Roadtrip to Houston

Uncle Andrew graduated from Law School this past weekend, so we packed up the car and headed down to Houston for the big occassion. The kids did fantastic and were such awesome little road warriors!! We stayed with our friends Danny and Kelly, who were sweet enough to take us all in.

Then big brother wanted to jump in for some pics.

This is such a new thing--he wants to be in the picture, smiles for the camera and kind of poses for it, too:)

We ate at Lupe Tortilla and it was Miss Lila's first time at a restuarant. As you can see, she thought it was a great time to take a nap.

I asked J to get in a pic with Kelly and Danny. He ran over there but had to have a little space in between them for some reason. Their friendship had yet to be solidified by games of hide and seek and soccer.

Lupe Tortilla had a really big kids play area complete with sand. I didn't think we were ever going to get Jackson out of there. Afterall, he was super busy building his first sand castle.

Somehow we lured him away, though, and got this pic of the Hays Fam after dinner.

When we got back to Danny and Kelly's house that night the games began. Hide and Seek was the chosen game and all of the adults took turns looking for Jackson. He cracked us up because he was such a good hider. He never made a peep. This time I guess he thought that if he hid his eyes no one could see him. He stayed like this a good 5 minutes! Too funny.

The next morning we got up and went over to Carol and Rob's house for some more visits. Jared was the only one who actually attended the graduation ceremony that day. The rest of us stayed and played at their casa.

I put on Lila's UT bloomers just for Carol so we had to get a picture with them in it. It was so fun seeing all our friends and we are very excited for Andrew and his big accomplishment!

Way to go Uncle Andy!
