Welcome to Texas

My brother, Hank, and his fiancee, Christie have made the trek to see us out here in the great state of Texas and we are glad to have 'em.

Holland immediately latched onto Uncle Hank and has yet to let him get out of her sight. Here the 3 are at our favorite Japanese Steakhouse. We had a new "chef" at our table. We felt bad for him because he dropped every egg, dropped the rice bowls he was trying to flip, and tried to make the rice heart which was really more kidney-shaped, almost forgot Mac's steak order, and gave Hank about 4 shrimp total for his meal. But we gave him an enthusiastic clap at the end anyway. Honestly, I was just glad it was over and nobody got hurt.





Hank's birthday is in a couple of weeks so we had a mini-celebration. We try to never pass up an opportunity for a family member to wear a ridiculous hat and hear a mumbled version of "Happy Birthday."


We played a round of Putt-Putt. As always everyone's competitive nature came out. Mac got 3 holes in one.....yet still came in third place.











We had dinner one night at the Hard Rock Cafe, downtown. Like typical tourists, T-shirts were bought, not by Hank and Chrisite, but Mac and myself. Just supporting our city and getting a great looking T-shirt in the process. Win-win.






Stopped by the Downtown Aquarium. We took this picture to see what Hank and Chrisite would look like with children. I think it works.





Here, Holland is about to learn a valuable lesson about sticking your head over a jumping water fountain.






Swimsuit or not, Grey doesn't hestitate to run right into the water.










After circling the perimeter 100 times, Holland gives in to the call of the water.
