Spring Break, Day 2

Unfortunately we were up and out bright and early this morning! Both girls had appointments at Texas Children's for their yearly kidney check. They were both so patient and cooperative! Riley needs another kidney ultrasound and Keagan needs to go back on blood pressure medication again but otherwise both girls look great! 

As promised, we made the rest of the day fun! We went to the number 1 rated restaurant for kids in Houston for lunch. Little Mikes had a wall of iPads, an arcade, a candy shop and really yummy food! We sat outside in the beautiful weather and Keagan juggled rocks. Then we played in the arcade and both my girls won themselves stuffed animals by playing the claw! Yep Riley won all by herself! 

And then it was on to Discovery Green which is a gorgeous park in downtown Houston! We did a lot there. Besides the typical park fun, they had great stuff for Spring Break! They had STEM project tables set up by Girlstart and we made cars out of wooden spools! It was also a "touch a truck" event, something I have been wanting to go to. The girls got to touch and/or sit in a police car, a SWAT truck, a garbage truck, a police helicopter, a tractor, an army transporter, lots of construction vehicles and art cars! They loved it! And then Keagan begged to try roller skating for the first time at the outdoor rink there. I was so proud of her courage and determination! She went out there on her own, with Riley and I cheering her on from the sidelines of course, battled the crowd and conquered something new! She stayed against the side the whole time but she did it! I was so proud of her! 

They were petting this car! 

We have played hard for the last two days and loved it! I'm thinking tomorrow though we are going to take it easy hard, relax hard and chill hard! Tonight I may just have to pray hard that we can sleep in hard tomorrow! Now that's my kind of Spring Break!  But I would still consider today another huge success!
