless other families. We took the ferry home and ended up with a long drive! Church, out to eat at Boondoggles and more time outside rounded out a great visit! Can't wait for them to come again!
