Houston Children's Museum

 

We started our vacation with a stop in Katy, TX, to see Heather and Jesse.  Before driving down to Galveston, we stopped at the Houston Children's Museum. 

 

July 4th in Apache

 

Apache celebrated Independence Day on Sat., July 8, with games for the kids and a hotdog feed in the park.

Clothes: Optional

I would have to really search to find a picture of Lucas wearing clothes. 

Summer Growth

Despite the heat, our little plants are holding up.  Here's a peek at what's growin':

New bed this year: petunias, rosemary, salvia, lantana, and something I can't remember

These beauties fill the field next to us.  I love having wildflowers in view!

Our plants are filled with these gems.  Nothing better!

Lucas wanted watermelon, so we planted one plant.  This is/was the 2nd watermelon on the vine.  As of this morning, there are NO melons left on the vine.  Pete thought both were balls and "picked" them. 

Memorial Weekend

Several family members gathered around Memorial Day for a little fun and cousin time.  Besides the usual cousins (Nathan and Wade), Lillian and Lucas got to play with 2nd cousins (I think), Josie and Clay.  All the kids play really well together and Josie is Lillian's only girl cousin
