Houston Trip

For Labor Day weekend this year we headed down to Houston to visit Aaron's family. His Mom and Dad picked up Grandad on their way down. And his Sister and her family met us at Perry and Debbie's house (Aaron's Aunt and Uncle). We stopped in Dallas and stayed with Grandma for the night. I always enjoy seeing her. In Houston we had a great time visiting, eating and watching the weather channel. Hurricanes threatened the coasts along the Gulf of Mexico. Despite the weather, we decided to head down to Galveston. It was so fun watching the little ones as the waves came up nearly knocking them over. The also enjoyed sitting in the sand and grabbing huge handfuls. Jeff took Sophy out in the deeper water and the waves really pushed them around. It was so fun, I didn't want to leave but the kids were exhausted! We had a great time at Perry and Debbie's house. The house is lovely and the land is picturesque. The only thing I didn't like was the humidity which so so high that the air was thick making it uncomfortable to go outside. Good thing they have a pool! After we left the hurricanes finally came in and did tons of damage. Perry and Debbie and Katie were able to survive with a generator, a small fridge and gas range. We were so thankful that there wasn't much damage to their home or animals. Thanks for a great weekend Perry and Debbie! I can't wait to come back.
