So Mike and Lisa got the family tickets to come visit Brett and I in Texas. They were here two weeks ago. We wanted to give them a real Texas greeting so we made sure to dress appropriately (cowboy boots and hats and the whole get-up, Brett was actually trying to put pigtails in my hair but I stopped there) they were here from Thursday night until Monday afternoon. Here is a run down of what we did;

Herman Park(took a train around the park)
Holocaust Museum
Whole day at Galveston (rode the fairy and played on the beach)
Gave them a tour of UH
Had a Texan BBQ lunch at Pappas BBQ
Played card games
And just enjoyed each others company

Here are some pics of the trip;

Wes was the only one that was brave enough to get in.

Here is still a lot of damage from Hurricane Ike

We all loved the way the houses were up on stilts

Sod

So we got a backyard now. We had the missionaries over and they helped us with putting in the sod. It took all day but we did it!
