2011 Houston Boat Show


What you don't get a photo of is the arguing and yelling because they both want to drive.
The last time we went (I was pregnant with Sean) there were many more yachts.  This show only had one with two staterooms and two heads.  I guess they weren't even going to try in this economy...

A racing boat, or as Sean called it "an airplane-boat."

Merry Christmas!

Sean was so excited; I think he woke up around 5am and then went back to sleep.
Got a Heckler & Koch MP5 - what every other 3-year-old wants.





I can't believe it was all over so quickly.

Off to the Pumpkin Patch!


Here we are waiting for the hayride, which was missing the hay.

Looking for two good pumpkins.  Curiously, the pumpkins were unattached to any stems or branches or whatever they are attached to when growing.  As if they just fell from the sky into this pumpkin patch...

In Search of a Pumpkin...

We took the boys to Dewberry Farms to pick out some pumpkins.  It's kinda like a state fair, but I didn't find any funnel cake.  

The boys had to drive the big tractor.  How big was it?
Huge!

Matthew Boulevard

I was super-excited.  Matthew, not so much...  After all, the chances of finding a street with my name are pretty slim.

Walking Around Our Little Neighborhood



In Preparation for My Vespa...

Matthew and I rented a couple of scooters.  I was really nervous and we drove around the parking lot for a good 20 minutes before hitting the road.  Even then, I cruised at about 10-15 mph, so there was quite a line of cars behind us.
Stopped at a cookie shop for a snack.  Matt's first slurpee in over a decade.  On our way back, I actually drove the speed limit!

Naval Aviation Museum

After the show, we went to the Naval Aviation Museum.  There was an aircraft carrier playground in the children's area that the boys just loved.  We did not make it past the kids' area to see any of the planes.

In the Cockpit of an F/A-18 Fighter Jet

Sean knew exactly what to do once he sat down.  
Daddy barely fit!

Checking Out the Other Airplanes

I have no idea what Sean was looking at.  But it must have been amazing!
Sean and Grandma waited in line to see this helicopter.

The Blue Angels

Got up really early to catch the Blue Angels practicing in Pensacola.
Boy, those jets are loud!
Ahhh, earplugs!
Overall, a very impressive show.

Dolphin Cruise


We booked a dolphin cruise on the Southern Star.  Saw quite a few dolphins, but those mammals are really fast.  So the only photo I got of a dolphin is the tip of a dorsal fin in the top photo.  Can you see it?

Yay for Beignets!


Of course, we had to have beignets.  We had already been telling Sean and trying to describe the fluffy, deep-fried pillows of dough swimming in powdered sugar.  The boys liked them because they've inherited my love of carbs.

Sweating through the nice walk back to our hotel.

Hellloooooo, Hotel!

The boys had such fun exploring our hotel room.


And that includes playing in the big, fluffy beds.
