Tour de Houston

We spent this MLK day with the Frenchs taking quite the tour of this beautiful city of Houston! We were all over the place with a hodge podge of activities that added up to be a really great day!

First stop was the food truck park. It probably isn't the most kid friendly place, but our Thai/Mexican fusion sandwhich and quesadilla were yummy. And I had some of the best hamburger I've ever had in my life from Bernie's Burger Bus!





Then it was onto the Houston Museum of Natural Science for a planetarium show and a fun ride on a T-Rex for Keags. They wouldn't let Riley ride which hurt my heart. But once thoughtful Miss Taryn bought Riley a cute Dino, she was as happy as can be and even made growling noises!














A gorgeous and free train ride through Herman park was even better then usual. It was the beautiful weather and a packed park with lots of fun things going on that made it great. It took us to the zoo where I'm happy to get good use out of our membership! We had a casual and easy walk around to see our favorite animals and then just sat on benches to talk and eat a snack. Funny how that ended up being the best part.

Then it was a walk through Herman Park with Keagan pushing Riley around like a mad woman in her chair. I wondered what people must of thought seeing these two run past them! But it's just so cute and it generates so many cute giggles from both girls!











And finally we got to meet the Fosters for a yummy pizza fest at Grimaldis in The Woodlands! A yummy meal with great company was the best way to end the day!


At the start of the day we talked to the kids about Martin Luther King Jr and what an incredible man he was. Since there was six of us, our goal was to do six acts of service in honor of him today. I am so thankful for the great service that MLK gave our country and the loving way he accomplished his great achievements! There is so many, but my favorite MLK quote is..."Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

I hope we can live up to many the ideals he fought for and have many more MLK days like today!
