A "Jolley" Visit

My parents came to visit us last weekend and we had so much fun seeing them! They were only here for 3 days, but boy did we make it an action-packed weekend. On Friday we went to a place called Kemah Boardwalk. This place was so cool and it was such a beautiful day outside so it was a perfect day to visit. It is on the way to Galveston and it has tons of fair rides/games, shops, places to eat, and a boardwalk next to the ocean.


My dad was determined to win at this game . . . and he did! Look at the intensity on his face - he's got the eye of the tiger for sure.

We went to some pretty gardens near our place. It's on an old Houstonian estate so we got a tour of the house and then walked around the gardens after.

My mom and I love hydrangea's! They are such pretty flowers.
Yep. . . that's my third and final visit to the rodeo! I'm pretty much an expert now at this whole rodeo thing so if you have questions, come see me. My parents couldn't visit Texas without going to the Rodeo. There was a girl that was doing barrel racing from Fresno - we were so excited and cheered way loud for her!
I love fair food! This corn was amazing!

Jeff and my dad and our friend John went trap shooting on Saturday morning. Here's Jeff looking tough.

Ashley!! So, I will definitely be coming to Houston quite a few times while we are living in El Paso. My sister and brother that live there are having another baby! They are due in early August, so I think I will be flying over there sometime close after that to help with the kids and the transition to 5 kids! Ahh... Anyway, looks like a fun visit from your parents! I haven't seen your parents in so long!
